Haircuts

My hair grows at a very fast rate. In some ways, it's a good thing, for example, when the person who cut my hair was one of those folks who graduated from cosmetology school with a D average. I have had a few of those in the past. In some ways, it's not so great. In high school, when every other kid was growing the mullet, I was ending up with an afro. It was the 80's and my hair was ten years out of date. My hair doesn't grow long as much as it grows thick with odd curls. Mom always thought it was cute, but she was hardly unbiased.

After work, I was tired of trying to control the mop and went to get it cut. I felt like I was sheered like sheep, but it is what I asked for. It is awfully short, but I have to admit, I like the low upkeep.. and I can comb it. Still, like the "Rose is Rose" cartoon above, it does seem to make one's head look bigger.

My hair is the same way....fast growing and thick. And my hair doesn't grow down so much as out. Back in the early/mid 90's I was going for the businessman's pony tail.....it just wasn't happening...my hair was expanding to the sides but not down.....and a total pain in the ass to manage.

For a long time now I get a very very very short cut. I have my barber use a #1 on the sides and back and a 3/8s on the top.

I can make a bottle of Suave shampoo (supersized) last about 6 months or so!

I have to admit, it was nice hopping out of bed this morning and having very little to do with the do! :)

uh huh....I call it No Care Haircare. Just a little shampoo in the shower and then a quick towel and you are done for the day with it!

My own brief attempts at longish hair ended very badly, since somewhere along the way there was always what I refer to as the Bad Richard Carpenter look.

So I've given that up forever! Bald or buzzed seems to suit me, though sometimes I experiment with letting it grow on the top, with mixed results. :-)
