beowabbitSo my hair is down to my shoulders — finally out of that clumsy sticking-out-in-all-directions stage. It was a long time getting here, but I’m finally here.
So, of course, I’m considering chopping it all off again.
This is partly because of the summer heat, and partly because it would just be easier and quicker to manage, and partly because I’m missing the way it felt. Of course, I started growing it out again because I missed the way it looked long. And as![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
plumtreeblossom pointed out, I’ve got a few strands of grey coming in, and that will look even more awesome with long hair than with short. So I’m not sure. And of course, the thing to do when you have a decision to make is to post a poll, so you can ignore the advice of all your friends. Therefore:

On the one hand, I adore your long hair, love to touch it and enjoy it's beautiful colors in the sun. You have exceptionally exquisite hair that I love.
On the other hand, I want you to be comfortable. I do like longish buzzes (half-inch or so), and you looked good in that, especially in combination with the chin goatee. The only thing I would vote a pleading NO to would be shaved completely bald. But buzz cuts I'm okay with.
Here's something to consider, and it's something I learned from my brother when he was a hair replacement specialist. Only 1 in 10 American males don't experience hair loss/balding by middle age. This is due partly to genetics, partly to health and hormonal imbalances. At nearly 42, it's safe to say that you are in that very fortunate group who gets to keep your hair. Jim (my brother) worked with men who would literally have given their left testicle to have a full head of hair. What they had to settle for instead was hair weaves, implants, or tape-on hair pieces. You don't have that problem. I'll love you whatever you choose to do with your hair, but I hope that whatever that choice is, you leave enough so that those of us who are fans of your hair still have some of it to enjoy. :-)
*kisses you*
