But if I dont cut it... it will grow?

__________________

It'd grow even if you did cut it goddamit

Your hair grows from your head not from the ends. The ends are more exposed to environment so they are more damaged than the roots. So if you condition the ends to protect them it will keep the cuticle or outer layer of the hair smoother and less apt to split. This makes your hair stronger and less apt to break. Think of a rope frayed at the end. It's stronger and more pleasant in appearance at the end that's smooth than at the end that's all fuzzed out and frizzy. The trims you get periodically can trim the splitends off. That's all it does. I've done my own for a long time now. Your hair also grows faster at certain times of the year. Your diet can also effect it's health and sometimes how much you lose naturally, too. I worked with a lady who was a crackhead and hers finally started falling out by the handfuls. It was awful. She had bald spots.

My hair is crazy at the ends, it's naturally super straight and black, but I dyed it some time ago, and so now I have like crazy split ends.

What color did you dye it and with what?

__________________

it will grow but will eventually stop growing coz then your hair would hav loads of split ends.......then you would need to get them cut to remove the splits

__________________

WAIT!

So you mean... I just let it grow??

But then how do I get a haircut?

__________________

This was like over a year ago, but like I dye it brownish, then coupla months later, I died it black to match my natural color, then coupla months later, the black dye started to like "come off", and so now half of my hair is like natural black, and the other half is like brownish again, and yada yada yada yada ....

haha, I just found something out; has any of you actually stopped combing or showering to take a close look at the hair that comes out? Well, I've always gotten stressed about breaking hair in half or so, but I've found out that most of the hair that comes out of my head still have the root attached. Whether that's a good or bad thing, now I don't have to worry that I'll lose my hair due to split ends..........I'm just going bald early--my widows peak is getting bigger..

I loose a good fistfull every day, well not a fistful, but a decent amount. And yes, most of them have the white root bit still atached. What is your point?

initially i used to think that it was dandruff lol

I'm thinking of going short again....perhaps shoulder length.
It's so damn hot.
Still not sure.

Trimming split ends has nothing to do with the overall length ones hair will get.
Every person has an already set limit to how long their hair will grow....and since we're all diff there is little to do other than simply not cut it.
Sure...trimming the frayed ends (of sanity) will make it look neater....but wont effect the obtainable length.

Gee, I thought my point was quite obvious.

__________________

what i do is just keep it out of my face untill it gets longer so u can do what ever the fuck u want with it

The color probably stripped something from your hair that's in the core of it. I'm assuming the brownish is on the longer ends. Just keep trimming that til it's gone.

You guys that are losing the root of your hair. Are you using your nails on your hair or scrubbing the heck out of it? That's not necessary if you are. Mine was frizz city from doing that. Now I just squeeze the shampoo in one direction down my hair. Roots to ends from the palm of my hands. It could be your diet that's doing it, too. A few is normal. A handful isn't.

I scrub and scratch vigorously up to the point of suds. Actually, heh, I haven't lost much hair in the past 2 days straight, which is awesome.

__________________

i thonk that means u have some dandruff

__________________

Uhh, so yeah...

My hair currently looks kind of feminine, with the whole fringe and all, so should I get it cut so that it's all at one equal length?

Thank you for using the search button

I've been maintaining the same neck length for a while now...I've recently decided to go out with it again. \m/

Depends how bad. My hair, only my bangs were not as long.

Hey, I know as a bearer of butt length hair I'm appreciative of any tips that can make it easier to manage.

Cut it?

As a matter of fact my mom just called from her beautician's (sp.) to ask who the comedian was that used to put a rubber glove on his head and blow it up and I asked her if her beautician ever cut hair for Locks of Love. She does so if and when I decide to cut it I'll let her. She's a really cool lady. I've got about 2 feet I can donate.




Howie Mandel for anyone who was curious about the comedian. I knew it right away.

What is with metalgays and long hair, it's for girls. You realise when you get into a fight one day and the guy grabs your hair and knees you in the face you shouldn't have had long hair. Plus it looks retarded. I look at Erik Rutan and the photo especially on Metal-archives and think he must be saying this to himself and for no particular reason saying it to himself in a comedic swedish accent: "My locks of hair are my strength, bask in it's glory! It is The Obscure Terror! You'll be the Servants of the Hair!"

