ONE COLD FEBRUARY DAY...
... I was feeling particularly down and out...
quite a bit depressed, actually, when I just happened to be looking
through the booklet that came with one of my favorite CDs and I saw this guy with long hair...
...suddenly...unexpectedly...an Idea formed all by itself in my head
that I should 'allow' my hair to grow...
And once I had made THAT decision, I never did look back. Sure, I
had lots of doubts--especially while going through that 'awkward'
phase--but NOTHING nd NOBODY could change my mind...
..But I still have NO idea where this all came from--still don't!
So what about YOU? Was it a CONSCIOUS decision to grow your hair or...
...did it 'just happen' like 'out of the blue'?
It was something I always turned my attention to. Guys with long hair. For a long time I considered it bad, go figure, because I pretty much copied my familie's ideas. As I started growing up, and getting my own ideas I liked it a lot, but because of my curly hair, my family's opposition and other issues such as catholic school, I was never able. As soon as I could I went for it and nothing has stopped me.
I had important role models though.
Exactly! And yet you kept being drawn to follow your idea
to grow your hair.
There MUST be something at work deep down in the subconscious...
..or even from some Force beyond?
reason? it's my hair and i want to see how long it will grow,
It was a idea that grew over time for me, i watched bands with long hair and it looked better and better untill i wanted it
For as long as I can remember I
have loved how long hair looks
on guys. For some reason, it
never really occurred to me to
try growing my own long though
until my dad grew a ponytail for
a while. Seeing that made me
decide to do it myself. Now
he's got short hair, but mine
is long and growin' for good.
i think i've always wanted long hair but for one reason or another never really let it grow, mostly family against it.
this i was a born longhair but just didnt realize it untill a while ago, thank God my girlfriend convinced me to grow it out the end last year/early this year, almost ALL my heros and inspiration in life have long hair
most importantly my savior Jesus (PLEASE don't turn this into a "DID JESUS HAVE LONG HAIR OR SHORT HAIR" argument,LOL that's been SO overdone and i don't feel like starting a religious argument here) Shawn Michaels, Mick Foley (who inspired me to do more things than just gorw my hair :-), but that's another story lol)
The living legend Terry Funk, i also always thought
"THE BERZERKER" had a cool look to him (lol anybody remember HIM? lol he was suposed to be a wrestling caveman) strangely i always wanted to go for the savage "Cavemen" look hehe
It all comes from your roots
I think it was because when I was little, like 4 years old, my parents let my hair grow for a couple years. They said it was waist length (keep in mind I was only 3 feet tall I guess!). I barely remember it but it must have implanted in my mind the desire to have it really long again.
I just always felt that I needed long hair. Had somewhat long hair as a kid, and missed it when I got my first "conservative" cut. Didn't start growing it out again until '90 when I was 15. Suffered with a mullet until last year, when I sorta let my judgement slide a little and let my sister trim it. Then, I just decided to let it grow out completely. Was very close to having it all one length, until April's incident occured. Then, had it all one length, but a little short. Now, it's about 2" away from where it was before being cut, but, now, all one length. By December, it should be back to where I had it and I'll be back on track.
