Picture Purged
Hey guys n' gals, I've seen what many of you lool like, so I thought 'why not share the love'.
This pic was taken in August 2003,about a month before my hair was taken back to my cranium.
Boy do i look different now! What with the difference in hair length and my current facial hair; but seeing as this is a board for longhairs I thought I'd post an appropriate picture.
One other thing, my hair was quite a few inches longer in the back at the time. Perhaps I might post a picture of my glorious mane and/or ponytail (sniff) in the future.
Gentleman (and ladies)...to hair!
That's a cool grunge-era looking hairdo you had there. What made you get the chop? What are your plans now?
Matt.
Thanks. Why did I get the chop? Well basically it came down to two things:
(1) My mother is a hairdresser.
(2) I have always had an excellent relationship with said mother.
Yet it wasn't like she nagged for a while and then I cut it. No, no, no.
Instead it was like a war of attrition. I grew my hair out for about 32 months, about 20 of which involved constant argument with my mom regarding.
I couldn't understand why it was such a big deal to her, but it was and after so long fighting, things came to a head (literally!).
Also my little sister (she's 8 years younger than myself) was getting teased at school, and most of my family and family 'friends' were vocally against it. HOWEVER if I hadn't had that situation with my mom, I would have still kept growing it despite these other reasons.
In hindsight however, I learnt a lot about my own stubborness in the face of pressure AND how to take better care of my own hair.
Right now, I've gone without a cut since late February, so what are my goals?
Basically, to grow the back of my hair down to mid-back and/or longer (i.e. waist) while keeping the fron and sides of my hair down to my collarbone or lower neck. In effect a compromise and a pseudo mullet, although with the front being so long, I'm sure it will very 'un-mullet' like indeed.
Hope that answered your questions!
It WAS very nice indeed!
You've got some nice hair! I hope you are planning to grow it longer :o)
To hair!:)
Excellent hair dude!
