I hate hairdressers.
They alwais ask me how I want my hair cut and I alwais say "with scissors would be nice".Ã, I don't know how I want my hair cut, it's not on my priority list. I don't plot how my hair is cut. I only see my face in the mirror when I wash my hands after taking a dump, anyway!
I only get my hair cut every half year. I let it cut short, then I let it grow for half a year and let it cut short again.
But now I havn't had my hair cut of more then 3/4 year.
I like having long hair. I can't explain why a guy wants to have long hair, until you get it youself. Then you'll understand. You just feel cool and get more self respect. You'll feel more like an individual then a clone.
I also came to the conclusion that my long hair effects other people too. Groups are more afraid of me and old people have less respect for me. Strangers stare at me, like I'm up to no good.
I'm going to get my hair cut next week. Not good timing since it's getting colder again...
What is your oppion and experience about hairlength (or hair colour).
What do girls prefer.
I had, until recently, what most would say was way too much hair. It was the length of hair that would have people stopping you on the street, and little kids pointing. It was a complete pain in the ass (not as bad as you might imagine) but I loved it. When the wind blew right, it felt sooo nice, and it was warm, and it gave me a LOT of possibilities for things I could do with it.
I recently got about... a foot or so cut off. I'm never getting it much longer again because this is just as nice (it's about ... just past the middle of my back) and I can't believe how much time is saved in brushing and drying it. Girls with super short hair keep telling me to get it cut because short hair is convenient, and it isn't hot, you can feel the breeze on your hair, blah de blah de blah. I say, pff to that! I may get it cut one day but only when I feel like I know a short hair style that's prettier than long, flowing hair ^_^
As for men... all I can say is that if you have long hair, PLEASE KEEP IT WASHED AND VERY CLEAN! I cannot STAND scruffy hair on guys, it drives me insane and ... I'm pretty easy with hugs to my friends but I won't so much as stand near a guy that has anything less than recently washed hair. It just seems to be a particular trait with long haired guys to keep it grubby. Yech. Dont do it, guys. You don't have to be a metrosexual, just be hygienic.
i just go to my barber and say 'usual' :P

Exactly!
Most of the guys around here have hair no longer than 1 cm. And everyone looks the same. But girls tend to like them better around here. I wonder why.
I'm also the dude with the longest hair in my class. It's not like down to the shoulders, but still. I like to call it a 'skater hair'. And besides, I look a lot better. ;) At least, in my opinion.
And I don't like going to the barber's either. So I usually just let them cut it shorter from every side and get out of there.
I can't say that longer hair changes anything, but at least I differ a bit.
-Eigen
Eigen: Skater hair is teh wicked. For anyone who doesn't know what it is, it's about chin-length hair that sort of sticks out when you're wearing a baseball cap. Skater hair, in my opinion, would look great with anyone.
Here's an example: http://www.kenston.k12.oh.us/khs/skateandwake/sept-skater-of-month_big.jpg
Kinoko: I, too, had quite a lengthy amount of hair, and although it was nice when the breeze flew through it, it would take such a looong time to groom:
1. You'd have to untangle all of the knots every morning.
2. It would get in the way during skateboarding.
3. Shampooing/drying was hel- heck.
So I stuck with medium length hair; I can still feel the breeze, it's easier to manage, AND skateboarding is much funner when your hair doesn't whip you in the eye everytime you try to do a trick.
If you're looking for a hairstyle, you might want to try mine... it's sort of longish in the front and shortish in the back... you get the best of both worlds, basically. Here're some old pictures of the style:

