Reply #15 - Nov 6^th, 2003 at 7:32pm Right now mine is about shoulder length but since it is a layered cut anyway short bangs aren't an issue. If I let it get longer do you think that it would be an issue? I don't see many long haired guys with short bangs.

Reply #16 - Nov 6^th, 2003 at 10:33pm I don't see many guys with short bangs and long hair other than the mullet-style cuts. If you are going for hair longer than your shoulders, I would think you would want to grow the bangs out, even if they are shorter than the rest of the hair.

BB.

I really hate the way that my bangs look as they grow out--even after they are long enough to put behind my ears. After a three or four inches of growing straight, the waves kick in and then it looks horrible. Of course if I let it get long enough for a braid or ponytail this would no longer be an issue... I'll have to think about that one.

I tried sending you an instant message yesterday. I'm not sure if I went about it the right way though. Have you recieved it yet?

I think everyone hates growing out bangs - myself included. Guys probably have a harder time as you probably wouldn't want to pull them back into a cute barrette on top of your head or wear a headband, which is what us gals do when growing them out.

I see a lot of guys wearing scarves tied tightly on their head, this could be one way to hold the growing out bangs out of the face until they get long enough.

I didn't get any messages, sorry.

Okay, now for my two cents. I love the loose long hair, but it's not always practical. The basic pony tail, the banded pony tail and the single braid(whether french or not) are great.Oh also, the part up part down. Love that! I think, just my humble opinion, that the other dos are a bit two feminine. At least for my taste. That updo it better than mine Cry

Reply #20 - Nov 11^th, 2003 at 7:53am Sticking my head in while I have time to take a quick breath... I agree with Jenna exactly. Love it long and down, and the other styles work for me as well. From an attraction standpoint, I don't like femme styles on men, but don't mind them at all on men who aren't trying to attract my particular sex ;)

Hey Bill,
I totally agree with u, long hair should be an choice for men. I was at the mall the other day when a guy walked by his hair was a golden blonde with white-blonde streaks. It was down to his waist! It was awsome looking he had a half ponytail that was in a fish tail braid. If I was so jealsous of his hair! The women loved it, he had one on each arm, with this one fingering his hair!

My hair is about mid back length (Wavey blonde/flame, extremely thick, it looks like rope when i plait it :lol: ), and i get so sick of just tying it back (not to mention that it shreds my hair something chronic), so lately i've been tying it into some sort of a simple bun and jamming some hair sticks (erm, sanded-down chopsticks he he) like an X into it.

I sometimes plait it, or leave it out (over my shoulders, because i hate having hair in my face), tie it back with a few ties (usually four or five).

So there you go, a long haired guy that tries different things with his hair (actually, i own a purple velvet skirt too, but that's a different story, the ladies seem to love it... :err: )

Reply #26 - Apr 25^th, 2004 at 8:20pm Hey, the first hairstick I ever saw was a guy's! And I actually thought the tailored skirt look for men they tried to establish in the early 90's was fabulous. When it didn't catch on I figured I'd have to satisfy myself with admiring a man in a kilt, which I love!

Welcome! Hmmm, the purple velvet skirt sounds like it could be an interesting story - care to share it?

Sounds like you could use a few tips on being gentle with your hair - Undecided

hang around here a bit and read the Ultimate Guide to Growing Long Hair for a few ideas. Susan has some great hairsticks that would look great in your hair under ChapStix - you might want to check them out.

I might also suggest checking out Bunjii ponytailers for another way to put your hair in a ponytail.

Thanks for the welcome Grin

Ha ha, yeah, I'm tired of pants and a shirt... i want to wear something interesting. Bring in the man-skirts and floor length capes and cloaks Grin

The bunjii hairties look awesome, and the Adirondack chapsticks look amazing... but alas, I'm in australia, so it makes it a little difficult to get nice things like that

The hair's pretty long, its just above my lower ribs in the back... but my hair is so damn thick, i seriously can't run my hands through it unless i've just conditioned it.

Plus male pattern baldness is soon to set it ha ha Grin

Don't be so quick to assume places won't ship "down under". I know that LongLocks does ship internationally and so does Bunjii - just ask about the shipping charges (granted they would be more than in the US, but if you plan your purchases, it can be worth it).

Capes and cloaks are great. Skirts.....well, I personally don't like wearing them myself. I do like long dresses (believe it or not, they can be cooler than shorts in the summer). Manskirts, well, you may have to be the trend setter there! Go for it!

From the description of your hair, I don't think MPB is in your near future! Cheesy
