Long Hair?!?

[Jimi75]

I just thought about the mysterium of having long hair. You are directly associated with being a musician, an actor or someone who doesn't take life to serious. In some way it gives you a certain jazziness...

I had very long hair some 6 years ago and I loved it. Had to cut it because of a new job. Although I am still doing the same job, I decided last summer to let it grow again.

Maybe it is also something mentally driven, but I am not sure....as far as I feel good and it fits my lifestyle... :-)

Is anyone in here who still has long hair or who recently thought about letting it grow again?

I used to have really long hair, but since it became thinner and thinner I decided to shave it of. I like to keep it military short these days. Its not as fun as having long hair, but it sure dries faster in the morning :D

I had hair down to the middle of my back for many years & then hair down to my shoulders for a few years. My hair has thinned out on top, so I keep it shorter now. But if I had a full head of hair, I'd let it grow longer.

Man, what an old balding bunch! :p Me too! I have usually let it grow a couple months, shorten it up, then start again. I call it my public defender look. With the last round of thinning, I think it starts to look like I am trying too hard to be cool, so I shortened it up. I am holding off on the Matt Lauer shave thing for now. :D :p :D

[warren0728]

funny that this topic came up...i used to have really long hair too but have kept it extremely short (i can comb it with a towel!) and have had a pretty long goatee instead....i cut my goatee way back yesterday and am thinking of growing my hair long again. I have plenty of it so no problem there but there is quite a bit of gray....

i have tried to grow it out a couple of times in the past years but get tired of it quickly so i don't know if i will get through the "bad" stages this time or not.

The kids are mad that i cut my goatee so i will probably grow it out again....

too bad we can't all have a great head of hair like our esteemed fretter robert.... :D :DR

Oh my! I guess I'm in this boat too. While on the road I had long, wavy rock star hair. Now it's typical Joe middle aged thinning hair. When the barber asks me what I want I say "add a little to the top."

Yeah, mine was wavy with loopy curls almost & *really* thick. My wife said I looked like Jimmy Page. I still have hair on the top of my head, but it looks imbalanced if I let it grow out. A little too Bozo-esque for my tastes.

Mine was never that long. Back in the day it was more of a parted in the middle Bruce Jenner, heading toward Shawn Cassidy sort of thing. Gack!!

P.S. Why does mine seem to migrate down my neck onto my back. sigh.

[marnold]

I never had long hair. Thankfully that while there is a touch of gray, it's all there. If I let my hair get too long, I start to look like the fifth Beatle (Leppo).

[Tone2TheBone]

I still have all my hair and probably will till I'm way old but it's back to being short. Had it long to my waist for about several years but got tired of it always being wet. Cut it all off about 3 years ago. Clippers with guides are your friend.

[Robert]

I had long hair too, I was a heavy metal teenager. My hair is now thin and rare to find, except when I go into shredding mode, then I use secret techniques to get that beaver fuzz on me head.

[Lev]

"beaver Fuzz" - sounds like a great name for a distortion pedal :)

[Tone2TheBone]

Octave Fuzz + Das Fuzz = Beaver Fuzz

ummm makes sense to me. ;)

[warren0728]

electro-harmonix big muff + octave fuzz = beaver fuzz :D

makes even more sense....to me....

ww

[SuperSwede]

Ehrmm.. Beaver Fuzz doesnt exactly sound like the hair you have on your head...

[warren0728]

Ehrmm.. Beaver Fuzz doesnt exactly sound like the hair you have on your head...
my point exactly!! :eek:

ww

[Jimi75]

Any old pictures you dare to post? This would give us quite an impression of the described hair.....

[Lev]

Or maybe a 'Beer Fuzz' pedal - makes you think you sound great until you listen back the next day :D

...sorry I digress - back to long hair talk!

[Jimi75]

Well, I think now we discoered how some of those stupid pedal names come to life.....throw in some stupid hair talk and end with the pedal of al pedals inspiring generations of guitarists.

Beaver Fuzz :-)

Great.

Can somebody photoshop a pedal to a beaver fuzz pedal?

[Spudman]

Ehrmm.. Beaver Fuzz doesnt exactly sound like the hair you have on your head...

That sounds more like a Britney and Paris thing.:eek:

Here is a trip down memory lane. Looking like this got me plenty of, ahem, pedals.

[Tone2TheBone]

Spud! You used to play in T-Rex didn't you!!! :D I'd post a pic of mine but they're all boring fishing pics.

[Jimi75]

Okay, that's me in my old Fender days with the Maiden guys. I am the one on the right hand....at that time I have already cut off half of my hair :-)

[SixStringJoe]

I always wanted to grow my hair but could never do that. Since a couple of months I'm letting it grow and will eventually have to trim it if my boss notices something wrong. I'm hoping he'd let me do it :)

Since you're Irish and I am too then you know that I'm going to pummel your head for associating me with that douche bag.