Hah, backwards mullet XD.
Anyway my hair is being cut soon, it's too long and it gets all curly and wavey so it's going.
Edit: I never said it wasn't awesome, just the way you described it, Darty
over-grown mushroom cut all the way....
I love love LOVE long hair. Mine and other people's.
-It's fun to play with
-it gives you an instant sense of individuality
-you can change your look five times a day (currently favouring pigtails)
For years I had rediculously short hair. From about grade 3 to grade nine my hair was never longer than chin length, but it usually only came to my ears. Ã, Then my mom started making me pay for my own hair cuts. The length of time between visits to the barber got really long, and therefore so did my hair. Ã, It's about halfway down my back, now.
I get it cut about once a year now... if I remember.
Dart: That is an awesome hair cut. It is, however, a reverse mullet. Where a mullet is uncool, your hair is cool.
I've been growing my hair for just over a year and absolutely love it. Sure, there's been some times it's looked like a very large wig, occasionally I can pull off the 'Cousin It' look and I have to tie a teatowel around my forehead to stop it getting in the way when I'm cooking, but aside from that it's been a flawless transition. Oh, and it makes showering a lot more annoying due to the unreasonable amount of time it takes to dry, but it does mean it's getting washed and conditioned (with Herbal Essences no less) every day.
And it's definatly not skater hair, ugh.
I hate my hair and who i am. :=
I like long hair. My hair isn't long now, but I had rather long hair last spring. Then my mum said I looked like a troll and begged me to get a haircut before my graduation. So I did. It was a mistake.
When my hair grows long, it gets all curly and wavy and looks horrible. And when that happens, I wear hat to hide my ugly hair. I wash my hair once a day and I've noticed it gets curly easier. Then if I don't wash my hair one day, the curlyness disappears when I wash it again. And, as Dark Stalkey said, it takes long time to dry the hair after washing it.
I've been thinking if I should dye my hair. Maybe some lighter or darker stripes? I don't know if it would look any good though, and I've heard dyeing hair at the barber is rather expensive.
Jumping to the cause before Darth gets here... Cut your hair you damned hippy!
I've got rather short hair, I have to. If I let my hair grow out past 2 inches the sides get really long and I look like a cat after getting sprayed with a hose. It's nice because you dont have to put product in it all the time and it looks just fine. The only downside is that I get bed-head quite often.
In reguards it female shortness, I hate when women get their hair cut way short. Down to your chin is fine, but anything way close to your scalp is very unattractive in my opnion.
I have mine cut roughly every 3 months. It grows about a half inch during that time. I don't really mind whether it's short or long really, so I have it cut short and when it gets so long that it starts to curl inconveniently I have it cut. The picture to the left was a month ago, I think. I just had a haircut last week.
Dart, that haircut is awesome. Don't listen to this "reverse mullet" business.
Once, I had a real mullet. I don't like to talk about it much.
Cut your hair. Long hair is rubbish and a hassle. (That's an opinion by the way, not JUST a scientifically proven fact...)
:= Ã, Ã, <-- Why not get a 'do like this man?
As Jet knows my hair is quite short, I haven't been to a barbershop in years and years cause I just grab a pair of buzzers and ZWWOOP off it comes, I think I've saved thousands of dollars that way.
http://www.agsforums.com/mittens2004/DSCF0026.html [I also love sandwiches!]
I have more hair on my legs than I do on my head.
For a while I thought about growing my hair out and longer but when it got to that insane stage where it's not really long enough to look good and it's not short enough to look good I got scared and shaved it off, much to Jess' disappointment.
And Jess is rocking the same hair style Dart. She wants to buzz the back of her head close but I don't think she has the guts for it yet. And ultimately what she wants to do is rock the Tank Girl hair...
(http://www.twisted.org.uk/tg/pix/tanky.gif)
But then again, who doesn't want to be like Tank Girl?
And the Tank Girl haircut is called 'the chelsea'. For some reason. I don't know why.
My hair is pretty short now, but it was rather skater-ish, emo-ish or scene-hair-ish before.
I'm letting it grow out now, because I miss that haircut.
I can't stand having short hair.
And Dart's hair rocks. Indeed.
My hair's fairly long now. It covers must of my eyes, normally, and if I pull it, it reaches to my nose. It's over my ears as well, at least 3/4 of it, and the back is quite a few inches as well.
Unfortunately, I have to get it cut today before I apply for a job.
It looks nice, and quite Beatle-like.
I've had the same hair cut for almost 20 years now, and I think I'll have it until I'm bald. Ã, I don't have all that much choice in the matter, either, save for just shaving the whole lot off, as I have terribly thick hair, espically for a blonde (though I've got streaks of white from stress), four large cowlicks that absolutly cannot be managed, and way too much bouncyness. Ã, Every time I switch barbers they comment on this. Ã, I have to keep it between 2 and 4 inches, less and it sticks straight up, no matter what I do to it, more and it starts to get all wavy and curly. Ã, This means I need to get it cut every 3 or 4 months. Ã, And I tell you, it gets more and more tempting all the time to just shave the lot off.
I like to keep it short, but just long enough to rub a little gel in it so it spikes up.Ã, I tried the long hair thing once, but my hair is too wavy, so that didn't last long.Ã, I usually like to dye it blonde:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/bodyart/blonde.png)
I shaved my head bald about a month ago, and then I realized that my head looks like a cue ball.Ã, So I can't wait until it grows back to it's regular length.
Sometimes, I do catch a little crap because I'm so picky about the way my hair/facial hair looks, but I just think that your hairstyle/grooming kinda reflects who you are and what you're like as a person.Ã, Plus, I just like to look good when I go out in public.Ã, Not eccentric, just mildy handsome.
I like long hair. When I was beatnik I had it long, it reached my shoulders :) but Benidorm is a quite warm city and it's not very comfortable. Also, as a cyclist, I must have it short, specially in winter, for avoiding colds (Long hair in winter for avoiding colds? Is this guy stupid, ho?) no! Actually, if rains and you're 60 kms away from your house, it's better to have short hair that can be dryed quickly.
I also hate brushes, so... Now I have it short, #3 at the flanks and #6 at the top (Standar european cutting hair machine).
P.S. I would like to shave my head someday!
I've got pretty long hair as I havn't had it cut for about a year. Its all curly so I got an afro kinda thing happening. The funny thing is is that I used to have straight blond hair when I was a kid, it just decided to magically go curly when I was around 12. I keep it clean, by like washing it usually every day.
I do like long hair. It does give me a bit of uniqueness, and the ladies seem to like it too. I'm generally a shy person, and having long hair, and especially an afro, makes people seem to want to talk to me more or something. I like it. Tho the problem is is that I need to get a job, and that rules out anything involving food.
I also don't find women as attractive when they have short hair. Hair to like just above the shoulders or so is fine, but when they have hair that is like mens hair, and spiky hair, Its just a bit not attractive in my opinion.
Anyways, heres a pic for you all to see... well only if you want to. http://users.tpg.com.au/lukinso/Forum%20Upload/me2341q.jpg
I can't grow my hair long, it just goes curly and really frizzy, I had longer hair when I was at uni and it looked more like Einstein's hair. I just keep it short these days, but I really don't think about hair much, or any style just to get reactions or fit in with any crowd, or to be different or to be the same.
I used to have what was called an undercut for years when I was at school, eg. shaving the back and sides to a #1 or bald and having a mop on top, it was quite long and covered most of my head, so you couldn't really tell unless I tied it back or if it was wet.
I didn't have a decent covering of facial hair until I was into my 20's, and I can only grow a decent goatie, the sides still aren't that full at 28, but I'm not as self concious about that sort of thing anymore.
I have no chest hair

