View Full Version : I'm going to get a haircut...
After much reflection, I have decided to get a hair cut. Not just one, but all of them. Even the sideburns.
Like three years ago I started letting my hair grow a lot between haircuts. It got kinda long... about three weeks ago my friend was like 'You need to get rid of that 'Fabio' haircut' because at the time, my hair was down to my shoulders, and all behind my ears. I started not combing it back, so that I looked somewhat like Nixy in that hair thread a month ago - link (http://www.otcentral.com/forum/showthread.php?t=21023&page=1) - [the first picture, my hair was like that except shorter, just above shoulder length]
I thought it was all cool and shit... but then I thought about it and having long hair sucks. It's annoying to wash and comb, looks bad unless you comb it every 15 minutes (y'know, where there's the hair, then a bunch of single strands like two inches above it and it looks horrible), and requires constant adjustment to stay out of my face. Thats why I had originally combed it back, since it does not get in my face, but after seeing the 'Fabio' commerical during the super bowl, I decided that I didn't want to look anything like that fag. In the summer, or the winter, when I open the car windows (Previous car, the Mazda, which I had before the Olds, had exhaust leaks into the cabin and a crack in the gas tank so the interior smelled strongly of gas, so I would put the window down during the winter, and I kinda got used to it. In the olds, I still always crack it like two inches, especially in parkling lots and stuff where I want to be able to hear), my hair blows into my face and it sucks. Then my friend at work said that he would get me a haircut then teach me how to play rugby so I can get tons of babes in college. My brother, who had hair like mine, except he had bangs which were very frizzy and curly and too long and stuck out to the sides which looked disgusting, just got a haircut and it's very short and he likes it. I'm not going to cut it as short as his, but I thinking under three inches long, compared to 6-8 inches now.
Before and after pics forthcoming.
I cut it when I was like 20 or 21, the reason behind was not style, I simply wanted more airflow through my head, weird huh?
To this date, some girls that knew me with long hair still tell me to let it grow again. they say it is sexy.
I think you should completely shave your head and have it buffed and polished for maximum shine. :D
Our little boi is growing up honey *sniff*

Long hair=fag, huh?

No, not at all. Fabio = fag.
I just find having long hair kind of annoying and my friends say that short hair would be better.

Long hair does have that annoying 6 month phase before it truly becomes long enough to ponytail out of the eyes. Its what I call the 'surfer floppy' period.
I started cutting mine short when it started being obvious I was losing it. Nothing says "LOSER" louder than someone with hardly any on top and long hair on the sides (okay, maybe a combover).
Heh, that reminds me that several years ago when asked about having a shaved head, Bruce Willis called it "the combover of the nineties." :lol:
long hair onna guy sez sumthin' alright
:rolleyes:
It's fucking hair, Winky.

The combover is the worst. I'm trying to convince the bf's dad to get rid of his. Just live with the balding!

Yep! That's one of the reasons I keep mine short. That, ease of maintenance, and the fact that mine's curly enough that it poofs out on the sides when it gets too long. I end up looking the Bozo the fuckin' clown.
Same reason I started cutting mine a lot shorter too, although there's no curling to poof out.

You're past the fabio looking stage :p
Oh and my brother just entered the zone of being able to ponytail all his hair...he only wears it tied back at home though...he's considering cutting it and his gf and my mom are both backing that idea. I haven't seen him in over a month so I have no idea what it looks like...

I wore mine long for twenty years or more. I got tired of messing with it, and went to an old fashioned flat top. Love it. But it took a long time to get used to not having it long.
Awwww.... who's a cute widdle diddums. :lloyd:
:rofl4:
I have that 'puffy' problem too. The top is straight and flat, but after three inches it gets very curly and puffy. It's like a mushroom.
Ponytails seem kinda pointless to me... sure it gets it out of the face, but might as well cut it short.
Besides, unlike you people, I'm not old. I have another 30+ years before I need to worry about stuff like baldness and grey hair. Plenty of time to have it all different lengths.
I'm not exactly shaving my head either, it's still going to be longer than average. Somewhere around the three inch mark.

30+ plus years before you might go bald? Is that how it is in your family?... baldness creeping in by 45? My own grandad went bald at 17. I've known others flashing over mighty bald before 21. Its all genetic.
I know someone who went from brown to grey between his 18th and 20th birthdays.
My parents are both 47, with no grey hair.
I started going gray at 21.

Are you sure? :D
Anyone who saw my mom would swear she has no grey hair...I didn't know exactly HOW grey she is until she started dying her hair at home and had me help her with it once...

I held out til 34.
45 and no grays yet.. :D
kept my hair short ever since joining the Air National Guard in '81. It's just easier that way.
:rofl4:
What? A knockout blonde thinks I'm cute....and wants me to take off my pants. I don't have a single problem with the scenario. My wife sure as hell might, but I don't. :D
Steve? There are many compliments I find could be adequately describing of you...but cute widdle diddums is just not one of them.

I got tired of messing with it, and went to an old fashioned flat top.
"rolled up jeans and creepers on, a mighty fine sight to look upon, with his cool cool flattop"
-- "kool flattop", horrorpops
if i were a guy (or a girl who had a facial structure that short hair was kinder to) i'd totally rock a flattop.
No gray here yet... I balded a lot between the age of 20 and 22 then seemed to stop losing hair, but now it looks like it's picking back up again just a little bit.
The kiddo wanted to grow his hair long. He tried to let it grow on a couple occasions, but after a while it kinda looked like a big freaky hairy helmet on his head, so it had to go. Maybe if he thinned it out regularly, he'd be able to get some lenght, but nah. If we visit the hairdresser, they'd better make good use of my money. :P
As for me... Well, I'll probably end up with the Sinead O'Connor-look some time in the future. Or maybe a skullet. Those are kinda kewl. :lloyd:
I'd wear a buzz-cut, crew cut, um all whacked off cut,
year round except:
It is too cold in the winter
It exposes my noggin to excessive thermonuclear
irradiation in the summer
and I look silly as Hell (well more silly than normal)
with my hair all chopped off
I always go shorter in the Phoenix summers
and let it get longer in the winter for greater insulation
I've only just begun to get a hint of gray (Grateful)
and if I wear it a certain way it covers up most of the gray.
You poor bastards that are losing yer hair, I feel sorry for ya *NOT!*
I pulled the trigger. So far so good, but I've only had it for a little.
a haircut post with no pictures? :P
I got my mom to take a picture but it looks really creepy... the flash hit off my teeth, so I looked like the guy with the metal teeth in some of the bond movies...
It was weird... as my hair got longer past 2", it got very curly. Then it got long enough that the top straightened out but the bottom was curly. Now that the bottom is gone, the top is still straight. Very strange feeling.
Pictures dammit! We want pictures!
