Yep

Not every day

[KeithHernandez]

I have curly hair, but not really in a good way, I guess.  I mean, I like it, but I can really only pull off two (Actually three):  Buzz Cut, Jew Fro and the butch Lesbian style that happens in the middle of those two.  Also, I rip out my hair, so the fro turns into a really curly mullet, which is when I shave it.  It was been a really good schedule recently, with me shaving it around St. Patricks day the last two years.

[V-Adore]

My hair is also a couple months past needs-to-be-cut, and I'm not sure what to do with it. My current plan is to get an appointment at a salon I've been informed of via the Old-Lady Network around here and just tell the stylist to do anything; after all, they filmed Steel Magnolias, the greatest hairdressing movie ever, here. What could go wrong?

[theinevitable]

my plan is similar. "hey man, I have been buzzing it for like 6 months. Now it is getting long, and I just want a trim... make it look OK, please."

[Sub_Topical]

I guess this is the time and place to share that I've had the same haircut since I went to a real barber at age 7. Short all around with just enough left on top to part it over to the left. I'ma about 6 weeks overdue for a trim up and when I go to the clip joint the old dudes will get pissed when I say 'Gimme a Hitler Youth'. So I won't.

But I'll think it real friggin' loud.

This has been the way I've thought of my hair ever since high school when I was hanging out at school the day after a shearing and a buddy rolled up and announced "Damn, sticking with the Hitler Youth look, 'eh!".

Talk about things that follow you...

I go with a haircut that most people call "Marine Whitewalls", that I then let grow out until my head starts looking too enormous.  Usually this means about 4 months, which appears to be the length of time required for a stylist to forget who you are.  Every time I go in, the conversation runs something like:

S: What would you like?
Me: Clipper cut around the edges, with a 0 guard. Finger length across the top with shears.
S: A 0?  Are you sure?  That's very short.
Me: Yes.  I get it every time.
S: Has it been a long time since you got it cut?
Me: About 4 months
S: Really?  Your hair must grow really fast.

It's almost like a Monty python skit to me now, in how often I've heard it.  Less funny though.

My hair is now obscenely long because someone bet me that if I did nothing but wash it over the Christmas break it'd go into dreadlocks. I tried to dissuade them from throwing their money away, but it failed. I could've had it cut since, but it's so much cheaper at home that I just can't bring myself to do it.

Also it makes me feel like a noble lion.

Hell of such as meow.

Edited to actually provide the link, which I went and dug out.  Good times.  Be sure to read the next four or five as well.

Cornelius... dogg... We got maaaaaaaanes...

That was a great arc.

Damn straight, one I'd completely forgotten about too.

[linnea]

Ugh, I think I need to get my thyroid tested again because a lot of my hair is falling out. Well, not like clumps, but I notice that I'm losing a lot of it and it's worrisome.

Also, my hair is getting wretchedly dry, even though I only wash it every other day. I'm using that expensive-ass Ojon deep conditioning twice or three times a week, plus I use a small amount of my blow-dried hair, plus I use a moisturising shampoo (Aveda Sap Moss), the Ultra Hydrating Ojon conditioner, Oscar Blandi Jamine hair serum, Aveda hair wax, Moisturizing Ojon Styling Cream, and Ojon Glossing Mist.

That's a crapload of products. I shouldn't have to be using that much, but I want long hair, dammit!

Hmm. Some of the thyroid symptoms are shown in: dry hair, dry skin, hair falling out, depression. Hmmmmmm.  I just got bloodwork done like 6 months ago, but maybe I should ask the clinic about it again.

I swear, all you need to use is shea butter. The stuff is god's own moisturiser. It's the only thing that has even remotely helped my hair, which is too damn frizzy to behave, and naturally curly. A tiny bit of shea butter and it just makes it like normal (nay, good) hair.
That and it's a brilliant moisturiser for anything else, chapped lips and the like.

Geeez, could I be gayer?

Well you could like dudes.
I can't remember you mentioning that previously but I could be wrong.

Dudes are cool, unless you're thinking that way...
Can't say I was trying the great message board outing.

Now, good hair on the other hand!

[Doc]

Just trying to help, when someone stands up and wants to be gayer than they already are I'm the man with the ideas to make it happen.