Sorry Man - Pints on me the next time you visit Ireland! At least when I'm drunk the pummelling won't hurt so much!

If that is an associative remark I'd like to remind you that I have friends in the Mafia where you live. Please DO NOT associate me with him, that one guy. If anybody it should be Tommy Bradford from the TV show.

Lev, we'll do the pints thing for sure because skulls hurt my knuckles too.

Dang dude remind me not to piss you off! :)

I remember Tommy Bradford and his hot sisters sssssssssss. My favorite was the cute young Brunette. The redhead was cute too in a smarty pants sorta way. My favorite episode was when Tommy was trying to win tickets from the local radio station to the Ted Nugent concert. If I remember correctly his character also played guitar.

Great. sounds like a typical night out in Dublin, Pints followed by a big fight! All we need now is a Leprucan to act as referee and Riverdance as the half time entertainment. :D

Wow, what a thread - long hair, beaver fuzz, michael bolton and irish street fighting!!

Only sick Irishmen can truly appreciate such a fine thread. This is the stuff we normally talk about, right? I normally get too pissed at the end of the night to remember what exactly started the fight, but I'll love ya come morn.

[ShortBuSX]

I had long hair since jr high...cut it all off after I graduated. Ive had short hair for bout 15 years now...started growing it out again last year, bout a year and a half later its just past my shoulders. Ive got thick somewhat curly blond-ish hair...my hair line is a little receading, but still thick...I figure Im gonna grow it out while I can. Ive got a cool job that doesnt really mind...but they do give hell about it daily(jokingly)...its funny though, I get more crap off the bald dudes than anybody. And to that I normally just repond to that like "see this(I run my fingers through my hair)...when was the last time you were able to do that???" They usually shut up after that.

[alanfc]

I keep it long-ish, on the shoulders... my job is OK with it.
I've got such a scrawny neck that I look old and female with short hair. Like an old lesbian actually. Not good for 40 yr. old 50% single dad looking for a new lady.

LOL, that was the familiarity I was sensing. Can I join for pints too? I have ancestors from Tipperary, and Norway. Guess that makes me Norish, or I-region. :p I could volunteer as the Norwegion Leprucan.

I hate to admit it, but I had a mullet for a while.

If you like cardboard and/or carpet it ain't too bad.:eek:

What the heck is a 50% single dad? Are you half a dad?

uh oh I don't know what you mean about cardboard/carpet :(

50% single dad, meaning, time-wise during the week my Ex and I have my daughter with each us equal time throughout the week. Afterschool, dinnertimes, overnights. She has her own room in each of our apartments, etc.. My Ex has a fiancee and I'm on the hunt (single)..
I just wanted to distinguish between the full-on Single Dads and myself..their job is harder.

well how about an all-out endorsement for my secret:

http://www.geocities.com/Eureka/Office/5687/Propecia.JPG

when I was about 37 I noticed a bit of shiny scalp showing, glaring, on my crown. Then got me to the doc asap and got the prescription. It not only stopped the loss but it grew back in there. I think the re-growth is only in 30% of cases. (finally Dam*it,,, I never win anything). No I don't work for Merck ! :)

You'll have to see the South Park episode where the kids get a hot substitute teacher.

In some ways being a 50% is harder. Who decides when they get haircuts, style, clothes. Our daughter was growing her bangs out to have a new style and her other parent cut her hair. Boy was she bummed. She was going for long hair herself (beaver fuzz to come after adolescence).:eek: :D :D

yeah I'm lucky my ex and I get along like brother and sister now,, and agree on everything. ..and we live about 3 blocks away from one another.
Its been about 5 years apart. My daughter was 3 at the time. We were together for 15 years and in marriage counseling for 9 yrs. ! We tried.

Had hair down to the middle of my back, cut it all off some 25 years age. I am fortunate though at 52 I got a thick head O hair. I dont think I could deal with longhair again out here during the summer its just too hot.

[Tone2TheBone]

Yeah summer heat burning through your hair on your back is bad...even with a pony tail. What used to bug the crap out of me was anytime I was doing something like changing the oil on the cars or something my hair would fall in my face and I'd be trying to blow it out of the way....used to bug the hell out of me. Especially on windy days! I could have just put a cool *** bandana on my head though like a hippy or pirate. :)

[Big_Rob]

Nope, I dont farm hair anymore. The corperate world frowns upon that, and since I need a job,,, Well you get my point.

Other than that, #0.5 shaved fade is how I keep it cut
