Men with long hair

Post Reply New Topic

My hair is only long because I'm too lazy to cut it. Does anybody actually like getting a haircut? Ugh.

I have long hair right now. It's a pain in the ass. I decided to grow out my hair a few years ago to donate to a charity that collects hair for children with cancer. I think my hair is at the right length to chop off and make a wig. I can't wait. Short hair is just more practical. I have to admit I really like long hair on women though.

I just recently let mine grow out. I've had it trimmed so I have a ponytail, and its just at the top of my ears on the sides. When people comment, I just say I'm trying to look like that bloke Thomas Jefferson. So far that hasn't gotten any laughs.

My partial boyfriend has long hair. It's squishy. I like it.

I don't mind men with long hair. I did have a crush on a man with long hair (still do now), not for his hair, but I did like his hair. Then he went and got it cut, I know he's the same beautiful man but I still prefer him with long hair. It suited him.

That would get a laugh out of me and I'm a tough crowd.

I had long hair from age 16-19, it was below my shoulders. I even straightened it every morning. I did not know how to keep it, plus my hair is very fragile. so by the time i was 21 i started cutting it. As of this year i shaved my head (not too short though).

It just did! Maybe what's throwing people off is the lack of bow tie on the ponytail

To add: I'm in the process of cultivating another rat-tail, I had one when I was 13

I have a bit longer then average hair, its grows really fast though and its brown and curly, but i usually wear a cap, and when i wake up in the morning its like there's a bush on my head when it needs to get cut xD

And CrystalStar i don't like getting a haircut either even though my mom does it, i still don't like it, but my hair goes out control quite fast. Do you go to a barber when you get your hair cut or do you do it yourself?

My hair used to be quite short before I decided to grow it 2 years ago now its down to my shoulders and I think it suits me more my family keep moaning at me to get it cut though :/

I love long hair on men especially dark brown or ginger. My boyfriend had hair down to his shoulders, dark brown and curly with grey streaks. It was so sexy. I had a huge sook when he shaved it off and just wasn't attracted to him at all for a while.

For a while I had my hair long not past my shoulders long, but long enough for me to consider it long. It always got in my eye I couldn't do anything with it, plus I would have to constantly wash it. Now I've it short and spiked up front, and I'm happy with it.

Oh dear.

The charity in question wouldn't happen to be Locks of Love, would it?

Quote from Wikipedia:



Those charities are mostly scams. Decent, caring people who want to help cancer patients are scammed into chopping off their hair and giving it away for free to a "charity." The "charity" then proceeds to either:

1. sell the hair for profit or

2. throw it away if it's not good enough quality to use.

If you really, really want to help a child who has cancer, and you want to do it using your hair, I'd advise you to sell your hair to someone who buys hair to make wigs or extensions, and then donate the money to a genuine cancer charity.

It can be seen as pretty offensive or at least annoying in the long hair community when people say "you have such nice hair, you should cut it off and donate it to locks of love". I've had that said to me a couple of times. Yeah right, like I grew my hair long just to chop it off and have short hair and give it away to some kid with cancer. It's not like there is a shortage of human hair. Lots of people get real human hair wigs or hair extensions. They just need the money to buy them or a charity to buy them for them. I want my hair to stay where it belongs on my head.

I've seen people suggest saying as a response "that's a nice (insert article of clothing here). You should donate it to Goodwill".

I actually have cancer now and have to do some chemo along with the radiation and have been told that I won't lose my hair (it's a low dose kind to make the radiation work better). They have kinds where you don't lose your hair now. I'd better not. If my hair fell out I seriously wouldn't leave the house until it grew back which would take years. No wig would be good enough and any wig as thick and long as my real hair would cost a fortune and irritate my head.

Sorry to hear you have cancer, Hanyo. I hope you get better soon.

I agree it's offensive to tell people with long hair that they have some sort of obligation to donate it. Hair does not save any lives, and serves no purpose other than looking nice and keeping us warm. Synthetic wigs are just as good nowadays as wigs made from real hair.

If people are so eager to tell us that we ought to chop off our hair in order to make wigs (which would save no lives) surely they ought to be queing up to donate a kidney or some bone marrow (which would save lives)? But they're not doing that, are they?

There are long waiting lists for bone marrow transplants and kidney transplants, and people are dying. Rude busybodies are eager to tell us that we ought to donate bits of our bodies that would serve no medical purpose, but do not want to donate any bits of their own bodies, that would actually save lives. So the day I chop off my hair and donate it to someone will be the day all those hypocrites start donating body parts of their own.

Thank you. I feel pretty good right now and they think the surgery got it all but the radiation and chemo are to make sure they didn't miss any. Some of my margins were close and all the lymph nodes they tested were negative. I had cervical cancer.
