Hair lenght?

mine is long. Regular long, not Hippy long. I used to have to go to a meeting every monday morning. One day I was looking around and it dawned on me that out of 15 guys, I was the only one with a full head of hair.

I keep mine short now. I used to just get it trimmed over the ears, but last time the wife convinced me to go back to a military low-reg. Since my hair grows fast and I don't get to the barbershop very often it turned out to be a good idea, I'm getting it done again Wednesday.

1/8", and thats only because thats the smallest one I have. Frankly, I wouldnt mind going bald. Hair is such a nuisance, what with the growing back and all.

I had long hair in the 60s. Longest in school. The army in the 70s made me cut it all off. Hasn't been long since. I used to watch my wife with long hair (I really liked that part) but wondered why she put up with it-lots of maintenance. ( She also figured it out and went to short hair). When I get up in the morning and take a shower (yes-evey morning if I need it or not) the hair is a towel wipe away and done with. Do yourself a big favor and get a flat top. That is actually becoming stylish again. Stay away from the DA. Not cool yet. If you want to know what the DA is, better make it an e-mail post!

I used to have fairly long hair in school...way back when.... and in college it was past my shoulders. That lasted for a number of years, but as I get older I find my preference leaning towards keeping it shorter. Looks better professionally. As far as a flat top goes.... haven't had my hair that short since the military and since I have a nice full head of hair, Im keeping it! Dad was bald, brother is bald and I was the lucky one.

Yup, I was one of the hairy ones. I always think back to basic training. looking in the mirror after the proverbal bald head job they gave us......and almost ROFL at myself.

I guess I voted short.... because it is short compared to the way I like it to be. If my wife would allow, Id probably turn back into a long haired hippy type..... pony tail.............um.. well... gotta rethink that too..heh heh.

I look at kids with their heads shaved... adults shaved.... and think about all the funny shaped heads with bumps, etc .. making heads look so goofy..... Its gonna be a long time before I go to a shaved head.

Bald-only shave it 2-3 days????That sounds like a lot more maintenance than a towel wipe and a haircut every month or so! Do you ever cut yourself and bleed on the towel? Tough to get blood out of a towel. You should invest in one of those barber shears. Less painful and less hassle.

I shave in the shower, only takes 3-4 min, been shaving it for over 2 yrs and only cut myself 2-3 times. I use barber shears to trim my goatee(trim it every 8-10 days)
