ya I use to have long hair too and once I got into a fight with some damn persian who said I looked like a uh lass. only problem was the damn bitch pulled my hair in the fight like in every other fight Ive been in with long hair. also its hard to see the guy when your trying to punch in the head and your hair is waving in your face like saggy tits. but I tell you one thing I dont miss is waiting for it to muther fukin dry, thats fo shure.

3 words: tie it back

seriously... hahah

I've spent a total of almost 2 years growing my hair out and I still can't get all my hair tied back while it is tried...I have such a fucking massive head...god damnit

really? damn. after about a year and 2 or 3 months all of mine fith into a hair tie. you must really have a big head

haha. That hilarious. In my Aikido class, three of us--out of 5 or 6--have long hair. The highest ranking one and I tie ours back, and the other one lets it out, so he's always fingering it behind his ears. I'd think it'd get annoying with all the throws and shit, but he doesn't seem to care.

my hair right now is past my shoulders, been growing it for 2 years, recently i've been thinking about selling out for teh chicks as well, i got to double my dating you know

You better talk to Timedragon for some advice.

If you must cut your hair because you think chicks don't like long hair, you should cut it kerry king bald. Either have long hair, or no hair.

__________________

i dont think many would like my word on the issue. i say, fuck what people think, fuck what girls think. if you want to bang your fuckin head and feel good about it, grow your hair. If you want to project a potential image of metal, grow it. For me, i just feel better having hair. It makes me feel complete as far as viking metal. call me rediculous or anything, i feel better/more confident with long hair. My hair is finally long enough to wear down and "show off" and i feel good about it. Though most people out there dont even know the first thing about vikings, i still feel better about it.

You know you're a cretin, right?

"The men often wore their hair cut short. On the Bayeux tapestry there is some quite confusing male hairstyles - most of the hair has been shaved off and only a bush of hair is left."

"There is no one "Viking man's hairstyle". The Viking Age peoples had a wide variety of hairstyles, just as we do today. Some may have been most common in a particular region, or profession may have dictated hairstyle... Probably the average man wore his hair about collar or shoulder length, and his beard as long as was comfortable for him. A professional warrior might make other choices for hairstyle to minimize the hazard of having hair or beard grabbed in combat."

Thank you Far beyond sane, thank you for putting me down. sorry i wasnt specific in saying "viking metal". but you fealt you must bring me down somehow. you really needed to look that up to belittle me? as far as i know there was a viking period in which long hair was the style. so what if im wrong. but you really wanted to make an effort to embarass me? I say shame on you. all you usually do is pick on people and try to make them feel stupid. ive been reading a few viking books, and please dont use me as a soure of entertainment. I dont speak as specific about vikings as ive read as i do about viking metal because for the most part, i know there arnt many people who care to be interested, and for you to bring that up to put me down is just crap. I admit, im in the process of learning viking history. ok, so you dont need to go and pick fun about what i know. i love viking metal because its melodic, has great keyboards and lyrics. you shouldnt pick fun about that.

You talked about people 'not knowing about Vikings' as though you did. He proved you didn't. If you want to make a claim to knowledge, be prepared to have it deflated. If you're going to cite some pretentious reason for doing something simple like growing your hair out, expect to have it made fun of. Don't be so sensitive, sweetheart.

Incidentally, he didn't poke fun at your love of viking metal; he poked fun at your pretense of knowing about something about which you have a shallow knowledge. He didn't say a damn thing about the keyboards, or about the lyrics. Don't ramble just because your feelings were hurt when it turned out you know as much about vikings as 'most people.'

"proved i didnt"? what are you talking about. ive read plenty about vikings. All i was saying as far as keyboards was one one of the reasons i love viking metal. I know he didnt say anything, its not about what he said, i was just stating why i love it. and i have read more than once that viking hairstyles were popular over many areas, and im talking about the one where the bangs are cut short and the rest is long. i fuckin read that, so if you want to argue about who wrote that, go ahead.

Write something coherent, then we can argue. Jim's post showed that your blanket statement about viking haircuts was wrong. Your post got in a huff about that, then started talking about viking metal keyboards. My post criticized you for getting in a huff and making a non-sequitor. Then you got into another huff and made another non-sequitor. Nobody criticized your liking viking metal. All that was criticized was your knowledge, and your incoherent rambling since doesn't do anything to defend it.

I read "the vikings" by Jonathan Clements, and it did not say one thing about vikings being bald. so FUCKING EXCUSE the author i read from to your fucking superior knowlege. i admit, i dont know everthing about the subject, but how did his "post" prove anything? that was just a link to yet another opinion on the matter. The only reason i mentioned the keyboards is because that is one of the parts i love the most. it was not a "huff" i was just simply telling why i like it. And i dont see the point in trying to pick fun at my knowlege on this matter.

