Thanks brainfrey. Love the name, by the way. I look forward to mastering the braid. My ex-girlfriend used to braid my hair each time we went for a ride. She spoiled me in that way.

And, welcome to Longlocks.

Yep, I cut my hair. It is short...REAL short.

My new girlfriend and I have witnessed the looks (from women) that I get with shorter hair. The funny thing is, she asked if I'd consider going shorter...so, in effect, she helped create this monster! Hair length is cyclical for me, however. It is not inconceivable that the long hair will return one day.

Until then, hairapparent is signing off. I'm grateful for the advice I've received here. Because of the LongLocks membership, I now know how to better care for my hair. When I do grow it long again, it will definitely have a healthier, um...head start.

Thanks & Best Wishes,
Steve (hairapparent)

Glad to have had the chance to get to know you.  And I'm glad you realize that things you learned when dealing with your long hair can be applied to your short hair.  You will have the greatest looking short hair 'cuz it will be healthy.  Wink

Cry Damn... you ladies are so nice.

The short look is different, but not totally foreign to me. My wacko hair, however, now requires the use of gel or pomade to keep it in line, of which I've never really been a fan.

I had my hair cut a couple days before Christmas, and no one has trimmed it yet. It's already grazing my ears! Grin Maybe I'm just starting over...

I've been kicking around the idea of getting my driver's license picture retaken; not so much because of the hair length difference, rather, the look in my eyes is, frankly, kind of serial killer scary. And yet, I get a kick out of the reactions from customer service people, bank tellers, bouncers, etc. Usually, they're all polite and smiley...then if they ask for my ID, whoa! The looks on their faces are priceless. My thing is, I want people to see that the "normal," moderately attractive, seemingly friendly guy standing in front of them is the same dude that used to look world's away different. Am i doing anything to alter perceptions? Maybe. Nevertheless, it amuses me, so I think the license stays as is. The hair? Stay tuned.

You cut your hair?!   Shocked  *gasp* 
Oh well, no biggie.   Smiley  As the other ladies said, you're very welcome to stay.  We don't discriminate on those who are hair-length challenged.   Grin  Take it easy!

It has been six months since lopping off my locks. The short look has been fine, but I really miss longer hair. I'm on my way back; hair length is currently approximately 4.5 inches. About another 6 or 8 months, and my previous length should be in sight. For now, I'm dealing with the awkward length phase. On the plus side, thanks to lessons learned from the generous suggestions offered here...it'll be healthier than ever! Thought I'd drop by to say, hello. I haven't forgotten you.

12/06 ...... 6/07

Take care,
Steve

Hey, Steve, what a nice suprise to see you again!  Looks to me like you've lost a few pounds to boot.  I love your goatee, very handsome.  Congrats on returning to your long hair "roots".

Thanks on all counts, Sakina. Weight loss or more flattering camera angle?  Wink

Oh, and I forgot to mention, my youngest (Tanya) begins training as a hairstylist, in August. Finally, someone who will only trim what I've requested. Undecided

Thanks, Curlgirl. I feel sorta out of place, at the moment...no real length to report. But it'll be back, and as always, it’s good to hear from you ladies. Smiley
