Should I get my hair cut or let it grow long again?

[WTF cubed]

I'm a guy and the last time my hair was long was in the 80's...

I've started working at home and really have no need to worry about what others think of my hair style appealing to anyone except me...

Except women?

What do you think?

I'd post a poll but I'm a little shy of cash to become a donor at the moment.

1. Hmmmm, first lay off the hair gel......

2. My dear WTF cubed...

The good thing about hair....it will grow after being cut!

So try it out long, and see how you like it!

And if you don't.........then cut it back...

I suspect you'd look really good with it longer...

:hi:

4. Why, thank you Miss Peggy... I tend to lean that way myself...

(Just kidding)

7. I think you ought to grow it

I'm a fairly long-haired guy and I think long hair looks cool on both genders. You don't see nearly enough of it these days. The hardest part is getting through the "awkward stage" but once you've made it through several months of unpredictability you're set. (Although how long it takes will depend, to a degree, on the type of hair you have.) I've been growing mine out for nine months now, but I have a bad habit of getting fed up with it during that transitional period and ending up getting it chopped before it gets to the length I want to have it. I have managed to get it to my shoulders a couple of times, though. Jobs that restrict hair length can be one of the biggest hassles, though, so it's great that you won't have to worry about that. So yeah, I think you might as well go for it.

9. I agree. I'm at the "awkward" stage right now...

My hair is just over my ears and probably a month away from being able to tie it back in a ponytail.

I've recently developed a gray streak that I kind of like and I think will work well with longer hair.

11. I did that at first when I kept hitting the awkward phase

for me it was right when it got to shoulder length. My hair has a veeeeery slight natural ringlet thing going on, but at that length it ended up flaring up and doing the Hanson thing. Which bugged the hell out of me. I finally just promised myself I'd leave it alone until it was long enough to stop doing that.

12. Yeah, I have a similar problem

I've just been letting it all grow from a short haircut, so the hair on the sides and particularly the back is still defying gravity and flipping up more than I wish it would. My hair is thick and kind of unpredictably wavy, so I guess it makes sense it does that. I'm just trying to wait it out until it weighs enough so that it lays down better, like you mentioned.

[DarkTirade]

13. Yeah, mine goes from straight when it's short

to flipping up when it's shoulder length, to falling into perfect big ringlets when it's shoulderblade length, to just being a tiny bit wavy when it's the current length. :) And thick hair runs on both sides of the family. My mom's side all have dark, thick hair, and my dad was part (I think half) native american.

10. I'd say long, but I'm a little biased. :)

Mine's almost down to my waist and I haven't cut it since 1998. I trim it to get rid of split ends, but that's it.

14. Anything except

gelled hair. Hate it on men and can't wait for the time when the porcupine look finally vanishes.
I'm a woman who thinks hair should be touchable. There is something armored about a man with gelled hair. When I see a gelled head I wonder why the guy just doesn't wear a helmet.

15. Let it grow

Long hair is your antennae to the cosmic vibe.
The loss of connection is why skinheads,jarheads and bald guys are so uptight.

16. What hair are you referring to, specifically? Makes a difference in my reccomendation.
