A relationship longer than my marriage.

[elfs]

I've had my hair long-- halfway down my back long-- for twenty years. It's a pain in the neck to wash and dry and care for, but I've always had it this way and I've kinda liked it. But after watching a few episodes of Queer Eye and commenting that every time Kyan gets his way and cuts it all off it looks good. About the only one he left long was Tom C.'s, and even that went from halfway down the back to shoulder-length. So after watching an episode, Omaha said that if I wanted to cut it short, she would back me on it.

I'm seriously thinking about it. I doubt I'd be willing to go through with it. Too many other people like it the way it is. It's just that as I get older it seems to be ratty and, well, unprofessional-looking.

So, since I'm incompetent and unwilling to read the "how to do a poll" thingy, I'm just gonna ask: what do you think it would be like without all that hair following me around?

Not even the most recent guy, of the lawyer with the hairpiece?

They convienced him to ditch the wig, and then buzz his 3 inch long "fringe".

No I didn't see that one. However, it doesn't sound like someone with loooonng hair getting it chopped off. When I said chopped off, I meant very long hair getting cut very short.

I'm not necessarily partial to long hair though, it depends on the guy. I have one friend who's bald and looks best that way. My cousin shaves his head entirely, looks great. Another friend has almost a monk's tonsure with shoulder length hair and that looks good on him. And yet another has just enough for a short pony tail, he wouldn't look as good with it longer or shorter.

I think Elf would look good with it the length it is or a little shorter, but at least keep it longer than shoulder length. Of course it's what he thinks is best. At least with such long hair you can experiment with pinning it up just so to see what it would look like shorter. Whatever he decided is fine with me, my opinion hardly matters for him, I just happen to think he looks pretty sexy with long hair.
