So what do you think, keep the beard or no? I unfortunately don't have a good picture of me without the beard, I looked through every picture of me I have, and almost none were taken sans facehair. I had big chops for awhile but decided I didn't really look that great with em.

I really need a haircut too, once my bangs start to get long enough that I need to sorta part them to keep them out of my eyes, my ever-receding hairline becomes really apparent. Stupid genetics, I'm only 21! I shouldn't be going bald this soon!

I think it all looks neat as is, except the fringe is maybe one or two centimetres long. Get it cut up sort of raggedy to go with the scruffy beard stylee.

It's a good thing I wasn't on the ball last week, otherwise you'd have had no end of beard jokes. If you were fatter, you could be a dwarf! By the way, Gandalf, did I ever thank you for paying for everything? The way you could just conjure up cash was quite impressive.
Say, while you were in Yorkshire, who was feeding your ox?

Hollow, you shouldn't try to pretend your hairline isn't where it actually is. Guys can wear their hairlines with pride and look quite attractive doing it. That said, I wouldn't change a thing. Maybe a shot from the front for me to be certain?

Has anyone here tried any color experiments on long thick curly hair? I want to add some color here and there but I just don't know if it would work, given my hair type. Fringe, highlights, anything. Has anyone tried any of these things and been able to pull it off? This is a general question, and if the answer is somewhere in this thread, I'm sorry for not reading through all of it before posting.

I am currently rocking my natural curl, but I have never in my life dyed it, or even highlighted it. I have thought it would be kinda cool to throw some blue streaks in a little underneath, but my current job doesn't allow any unnatural hair colors, so that wouldn not fly.

Going bald young is what it's all about. You learn who is a true friend and who likes you just for your hair. I would hate to have that happen later in life. Unfortunately, once you or others around you start to easily notice that you are going bald its time to go with the short hair cut. An inch or two is usually ok to begin, then shorten the length as your hairline continues its inexorable march to the back of your head.

I started to notice hair loss at about 18 and had to give up longer styles about five years later. It sucks but don't do anything drastic that would make you look ridiculous. Plenty of guys look good going bald and I have even met a few women you prefer bald men. So don't give up hope.

Facialy hair is always great. I got the winter beard in full effect.

Slick · « **Reply #406 on:** 09 Jan 2008, 13:50 »

It is both. I really can't grow enough hair for it to be worth growing in, so I just keep it shaved. It's just ridiculously thin on top, which is a shame, because I've got an absolutely killer widow's peak.

When I get my hair cut the stylist usually has to thin it out because my hair is very thick.

ledhendrix · « **Reply #409 on:** 09 Jan 2008, 14:54 »

I have the same thing. When i get my hair cut, it normally gets commented that my hair is some of the thickest they've ever seen.

kelseyleigh · « **Reply #410 on:** 09 Jan 2008, 15:15 »

Thick hair rocks, but it can border on ridiculous. I've had people hide cards and pens and such small objects in my hair without me even feeling them.

anyways, any more suggestions?

Eris · « **Reply #411 on:** 09 Jan 2008, 15:58 »

I have! My hair is naturally a boring ashy brown, and has gone to dark purple with bright red bits through it on more than one occasion. I had to go to the hairdressers and spend an inordinate amount of money to do it, but I ended up looking like this:

rather than this:

I've also had my hair more red overall than that picture, but I have an awful lot of photos of my in my photobucket and can't seem to find the one I am looking for. Oh well. Anyway, I generally get my hair thinned, because it is ridiculously thick. That is about the only way it can be even remotely manageable, especially since I got it cut short and it decided to go really curly. The only problem I have is it goes frizzy really easily, and I have yet to master how to overcome that. Though I thoroughly recommend getting colours in your hair, if you can get away with it, because it is awesome!

kelseyleigh · « **Reply #412 on:** 09 Jan 2008, 16:43 »

I've got this great shampoo and conditioner called DevaCurl, which I'm pretty sure you can get in salons. The stuff seriously calmed my hair down - it is straighter and far less frizzy and poofy.

But dying the bits works? I just have a lot of layers and thought that they would get hidden. I didn't know it was feasable! Thanks! Maybe now I'll look more into what I want to end up doing with my hair.

Spinless · « **Reply #413 on:** 09 Jan 2008, 18:20 »

I just took this for gabbly, I may as well post it here!

I switched my colour and my product. It's now black or blue, depending on the lighting, and I'm using a really strong and waterproof product. No, really, it takes 15 minutes of boiling water to wash it out.

Ballard · « **Reply #414 on:** 09 Jan 2008, 18:23 »

Once again, Darryl,

I spy a guitar in the corner. Make? Model?

Spinless · « **Reply #415 on:** 09 Jan 2008, 18:39 »

That isn't a guitar. It's a robot made of junk.
(I don't know, it's my bowl-shaped electro-acoustic)

David_Dovey · « **Reply #416 on:** 09 Jan 2008, 18:58 »

Hey, I have that exact same lamp! Ikea ftw.

Lookin good, QC.

Darryl, i love blue/black, but it always fades really quickly (at least in my experience).

Spinless · « **Reply #417 on:** 09 Jan 2008, 19:07 »

it does, it turns black after maybe a week. But black looks good on me.
Then it turns gray, which curiously, looks great on me.

Ballard · « **Reply #418 on:** 09 Jan 2008, 19:11 »

I was about to say, actually. Faded blue/black/grey sounds even cooler than dark blue/black.

