Haircuts

[kybearfuzz]

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 It was the 80's and my hair was ten years out of date.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.

Short hair is good. If it was socially acceptable I would actually shave my head completely in summer. It really helps keep things cool.

If only I could have transplanted some of your shorn locks and grafted them to my mustache... we seem to have about the same hair color.

I love buzzed hair.

I think it looks great.

I suffered from the afro affliction back in the early 90's when everybody else was perfecting their long greasy grunge look.
After one too many "80's Microphone" comments I gave in and started shaving it to less than 1cm. It's great. I'd never go back.

I am a huge fan of that look. Yay :)

I'm glad my hair grows fast as well. I got it cut a couple weeks ago, and it looked as though I had a "faux hawk" because my sides were so short.

Your new do looks good on you.

Looks nice! I do the #2 guard buzz all over my head and have now for about 2 years.

I have the same affliction of fast growing hair and it's thick and wooly, although it's not excessivly curly, it does have waves to it and yes, I did have the big hair thang back in HS. But then that was the early 80's, well much of the 80's was about the big hair thang anyhow. :-)

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!

Just for the hell of it, you should try the bald thing sometime. And if you hate it, it'll grow over in a week or so. ;-)
