Well after a decade plus of having it I've said goodbye to my long hair

[Arcanetrance]

This is gonna take some getting used to

[OriginalGeek]

1. I hated the 2 years I took off from long hair

Never cutting it again.

As far as I know.


It will most likely fall out before I cut it again.


But if it makes you happy and/or gets you what you want then more power to ya!

2. Trying to go into business as a personal chef here in South Florida so I'm trying to make an attempt

To give the illusion of being a professional Lol.

3. lol yeah, that;s why I did it too

Not Cheffing but for work. Turned out I hated the jobs I could get with short hair so I said fuck it and grew it back out. Been happy for almost 14 years it my current job but they are pretty lenient in that respect. Hey, maybe you'll get hooked up with some rock star and can do whatever you want.

4. Yeah, I did it for money, too.

Not a whole lot of money, mind you. But trading in the forklift for a desk was totally worth it.

5. I usually get shorter hair for summer

But I grow it out the rest of the year.

7. I do just the opposite.

I cut it shorter on Labor Day weekend. By the time summer and the heat rolls around, it's plenty long enough to put it in a ponytail and keep the back of my neck free.

6. The worst part is when you

go to push it back out of your face just out of habit and your hand encounters no resistance at all and there's a brief "Fuck! My hair fell out!" panic before you remember that you did it to yourself.

The worst part of growing it back is when it's long enough to get in your eyes but too short to actually pull back to keep it out of them. I hated that part every time I ever did it.

I tend to cut mine in cycles. Usually I'll either accidentally set it on fire or get it hung in something (On one particularly memorable occasion, a running chain saw) and have it all chopped off because I'm sick of dealing with it. Then immediately miss it.

8. it'll be weird the first few times you wash it

it always used to throw me off.

9. I grew mine for the entire time that creature was in the White House

cut it in 2009 and have been growing it back ever since. Two haircuts in 14 years is enough for me.

12. wow--night and day

i've always liked the long hair look on guys
but the short hair really does make you look more professional. nice job. good luck cooking up a storm.
(you did say chef, right?)

[Arcanetrance]

13. Yep hoping to make the transition into personal chef

There's more money to be made as a personal chef but the other side of it is there's a little less freedom with appearance

[orleans]

14. i'd go with the money for now n/t