Verergoca · « **Reply #419 on:** 10 Jan 2008, 05:25 »

Well, i managed to keep the beard untill today. Here is how it looked.

I got tired of the scratchyness and all, and shaved it all off again. Funny anecdote: trimmer + moustachehairs + breathing through your nose = moustachehairs in nose...

Id take pictures of the not-beard-anymore, but a). you all have seen that already, and b). my skin is all red and agitated now. So, meh

calenlass · « **Reply #420 on:** 10 Jan 2008, 16:21 »

YOU MUST POST BEFORE/AFTER SHOTS GODDAMMIT.

Also I can't believe you didn't do anything mid-shaving, like try a handlebar or pedostache or something silly.

Ballard · « **Reply #421 on:** 10 Jan 2008, 16:22 »

How the fuck do you see a handlebar moustache working on that weak ass thing?

calenlass · « **Reply #422 on:** 10 Jan 2008, 16:32 »

I happen to think Vergy looks rather dashing with his fuzzy face. Also I do not know! I was just thinking of funny shapes to shave it into before shaving it all off.

Boro_Bandito · « **Reply #423 on:** 10 Jan 2008, 18:00 »

has anyone ever told you that you look like Cary Elwes with more eyebrow? You could have gone for a Wesley/Dread Pirate Roberts look.

Also, I can't find my camera at the moment, but when I do I'm going to need advice because I've done something horribly wrong to the top of the head and I need it fixed ASAP.

Verergoca · « **Reply #424 on:** 10 Jan 2008, 18:15 »

As you can see, its way way way way way way way too short. I guess the upside is that I can grow into it, but how?

Ladybug · « **Reply #429 on:** 10 Jan 2008, 22:11 »

I kinda like it, actually.

Ballard · « **Reply #430 on:** 10 Jan 2008, 22:13 »

Actually I like it a LOT.

Spinless · « **Reply #431 on:** 10 Jan 2008, 22:14 »

Me too. I think it's an improvement.

Is mild-to-heavy panic your default expression?

Boro_Bandito · « **Reply #433 on:** 10 Jan 2008, 22:44 »

I may/may not have some mild problems with Public Anxiety Disorder and/or Chronic Depression, so I'm not denying that it might not be.

I agree, it looks great.

(Grammarz is another fellow marylander)
The short really isn't bad, it'll calm down in a week or so from the just-cut-spikeyness and you'll probably like it a bit more then:)
Also, I absolutely love that little devil-fish-mask thing on your kitchen wall! Where on earth is that from?

Lines · « **Reply #438 on:** 11 Jan 2008, 07:48 »

I say it's an improvement. It'll look a little better when it grows out a bit, but that'll come in time!

I need a haircut. One of my Christmas gifts was a gift certificate to the place where I get it cut, but I don't know if I want to keep it where it is or get it cut shorter again. The most current pictures I have are this and this, but my bangs are an inch longer than they are in that second pic. I'll take a better one when I'm at home with my camera, but yeah, I need to get it cut. Soon.

Linds, I like the way your bangs are in the second pic. It looks pretty. I'd keep them like that, unless, of course, they bug you.

Lines · « **Reply #441 on:** 11 Jan 2008, 08:43 »

I do too, but they've been like that for...a few years now, or at least variations that are similar. Even if I do get my hair shorter, which I have and kind of miss, they'd still probably be about that length.

Oh, its from Peru. One of my mom's friends gave it to me before I moved away from Texas because we very closely akin as far as taste in art and keeping live reptiles. I believe she got it from a famous guy of some kind down there, she's got about 50 more around that size around her house, and she has about 200 mini-tiny devil masks of varying shapes absolutely covering one door frame as well. It is the coolest thing ever.

Eh, this hair is.... Well, I'm just so used to it long....

jodizzle · « **Reply #444 on:** 12 Jan 2008, 18:21 »

Okay guys, I have now completed my hair transformation. I kind of miss my pink already, turns out it was the source of me being able to take photos in which I don't always look completely retarded. Oh wells.

(look guys I went outside)

At least now I won't get in trouble (the area manager told me to change the colour yesterday, luckily for him I was already going to), and random strangers will stop making really stupid comments to me about my hair. For example: do you wake yourself up at midnight with that hair (huh?) OR, my personal favourite: Did you cut yourself on your head? What? Do you think I bleed pink? WHAT??

kelseyleigh · « **Reply #445 on:** 12 Jan 2008, 18:37 »

Who wants to get creative and give me suggestions as to what to do with my hair? I'm in dire need of a haircut (as should be obvious) but I kind of want to shake things up, as long as the new style require the most minimal effort to keep up. Any suggestions? I'll take anything.

I don't normally look this stoned, but from the front:

mooface · « **Reply #446 on:** 12 Jan 2008, 18:48 »

i don't really have any advice for you (i have ridiculously straight hair and do not have any experience with trying to work with curliness), but i just really wanted to tell you that you have amazing hair.

I is Grammar · « **Reply #447 on:** 12 Jan 2008, 19:22 »

I think just getting it trimmed (enough to even out the bottom) should be enough. Your hair is beautiful and I don't think it needs anything else.

calenlass · « **Reply #448 on:** 12 Jan 2008, 22:13 »

Get curly shampoos and conditioners. I think between RGC and myself, we have shown that long-ish and curly can be doable and cute.

Boro_Bandito · « **Reply #449 on:** 12 Jan 2008, 22:26 »

Long hair suits you very well.

Now will you please put that Skippy to good use and make a sandwich for the one who gave you a compliment. Thank you
