Hey everyone! First time poster, long time lurker here. I had long hair all through high school until I graduated from college. I cut it after graduating only to let it grow out two years, then I cut it again and kept it as a regular "business" type of haircut for awhile. A few years ago an ex-girlfriend took me in and had my hair buzzed off. I got quite addicted to it and my hair hasnt been over a quarter of an inch for the past three years.
I'm posting for this reason...I'm now wanting to grow my hair out but I dont know if I can get over the urge to buzz my hair anymore. It's really tough. I hate how it grows out all bristly and uneven and when I see that, I just wanna get it buzzed off again cos I lose patience.
I'm hoping that the people on the board here can be of some support. I used to have a lot of girls tell me not to ever cut my hair cos it was so beautiful. But, I didnt listen. I really want to let it go halfway down my back again, but I just dont know if I have the patience anymore. When I think that it could take three years..it just seems like a lost cause. Does anyone have any suggestions? I hope so. I'll post pics of me with long hair from before and me with my hair now if it'll help. I want to let it grow...I'm just not sure I have the committment to it or the willpower to let it grow anymore.
Thanks everybody.

Well it may take 3 years to get to the lenght you want but for most people by a year and a half you can tie it back, it may still look awkward loose but from there you can just wear it tied (which will make it look good) and the extra year and a half will go by much easier. So what i'm saying is you should only think of it a 1 1/2 years not 3, and a year and a half isn't really that long when you think about it. You may also want to take up an extra activity to keep your mind off of the hair, which will make time go by even faster. It'll be worth it in the end and you'll be glad you went through with it again.
It sounds like you've got part of the answer already...take those pictures you were talking about and tape them up to your mirror. That should at least keep you thinking about it before you step out of your house every day. All those women you speak of would be enough for most guys to stay in the game so to speak ..anyway it all up to you, man...it's your hair and it has to be your effort. Best of luck.