Like imagine like a village of people that are always indoors. ome strange traveller on a marvelous and mystical journey pops into town for refreshments and notices that noone ever goes outside, so he visits a house and talks to the dwelling.
"We be staying inside because of the Rising Legions of Hair! It is the Hair of Chaotic Divinity... 3 times a year we have to sacrifice a loved one to the Hair of all Hairs. Noone knows where it comes from, noone knows where it goes. The Plague of Hair!!!"

So the adventurer stays in the town, postponing his adventure. "I WILL FIND THE DASTARDLY HAIR BEAST COMMANDING HIS HAIR MINIONS, and he will be Dethroned. This truly is a Sacrilige of Hair!"

So he waits and the hair comes, and he follows it back from where it came... Through the inverted forest of Hair pines, and to the necrohairmountains!! "What a beat it must be, a dragon, a yeti, I am sure!"

He sneeks into the cave... Ice is everywhere, and the he sees something in the shadows. It speaks!!!

"WHO DARES ENTER MANA STUDIOS! [tape mixing and recording only]"

"It is I, Vladalada the adventueureurueer, come to send you to the Catacombs!"

"I AM ERIK RUTAN, KING OF ALL HAIR, BORN BY HAIR, and if YOU DONT LET ME EAT MY CHOCOLATE CEREAL IN PIECE, YOU WILL WILL HAVE TO FACE MY VICTORIOUS HAIR!"

"I have followed this Path to the Eternal Hair, and It Is My Will to defeat this Faceless One [because Eriks' face is obscured by his hair.]"

And what about that bald dude with the fucken big afro kinda thing thats really curly in Cryptopsy, he is fucken bald.

That was terrific. I greatly enjoyed it.

DAMMIT THIS THREAD IS BACK AND IN MY FACE ABOUT NOT HAVING LONG HAIR. My hair, is still short as ever, and I haven't used shampoo in over a month. Well, atleast I haven't shaved in a couple of weeks.

__________________

My hair is the same as it's been in the past couple years.....almost the same overall length. However, my hair individually is many different lengths, and my bangs are getting longer.

I'm taking care of it, even though it still looks shaggy and gross, and I'm also not losing as much hair as I used to.

Whatever the case, if I have long hair, and you have the guts and the chance to yank it, then by all means I applaude you.

haha I wanted to see if you were paying attention.

I was sitting in a kitchen chair near the cellar door at mom's yesterday and Bob tried to wrap my hair around the door knob. His dad told him to shut it in the door. Bob said he was gonna tie it on there and then yank the door open.
I'm so glad he's home!! I missed the snot.

Oh yeah! I think it was in a recent issue of Revolver there was a couple hippies from Pantera with their hair knotted together. I thought that was great.

is that supposed to sound like a fact? hair is for everyone, wether you cut it often or not at all has nothing to do with gender. but, judging by your little story, you werent really all there anyway.

i actually fealt a lot more like a dork when my hair was short and id see my idols in metal bands with cool long hair. my hair is pretty long now i guess. the front is about 4 inches past my chin.

i got my hair trimmed yesterday.....it was shoulder lenght earlier

__________________

Of course it is a fact - you god damn egg headed git.

I had my last hair cut in Easter where I got it cut really short. My hair's starting to get there as my fringe is past my nose. It looks a bit core at the moment but it'll get there.

__________________

i personally think a guy with long hair is v sexy and a lot of girlie metallers would agree with me, and yeah the inbetween stage is a pain, but get your hair trimmed every so often about half an inch, it'll help it to grow

__________________

Absolutely not.

Please kill this thread. It hurts my brain to hear you guys talk about this....

If you don`t do that soon, you`ll turn out like this

my hair is about 2 inches past my nipples but i'm gettin it cut to about shoulder length,probably a little longer, soon.

__________________

Hah, nice to see this thread back. I havent gotten a hair cut since March 26th and i'm going strong.

__________________

same, I'm hoping when it gets longer it weighs itself down. i want it to be so fucking long that its down to my nipples when its not wet or straightened.

