I'm sick of my short back 'n' sides, and am now just letting it grow. I don't know whether refinement will ever be the word I may apply to this luxuriant mop, but I join you in solidarity brother thatch.
Indeed it is. Now it is sunny again and I am back off swimming outdoors I think I might get some dreads going. Don't worry, I will post pictures so you can all have a giggle at the silly white man.
Updating to say I'm on my way to my original picture. Slicking it back so feels rather nice. For the first time in my life, the hair on the top of my head is long enough to reach my mouth. I can chew on it. This is a bizarre sensation.
Well, lads. It's the OP here. First haircut in eight months, just to get it tidied up. The back was getting to be a messy, tangled mess, so it had to be done.
Still going strong on top. When I pull it down as far as it can go it touches my chin, though most of the time I'm wearing the Mafioso look pictured. My quest to wear long hair whilst not looking silly might be in jeopardy.
Having long hair rules but quite frankly you will struggle to not look like either a metalhead or a hippie and be pigeon-holed as such.
When you have long hair you really start to appreciate good quality shampoos and conditioner. Don't be afraid to spend a bit of money on good quality products, you are, as a marketing ploy would suggest, worth it.
My hair is currently short but I'm sure I will grow it out again at some point when I'm bored of having short hair again. I find an optimum length for me is around shoulder length, any longer and it starts getting a bit annoying, any shorter and it looks like I'm trying to hard to be fashionable.
What's more, I'm letting it go curly/wavy. Feels fantastic to be totally natural, and it looks good too. I estimate it'll be about three months before I get it to the length I want to, and I can't help but be curious, is anyone joining me this year?
