an interesting day...
Nov 13^th, 2004 at 3:52pm

Yesterday was a first for me.

I was out with my cousin for the afternoon for lunch and errands - and saw more long haired men in 4 hours than I have in the past 4 months!

At lunch there was a 'surfer dude' with shoulder blade length hair......... thick and blond - lots of highlights...8)

Then, while driving to the store, I saw a jogger up ahead, and thought there was a strap or something hanging down his back... no - it was a herringbone braid past to the mid back - thick and black... Cheesy

While shopping for a gift for my sis in Linens 'N Things... the guy who asked if we needed any help had nice red hair - pulled away from his face - when he turned to leave he had a banded ponytail at least 20 inches long and curly... Shocked

Then - when in hallmark, a fellow walked by carrying a starbucks coffee - and his chestnut/brown hair was up in a twisted bun with a beautiful hairstick....

Then, driving into the Costco parking lot - I saw very long hair blowing in the wind - it was bound at the nape with a leather strap and was HIP LENGTH!!! Grin

It took me a moment to realize it was a man - the hair was so thick - (the base of the pony tail was bigger than my forearm), and it was blowing around - he was partially obscured...
I couldn't believe how healthy and shiny his hair was - I actually drove to where he was getting into his car, pulled along side and called out the window, " I'm sorry if I sound too nuts - but I just had to say how fantastic your hair looks - it is incredible!" - He actually looked a little embarassed, but said, "thanks so much, it's nice to hear"............

Was that an incredible day, or what?!
(the stuff dreams are made of for this long-locked lass!)

my best wishes for all our gentlemen members here - we ladies love looking at your hair!!! Grin

I see a lot more longhair on men In WEst Michigan than I use too. It seems before the First lord of the rings movie came out, there weren't too many male longhairs, the long style had died out. Now it is coming back. It may even be more pronounced than in the hippy era. One thing I do not want to see is people with longhair that don't condition wash or brush, comb their hair. That is what was wrong with Male longhair in the 60's, too many men made a bad name for the rest of the longhaired crowd.

I see this all the time where I am, too. I'm sure its partly inspired by the movie, but it developed a life of its own as guys who always wanted to grow out their hair realized that there's no time like the present.

But we probably wouldn't notice so much if we weren't obsessed with long hair as well.

The condition your hair is in says something about you and how much you care about your appearance, regardless of what length you have chosen or the trendiness of your style.

I get tired of looking at short hair in dreadful condition, too.

For me, the image conjured up by uncared-for male long hair is not that of the hippy.

I know guys who have decided to grow out their hair with no trims, despite the fact that it started in terrible condition and is progressively getting worse. Unfortunately the style is indistiguishable from the one being worn by semi-permanent residents of homeless shelters. I have difficulty understanding why a guy would want to look like a street bum, but I know they consider it a matter of taste.

WEll my hair started in a shaved position, I have had no trims yet, but that was because I started conditioning my hair early, after 5 months with a haircut I started Conditioning.
This is just an observation take it as you will, a lot of street bums have better hair than most men who have short hair.

There was this homeless shelter in my town I was volunteering at and they were all clean, the only good thing about shelters is it gets people off the streets. A lot of these people are ex-veterans, ex prisoners who have learned their lesson, or people that fell on hard times. Do not make a judgement on people that are homeless, while a minor part of the homeless population is homeless, because they do drugs or drink too much, many want to get out of that lifestyle.

Anyway enough of the rant.

One day last week I noted that there were four of us males with long ponytails in the magazine section of the bookstore. That was quite cool.

There used to be a guy working at the mall who wore a small bun every day. He's gone now. From time-to-time I'll see another guy wearing a bun but it is quite rare. As for hairsticks, I'm *it*. I've never seen another guy here in Ottawa wearing hairsticks.

I'm also in the "hair-growing-out-without-trims" club. I haven't had a trim in 26 months. I regularly check for splits and so far I've found and snipped off exactly two. Maybe I have robust hair? Or I just take good care of it. Natural ends are sometimes called 'fairytale ends' but perhaps males could call them 'caveman ends' or 'pirate ends'.

Johnny Depp............ *faints*

There are unfortunatly no fellows around here with long hair Cry

It's so sad! Though there are many long-tressed ladies.. I'm in the whiplash of the Bible-belt (excuse the reference) and there is a huge community of Pentacostals here.. the ladies tend to grow their hair as long as it will get...

Grin

I've been mistaken as a Pentacostal a few times, and have been embarrassed as well.. one Pentacostal woman came up to me while at work (I work in a bookstore) and said, "my, but you're a pretty thing.. I'm looking for a girl like you for my son..."

She seemed a little discontented that I wasn't Pentacostal, but she did invite me to her church... Maybe some other time....

funny, the person with the longest hair i ever saw in REAL was male (at a gig in Brussels, don't remember which one). his thick dark blond ponytail went all the way to his knees without any loss of volume (so not even close to his terminal length!).
i encountered at least two other guys with long dark blond hair (about classic length). one was a singer in some death metal band (no i dont like death metal) and the other one was a model in my painting evening class (yes, NUDES!
hihi (i am sorry, it seems so long ago right now) ).
