I can’t decide whether I want my hair long or short,
โA privileged position, I know,
But also I can’t decide which side of myself I most relate toโ
The intense, determined, go-getting side,
Who likes things streamlined for efficiency,
Likes to keep moving,
Likes to count press-ups, the peculiar romance and exhilaration of living to a regiment,
And the calmer, more sensitive side,
Who enjoys feeling like a hippie,
Loves the extra freedom for expression in longer hair,
The softer looks and warmth it gives off;
The truth is I am both at the same time,
Always have been,
Connected with disparate and apparently-exclusive social groups,
Each giving me the opportunity to express the different sides;
It’s rare that I can express all of myself to any single person,
And it’s rare that I ever feel happy with just one style or another ๐;
Hence the endless questioning, and changingโ
But I value each equally, in its own right;
So, the answer isโ
To hell with what anybody (even myself) says,
For whichever I choose there are always people whom question it similarlyโ
Oh, but longer hair suits you better,
Oh but shorter hair does!
I can understand the confusion,
But either option is correct,
That’s the answer.
Until I go bald ๐.


This also explains the range of my interests, musical tastes.

shaved underneath and long and flowing above? ๐ค

Hahaha! It’s an idea :D. The thing is I avoid pretentious hairdressers and I love the honesty, simplicity and efficiency of Turkish barbers. I’m craving that feeling of sharpness I always got from them. They are so good at the style they do! And it’s so cheap. The one I was going to even used a flame to singe away loose hairs at the end ๐.
I think the middle-ground is just to go back to short hair for 6 months/a year at a time, then randomly grow it long for a year then back to short, lol.

To be fair I should just keep going to Rocky Balboa lengths. He also demonstrates that both styles can look great.

True! But you also have competent hairdressers, though you spend a fortune on it. I have no idea where I’d go to get my hair cut for a longer style. But I do know it would cost a stupid amount and look shit.
However women also look great with short hair, in my opinion! In fact I prefer it because it’s less common, haha.

the short cut looks good on faces of a certain shape, or it must be done by a scissors wizard ๐

I agree. Short looks very good on me, I can’t deny. I think if you can do short, you can usually do either? With longer hair though you can have real bad hair days, which just make you doubt the whole thing when short would be so easy. I’m also getting very hot with all this hair ๐ .

Exactly, haha, yeah, that’s where the potential for sentimentality lies :D. Nevertheless, that is quite a nice thing. I’ve decided to keep it long and I need to try having it cut at a good hair dresserโ I’ve found a great and affordable one here, so I know where to go now. At the very least I need to see how it is with a proper hair cutโ I’ve never had one with long hair before (other than going to a barber). I’m blessed with some good hair characteristics which are good for long hairโ thick, non-greasy and wavy.
