...Thinking of cutting my hair.

I know, really? :lol:

It's just getting to be too much of a hassle... Plus, it takes forever to wash - I have almost been late to work because of it, lol.

This is pretty recent (just a few days ago, obviously):

This is me with no hair:

I'm shooting for something in the middle... Not really looking to just shave it all off again, but it needs to be short enough to be in & out of the shower in 5 minutes, lol.

Gimme some ideas. :lol:

I use a clipper to get mine short. Dries quick, no need to worry about styling.

And how the hell do you say your user name? I think of you as "Jeep grill person."

I guess that's close enough. :lol:

Or Josh.

I was thinking maybe something kind of like this:
Johnny Deep - Johnny Depp Photo (7044800) - Fanpop

(Trying to think of celebrities with cool hair, lol.)

No longer than that, anyway.

You look cool either way. Does that help?

I am letting mine grow. Its touching my ears and I can't stand it!

Josh66 · Dec 29, 2011

The thing is, I like to play with it when it's long, and I tend to pull it out... :lmao:

I'm afraid my constant messing with it is going to make me go bald early. I do the same thing with my goatee. Conditioner twice a week (on the goatee) helps with that though. :lol:

I guess most people think it hurts when you pull their hair, but I like it. Is that weird?

Bitter Jeweler · Dec 29, 2011

Yeah, that's weird. LOL

I used to have long hair. I buzzed it off because I was tired of taking care of it, like you.
I am at the point I have to wear hats. I hate hats.

But, I want something different. *sigh* LOL

I know EXACTLY what you mean.

I like it short, or long. If it's in between, I have to wear a hat. I've had it long for a couple years now, and I ready for something else.

It's just too much work, and I keep trying to pull it out, lol.

With a shaved head, I took 5 minute showers. With this much hair, it takes 5 minutes just to get it wet enough to put shampoo in it.

If you hate wearing the hat its a sign

that you need to head out and get a better hat

I cut my dreads a while back. I got tired of bums asking me if I had any pot. It was getting to be every single day; no matter if I had my toddler with me or not.

It's like, yeah man, hold my CHILD while I grab my stash. Srsly.

keep it while you've got it.

i used to have long hair too. just like you, i got sick of taking care of it. good shampoo is expensive.
so i buzzed it off, now i'm starting to go bald. during the summer months i get out the bic, but i need stubble in the winter to keep the toque velcro'd to my head.

I've been toying with the idea to cut mine as well. A couple of years ago I cut 10-12" off and it just won't grow back to any length. Plus after seeing some photos my partner took of me in October, I really noticed how grey it has gotten. Funny I don't see it with my self portraits. :lol:

When I was a teenager it would hit my beltline.

BTW, I only wash mine a few times a week. Good shampoo and conditioner and let it air dry. On the off days, just pull it back if I have to meet with someone.
