I'm 16 (almost 17) years old and after going for over a year without shaving, my "Side Burns" are fairly thick but only about an inch long. It seems like they reached their current length a couple months after I last shaved and have not grown since. What causes this? Will they stay at their current length until I shave again or will they start growing faster as I get older?
I want to grow my side burns out long with my hair but don't know how it would look, if anyone has any pictures of this I would love to see them. It seem like Geddy Lee from "Rush" had his hair like this sometime in the mid 70's but I haven't been able to find any pictures (aside from a vague recollection of a picture I saw a couple years ago) of this.
Thanks in advance,
boh
p.s.- Are there other long haired ham radio opperators out there?
