I've got the perfect hair type I think, but I'm affraid I'll be ashamed for my family . ( soory for my Englisch but I'm coming from Holland ). What shall I do and how ??

Mike,
Your English is great. I wish I could speak a foreign tongue as well as you.
I have a difficult time understanding why you would feel shame for your family if you had long hair. I assume it is a cultural difference. (I am from NY State, you are from Holland)
I firmly believe that each individual should follow their own path regardless of another's opinion. I do realize family preassure can be brutal. Are you still under your parent's roof? This also makes a difference. If you are an independant adult, you need to be your own man. Let it grow and see what happens.
Remember: You can always cut it.
You may also find your family is more understanding than you may think.
Good luck with your decision.
