Getting older, hair getting longer

[jimnyc]

I had long hair in my teens but then got it chopped when I got married, and it's mostly been short since. I started getting sorta buzz cuts, with a #1 on the side fading into #2 on the top, and a little something left up front to put up with some gel. Kinda like a flat top, but not flat.

Last time I went to the barber he pissed me off and I walked out. The place I went to that day sucked! So I haven't been elsewhere since for like a year now! But since I wear a hat so often, and go out so little, I can get away with tiny trims by myself to keep away from the eyes and what not. Then just brush or comb it back and plop on a hat!

The shaving doesn't work, too lazy. The gray is hitting some hairs here and there on the top, but knock on wood, at last got all my hair and still very thick. And the beard, which I never really let get past this point now, is getting more and more gray with each shave.

And that brown spot just to the left of my left eye. If you remember, I thought something bit me years back. Kinda had a little pimple like thing that turned into something like you see above, then this. It's like a birth mark now, no texture to it or anything like that. Don't know what the F happened. I still blame one of those dirty ass little spiders!!

So for me this is long hair! Been nearly 30 years since I let it grow this long. And I actually had it like 12 inches longer!

The older we all get, the thinner the hair gets where it's supposed to be, and hair grows now, where it never grew before. Enjoy it. Let it grow, and when you brush, or comb...watch how many decide 'It's time to fall out".

When I had my bout with cancer...I went through the 24/7 ball cap as patches kept getting more shiny, and looked like a freshly cut baseball stadium Outfield, only without the stripes.

You look fine. The only one to please, other than your Lady, is YOU. Either you want it, or you don't.
Good luck wit dat!

Keep growing it, Jim. Long hair is sexy, and your wife will probably like to see it again.

>>>IMO<<< ...a nice...close clean shave...and a shaved head makes one feel better. Everything is tight...nothing loose ...nothing scratchy ....very clean and very In nowadays...

"If you are a guy and are beginning to lose hair or your hair-line is receding then it is the right time to shave your head. The days of guys having comb-overs or hair-pieces are over. It is now very cool to be bald.

A guy who shaves his head is a guy who is confident & unafraid of others reactions. So now guys, it is time to get that hair cut and have your head shaved smooth"

You misread my friend. I am not losing any hair, yet. A overabundance if anything as I'm used to having shorter hair as I got older. The beard growth shows my age as too much gray comes with it. I think I lose a couple of years when shaven properly and cleaned up. I'm only shaven here. Too lazy to do much with unmanageable hair. It ends up falling like this no matter what I put on or in it, so usually comes out the hat! But I got me a few years left before the receding starts. If at all! My Dad is 84 and still a full head of hair as he always had!

Did someone say long hair? ...

This was about 12 years ago right after I got back from Reno, and just had about 8" total hacked off to get rid of split ends and even it up. It's getting kinda long again. I grow it then cut it all off to donate it to "Locks Of Love" for wigs for cancer patients.
