Poll: What Should I Do With My Hair?
There is a poll at the bottom of this post. Please vote!
So I was driving around a few weeks ago when I realized that I’m bored with my hair. I’ve essentially had the same curvy/wavy style for over six years. Sometimes it was longer, and sometimes it was shorter, but basically always the same. I’m the kind of guy who gets comfortable with something, and the next thing you know, it’s the end of 2007 and you can’t find your car keys as often as you used to.
The last time I had a major hair change was 6.5 years ago, my freshman year of college. I buzzed my head, and then let it grow back out. The picture is to the right, click on it for the full-size. Nice socks and sandals too.
My hair currently looks something like the picture to the left, which is a pic with my brother’s friend Steve while I was up in Portland (yes, I’m intoxicated there).
I couldn’t find too many good pics with long hair. I essentially grow a fro and need a ton of pomade or gel to make it manageable. One slightly longer-haired pic below with yet another Steve, this one from Austin. Also intoxicated.
I’ve placed a poll at the bottom of this post. What should I do with my hair?
- Buzz it.
Pros:
Something different, might look interesting with my facial hair (which is being kept), less hassle, I just want to.
Cons:
My nose is huge, only black guys look good with short/no hair, and Mom doesn’t want me to do it (this could also be a pro, since I never liked authority telling me what to do anyway). I’m also starting to thin a bit, so maybe I shouldn’t waste any glory years with no hair because it won’t be here forever. - Keep it
Pros:
I can’t really complain about how good life has been these past 6.5 years. Why change?
Cons:
*Yawn* - Grow it longer
Pros:
See above notes about balding situation. Girls like my hair long.
Cons:
It’ll be an afro. Hair around my ears drives me nuts. And there’s plenty of chumps in California with too much hair on their heads and I’d rather not be another one of them. Sorry Jordan!
Obviously, my vote is to buzz it. But I want you to vote and I’ll go with whatever wins by Wednesday night at midnight. Please leave comments, and no, I’m not currently going to dye it or bleach it due to working in the corporate world.

Gotta grow it out, especially if you are thinning. Trust me, you’ll regret it if you waste these last few precious years with those strapping young follicles. All too soon you’ll have no other option than buzzing it.

Grow it out and sport the sopranos style, greasy, spaghetti bending, dego wop look. I hope no one in your “family” has my legs broken for that.

How can you make fun of our blog. Why are you wasting my time with this crap?

Girls like something to grab on to ;). Especially if it’s thick and curly. It makes it much more fun :-D. DON’T buzz it! I like the 3rd pic - maybe a bit longer.

Grow it longer-if you get annoyed-go back to the “keep it the same” length. The buzz reminds me of swim championships-all the guys w/georgeous hair shaved their heads and it was very disappointing!!!!

Have you considered a mohawk that can be combed down to look reasonable while slaving in the corporate salt mines that you can spike up for the ladies after hours?
At the very least, grow it out and live it up.

GROW THAT ISH OUT!!!! how can you get a sweet ass mullet with short hair! you have the power - and if its really that curly when long, you can always go the A.C. Slater/Mullet route!
as opposed to what lowery said… thanks for wasting my time with this (somebody is gettin billed for this time! haha)

My vote is for you to resume wearing socks/sandals.

Do not shave your head its not a good look. I think you should try straightening your hair and spike it.

Shave your head and donate your hair to charity. There are lots of unfortunate people out there in need of a merkin.
