Well, I just shaved my goatee. My chin feels funny now :cool: (and various parts of my face are bleeding :()
Anyways, the other reason I keep my hair short, especially during the summer, is so less heat gets stuck near my head. I've got plenty of other natural insulation, thank you.

[tsk tsk tsk] lies and propoganda :D they accept it as long as it's not damaged.
Okay, I went straight to the source, Locks of Love (I'll even attach a screen grab for those too lazy to browse over there) to figure out what is and isn't accepted.

The issue w/ me is that 'colored' or 'dyed' hair almost always means bleached as well because my natural color is so darn dark, it's the only way color ever shows. :( A la requirement listed:
5. Hair may be colored or permed, but not bleached or chemically damaged (if unsure, ask your stylist).

Okay, and perhaps the only man I have yet to see who I think can pull off long hair linky.

Ah yes, and as for the mysterious eyebrows-- it's quite popular for women to even shave it all off and tattoo eyebrows back in. :p

I am no longer allowed to grow my hair out.

In college I had shoulder length hair that was almost always pony tailed, except for a few drunken moments when headbanging was required or seemed like a good idea at the time....

My wife has vowed to shave my head in my sleep if I even think of attempting to grow my hair out. She lets me keep my goatee though since it makes me look older than her.
 
I used to have long wavy/curly in highschool, but then college hit and everyone was doing it, so I stopped to be the different (as I often hate the norm) and then I realized that my hair was thinning and it was too depressing so I turned to the buzzer/blade and shaved it off. It has been like that for some time (pics thread), but now it's coming out a little bit. I decided to say a big 'f*** you world* and grow out my thinned/balded head of hair because I can! and I'll be damned if you try to stop me! :rolleyes:

Due to the mass thinning, it won't be 'long', but it will have some hair instead of the consta-short of the buzzer/blade.

i'm trying to grow mine out some (i always shave it), but my sister is getting married in a couple of weeks, and i'm sure she'll make me cut it. but i guess i can let it grow from there though

grow the hair out, then get it cut and donate to the a cnacer foundation so that they can make wigs out of it

I would donate all of my clippings to research if I could, even if I had to pay small fees, but they often have length requirements that I simply cannot live up to :(

My son got his head shaved in sympathy when I lost my hair to chemo. Then he grew his out and donated it to Locks of Love.

Awesome story. I would do that in a heartbeat for my father too, or anyone that I knew that was struggling with cancer/chemo/disease of any kind. Keep it nice and shaved and also spread the word about it, try to raise money for research and stuff.

It's kind of sad that it takes a personal contact to make something like that happen. Thanks for the uplifting story though, glad you can still count on your family for support like that :)

Me too. Splitting hairs seems to be en vogue, lately. :p

Me 3. I just asked a simple question. I guess you guys like talkin about hair. Well, my hair is "fro'ing" out, I guess, I got asian hair (yes I'm asian). It just sticks out. I dont know how to style it anymore. :confused: Goin' out this weekend is goin to be tricky.

Heh, it does that after I shower. But after it dries it just looks bad, like a puff of hair.
 
Well I had long hair like Johnny Depp (Secret Window, without the color, mines dark brown) then got it cut. I had very long hair (past shoulders) when I worked in a salon for a few years but it became a pain. So it would seem that I, nor any of my friends have any photos of this time period as all I have now is pictures of me with short hair :cool: I really can't let it grow since it hits a wavey phase then just works my nerve way to much.
 
I just printed out the form to send my hair to Locks of Love! :)

I'll be sending my old ponytail this weekend.

/Mmmm KARMA!
//Maybe I'll win another Computer?
///If I do, I'm selling so I can go to Vienna
////but we know that won't happen
/////*cough* *points to sig* :p

Google has a cloning service now?

SWEET!

You do realize that you'd have to put up with a cloned KT as it grows up. (they DO start as babies. Like.. googoo gaagaa. We don't have a insta-clone gun... YET)
And it wouldn't be as awesome as I am, because I have all the awesome that is allotted to all the KTs in the world.

it's all mine

/Mmm, instant-cloning gun