I think females look better with long hair, but some are suited to short hair. it is only hair after all.
Oddly enough, where I live, long hair is more common. Even I had a messy "Beatles" hairstyle until recently, when just for the heck of it, I grabbed a pair of scissors and a razor, and went bald. It was an interesting feeling to keep rubbing your head and finding it to be bald. It has grown back curly now for some reason. Also, when before my hair was a brownish tinge from being in the sun for so long, now it is jet black. I grew a goatee to go along with it, and needless to say, I like incredibly freaky now.
I like very long hair for girls. My friend used to have hair that reached below her hips. It looked great, but according to her it was a lot of work. Of course, hair is hair, and how it looks depends on the person.
I am not very obsessed about my hair, and enjoy experimenting. Not dyed it yet though. Can't see it looking good.
My hair is dark, thick, and curly.Ã, I feel like a completely different person with each length of hair.

My hair is dark and curly, and grows out. So I get tall hair before long hair. When it's long it's curly, and bouncy, and I find a lot of people want to touch it (my "friends" usually just throw things as it, since my hair is so bouncy). When I get it cut, I get about finger length. And I like both about the same. My hair grows fast though, and I need a haircut about every 2-3 months. It's easy to maintain either way. Wash it everyday, and when it's long, it's curly, so I don't have to brush it.

I got the same kinda hair, Mills. I've got the jew-fro. It grows UP, not down. I'm sure if I grew it long enough, the force of gravity would eventually force it downward, but I'd have trouble getting it through doorways in the meantime.
My dad has the same kind of hair as me, and I've seen old pictures of him during the 70s where he grew it long. Those locks spread high above his head like a brown, curly peacock tail. If that's the alternative, I prefer to keep it short.
Well, I've got pretty long hair - About down to my shoulders, and I like it that way. Some people thinks it looks good, some people hate it, but I couldn't care less... Hehe.
I probably look like your ordinary household stoner/hippe.Ã,Â
Now if only I could get a really cool beard to match it, and I would look like... Bill Ward! Yeah, far out!
And I don't care if girls have long hair or are clean shaven - As long as the hairstyle suits them, I think anything looks pretty on a girl. :) I'm open-minded.

Oh yeah... which of these pics do you prefer, then?

My hair is reasonably long, dark and greasy. People often say to me "Hey, you hippy type orkish man, why did you grow your hair?" and I can never really answer the question as I don't know why. It's been growing for just over a year now and it's just going to keep on going! But sometimes (when un-groomed) it has a very frizzy afro likeness. But those marvolous products those midgets make fix that problem. I say midgets but I mean non-midgets. Anyway, I must say I like having long hair, it brings in the ladies and gives a great talking point. It also makes you seem different and keeps your head warm. And so I end my post on this note, C-major. I thank you, I'll be here till wednesday and for the picture of me http://www.rain-day.com/obi-leo/terminated.jpg That picture proves that bleach is not a good moisturizer.....
Long hair and beard. That's the only true thing. (Of course only if your hair isn't too sparse or curly and your beard isn't too thin)
I haven't seen a barber in years and I'm glad that this is so. Really saves money and trouble and makes you look like a troll...
You know what this thread needs?
Greek people, with long hairs growing out of their heads.
Oh GAC members, where aaaaaaaare you?

Well,
that wasn't what I was refering to... :P Meh... Oh well.
my hair is a little past my shoulders... i used to have it a little longer but i cut it for some diversity, now i'm not cutting it for at least a year.
i also prefer girls with long hair. in general, long hairs just feels more natural to me.
The result.

*note. This picture was taken before MittensIt's shorter then I wanted to, but the hairdresser said "I think it looks much better" and she is the expert.
I'm starting to miss it, but it's only hair. It'll grow back.