__________________

well actually this is more current, taken yesterday, to show my current hair length

__________________

my dreads are finally starting to grow. ( at first they shrink ) they now almost reach my shoulders. But if I had normal hair it would have reached my shoulders. Hair becomes 1/3 shorter when you dread it

Cripe, according to walpurgis that would be to my knees then. (Look out Crystal Gayle!!) And that would fluctuate depending on the, umm, moon.

My hair gets about to my eyes and then stops and i been trying to grow this for ages.

__________________

My hair is at the small of my back, takes ages to grow but you gotta get the bottom 2-3 inches cut every few months and it grows quicker. I'm getting it cut in a few weeks though for re-enacting (WWII).

cutting the ends to make hair grow faster is a silly rumour

__________________

Yeah and not true obviously.

__________________

No, but it gets rid of split ends like cutting the end of a frayed rope so what's left is firmer and healthier. It does not work for phalluseses, but you're welcome to try it.

Too much Nile with wally today.

alright, congrats, now youre an idiot, and an asshole. enjoy your next haircut.

Its always a good thing to get your split ends cut.

but you have poop dreads after all


haha

heres a recent pic of how my hair looks now. well on the shoulders, but not where i want it. some time next year it will be where i want it.

EDIT: eh, theres also a recent picture of my hair's "progress" in the "recently bought" thread in which im showing off my new bracer(s)

I used to have my hair down a couple inches past my shoulder but when i started loking for a job the only thing i could get made me have hair not touching my shirt collar. So i sold out. it was pretty sweet too having money and all. Hopefully soon i can get a job that will will let me grow it out.

My hair is stupid it appears to just stop just over my eyes and in "the beatles" stage.

haha, "the beatles" stage. quite funny, but i think this still falls under the "shit period/stage".

once you get a job and you decide to start growing out your hair, they can't fire you for that reason can they?

Yeah but i got naturally straight hair so i don't have to bother about the curliness part

__________________

If it's a job that doesn't allow long hair, yes.
When I start interviewing for some bars to bouce at, I'll probably trim my beard very short, but tie my hair back.

I used to have extremely wavy hair that went down to the middle of my back and almost to my ass straightened. It took almost two years from a total buzzcut. I got sick of it and cut it all off randomly, no one at school knew who the fuck I was at first. To obtain it people usually trim a centimeter or two every two months and it grows faster, but I just let it grow.

I had a trim cuz my parents were bithcing at me for ages to get one and now it looks even more like beatles style.

damn, luckily ive never had a problem with my hair and my parents. my dad had long hair for 1/3 of his life, so hed never say anything, and my mom is cool about most things. I can hardly believe it when parents make a big deal about hair, as if its destructive or unhealthy!!!

Didn't you read scholastic health magazine? Long hair is detremental to your health, it makes you have dimentia and kill people, just like smoking pot.

ah, yes, i just read an article. it says that if your hair is longer than 4 inches you are 70% more likely to do drugs and 40% more likely to go crazy and kill people. and it says if you like metal your chances of these things are multiplied by 100

My mom hates my dreads. She wants to cut them off everyday. But I learned to live with it.

__________________

Same with my hair., she wants it gone.

__________________

wait a minute, so whose idea was it for you to get them when you were 4?

My oldest sister

__________________

haha. obviously your mom agreed, at the time. when was the first time she started to complain about it?

haha i still havent told my mom im gonna get dreads

__________________

When I was 16. They were starting to get very long and thick

__________________

Holy shit dude,you have lots a shitload of weight.

indeed i have

a good 3 pounds of it was probably hair too. my hair is so obscenely thick

__________________

I've always been curious how you "grow" dreads...although I don't want them I've always been curious...yes...

__________________

section hair in quares and backcomb each section. Wax them up and you have dreads. when the hair grows from that point it dreads automatically.

If you wanna do it the natural way just don't comb your hair for 2 years or so. just keep the hair clean. eventually you have dreads

__________________

sounds pretty growdy...the 2nd method...hmmm i'll definitely stick with the straight long hair...

__________________

I decided never to cut again no matter what everyone tells me i looked alot cooler with longer hair.
