I had fairly long hair as a kid up through my first year of college (I'm 28 now). Like many other guys my age, I tried out some extremely short hair styles-even going as far as shaving my head completely lat month.
Now, I'm ready to go long(er) again. I'm shooting for something just above shoulder length. Right now, I have about 1/2" on top and tapered sides and back. I have a full head of straight brown hair.
What kinds of "awkward stages" should I expect in the next few months? How should I handle them? Any other advice?
Grit your teeth and hang tough 'til gravity kicks in! Trust me, your hair is going to test your will to its max. "Awkward stages"...let's see:
Unevenness
Sticking up/out
Unsymmetrical
Irritating
Unruly
Flat out funny looking for a while.
I am sure that others will come up with more. There are a few colorful expressions I could use, but I'll leave those to you. Believe me, you will know what I'm talking about. Best of luck to you...I'm sure we'll hear about them when you come bact to rant/rave/vent.
