Got a new haircut

[jimnyc]

And a bit of a new style too! Not drastic, but a big difference as of late. I haven't went for a haircut in like 2 years or so! The cabin in Alaska had that effect on me! LOL So anyway, it was about time, couldn't manage at all without wearing a hat. So off it came.

But I decided on a fade all the way around this time and a prominent part. Also had him neaten the beard and I love when they use the straight razor for the great lines!

And then I went outside afterwards and my head was freezing! I came home, and even inside I was wearing my Steelers scarf to keep my neck warm!

So here's what the mop looked like originally:

Just getting started and me and the barber thought about sending me home like the next picture, I think my wife would have loved it! LOL

Or maybe with just half a head semi-cut?

You can see the fade on the one side here and the nice lines where he edged the beard

Next step? Monday I am making a dental appt. I haven't smiled in like 20+ years as I hate my teeth. 25 years of smoking, 25 years of Dr. Pepper and even longer with the 'ol java, and it's taken its toll on them.

Hell, they still work, but would need a lot of dental work for many. I think I'm just going to get a complete implant system done on the top and be handsome again. :) And depending on the experience, I may return and do the same on the bottom, or perhaps veneers if I qualify.

I wasn't half bad looking when I was like 19 years old or so, but then took up smoking. And how is soda gonna harm my teeth if I brush? And I need coffee to work in the beginning, and again, how could that hurt if I am brushing? Welp, I was all kinds of wrong! And I am SCARED TO DEATH of dentistry work. To have a teeth cleaning scares the living shit out of me. I much rather go in on a planned system, knock me the F out, do the implants and gimme the good stuff for new teeth.

And then I can show myself in public again!! :laugh2:

I like the new look.
But- I like long hair. Shoulder length long. Think Jason Mamoa. (Well, actually I like to think of Jason Mamoa).

Me too, I MUCH prefer my growing up hair, just very long and out of control and I had no care in the world!!

But I must have the thinnest and lightest hair in the world. I got up and showered 2 days ago, and must have put on like an entire bottle of gel to hold my hair back and neat. As usual, an hour later it's hanging down straight on the sides as if no gel was ever in there. It even feels UNsticky as if it were never there. Always been that way and never understood why. Same with hair spray. Hell, once I let my sister experiment on me with the curling iron, and it worked, and then like 60 minutes later it fell down straight. :(

So short is the only manageable way if I want to neaten up, otherwise it hangs down and it's hat time!!

What kind of hippie shit was that?

You'd have gotten dropped off on a gravel bar with a pack of bacon. Good thing you came to your senses!

Next time just have Gunny give you a trim. It'll last for a year.

Went to get a haircut a few years back and waited like 30 minutes for my turn. The guy called me, and just then the door opens and in walks some other guy - and they sit me down and take him first. He was there earlier they said and went to run errands. Well hell, if I had known I didn't have to sit there and stare at other men for 30 minutes, maybe I too would have left and came back. Stupid. So I left pissed off and no haircut. Problem was, I liked them, and the rest of the barbers around here suck! Finally a friend convinced me to go to the Mexican joint by him, said they do great haircuts. The guy spent like 30 minutes on the fade alone making sure it was perfect.

Save that bacon for this year, hopefully my ass is coming back this summer!! Depends on what this dental crap is gonna cost us. :(

But me, some clippers and Jimbob? One never knows :halo9:

If I cut my hair that short it would just stand straight up. I have fine hair but it has a mind of it's own, so it's getting long again.

I hate getting hair cuts. I never seem to be happy with the way they cut it. It's been long more years than it's been short. When it gets long enough to tie it all back, that seems to fit me.

I grew up in the "hippie years" and lots of kids in our school had a little longer hair, but my Dad used to cut my brother and I's hair whether we liked it or not, and SHORT. Then 8 years of the AF getting it cut twice a month, I guess I might have developed a complex against hair cuts, so I've had it long more than not. Haven't cut my hair now for probably 3 years.

Been thinking about this thread... and... well, I have an appointment to get my hair cut now this coming Friday.

To be completely honest, my hair has been bugging the crap otta me lately. The time it takes to wash the mop, the hair in my face, and I don't want to do pony tails anymore.

Going to get a high 'n tight kinda like what you did jimnyc

That would be a HUGE change for someone like yourself that has long hair and always has. Hell, I nearly froze when I left and now I love my scarf. So if you do, bring a scarf! LOL

Yeah in the past 20 years it's been long more than it's been short, and maybe winter isn't the best time to get the hair cut but, I'm gonna do 'er regardless. ;)