That was a link to some documented statements about viking hair, not just another opinion. Your knowledge wasn't just poked fun of, it was deflated because, now watch closely here, you claimed to have a special knowledge - that's above 'most people out there,' who 'don't know the first thing about vikings' - about a subject, and then we were linked to - I have to stress this again - documentation regarding viking hair that contradicted the facts from your original claim. This is what we call 'proving' something - in this case the veracity of that claim.

As for the mention of keyboards: it's irrelevant to a discussion of viking hair. There's no reason for it to be in the conversation, except your irrational, touchy defense once you saw somebody discount your attempt to be above the hoi palloi when it comes to vikings. You got into a huff, or threw a mini word tantrum, because the criticism hurt you. I said deal with it, and I'm still saying it. Deal with it, precious, and do so without words. For our sake.

Deal with it? the book i have says nothing of the sort. So NO, i will not "deal with it". i will choose to refer to the book i own rather than some website that states otherwise. and as for you being so confident on my being wrong, perhaps you should research yourself. maybe i am reading the wrong book, but maybe you are reading the wrong site. yes, the keyboard part is irrelevant to the discussion of the hair, so why did you mention it anyway??? i only mentioned it because i was stating one of the reasons i love viking metal. so you did it why?

It wasn't total ice but it was hell of a lot stiffer than it should be!

And you know who will win,and who will 'leave metaltabs forever'.

Just to make a small point here, the Bayeux tapestry depicts Normans, not Vikings. While one could consider them essentially as 3rd age Vikings, the Duchy of Normandy at it's peak, was completely French in its culture, language, and administration. Using the Normans to back up a point about Viking hair is like using a chainsaw to slice an apple.

You would've been fine posting just the second link.

kvlt?

Isn't that even a little bit funny, or am I just a big cruel meanie with nothing better to do that hurt Bunnikins feelings?



I did! And what thanks do I get???

TO HELL WITH METALTABS!

OH! YOUR! GOD! An intelligent comment! We should have you stuffed and mounted!

I get away on a technicality as the Viking Age finishes in 1066 and the Bayeux tapestry is a depiction of Norman invasion in said same year. However, you are absolutely right that these were an entirely different kind of 'Viking' to the other ones mentioned.

But! The grooming customs of our fightin' Normans appear to be little different for a couple of hundred years earlier. From VikingsOnline.org.uk, discussing Viking settlements in Ireland... 9th or 10th century, I guess this would be.

"Hair Styles
There are several different hair styles depicted some of which seem to have been peculiar to certain occupations. Soldiers, for instance, are shown with long and short hair styles. They would also appear to have worn a heavy moustache with or without a beard.

The high status men avoided the moustache in favour of a beard or else were clean shaven. Razors, similar to the 'cut throat' variety have been found at Dublin. There were also rules governing how short hair could be. It was considered indecent to have more than a handsbreath between the top of the ear and the hairline."

In conclusion, I think we can all agree that Vikings rule. Almost as good as Ninjas, a little better than Pirates.

Wasn't a debacle, and it can't get hot if I leave before it becomes one. After a few attempts to cut through fog with a scalpel I decided to wait and see if timedragon was just drunk or if the state's become permanent.

At least an apple cut with a chain saw is still cut. There's no need for subtlety or delicacy when dealing with you people. You can argue with a hammer and still be whined to death.

By the way, on subject, I'd like to note that my hair was once longer and thicker than anybody else here's. It was thick and lustrous, so much so that women offered me sexual favors in exchange for cutting it (true story. Really) and also asked me less provacatively for advice on how to get theirs as kickass. Now it's buzzed. Having extremely short/no hair rules.

Thank you!

oh, i see it now, i had you all wrong before.

im trying to grow my hair at the moment, its actually funny someone started this thread.

my fringe is almost at my mouth, it looks like total shit but if i gel it flat its ok so i can put up with it.

I kinda need to trim the old mullet tho. Does anyone know of any vitamins which stimulate hair growth?

wha? you have LOWER NIPPLES!!!!

HAHA

Amerok: yours looks easy to brush and keep neat. lucky.

I have long hair. Just past the middle of my back. I am getting a trim tommorow. Just about 3 inches off. I was working nights for a long time and was so tired I kept forgeting to take a shower so my ends are all dead. But after the cut it should be healthy again. The best way to keep long hair is through food. Heathly foods. And lots of beer! No joke. There is an ingrediant called Bruer's Yeast in beer and it helps keep your hair healthy and strong. I actually wash my hair with non achoholic beer and it keeps it soft and healthy.

damn, 3 inches off for me, right now, would be a killer. im just going to have to deal with the damaged hair thats at the ends. mine really sucks cause you can actually feel incredible damage at the last 2 inches of most of my hair. and why is this? because in highschool, before i was "allowed" (school rules) to grow my hair, i had to straighten it every other day, or look like a dumbshit. i probably should have cut all that damaged/fried hair off when i started to let it grow out, but everyone knows that the last thing you want to do to your hair, when you are growing it out, is cut it all off.

Cutting off the shitty bits will be worth it in the long run

I'm still getting used to having short hair, sometimes when I put a jacket on I reach round to pull the non-existant hair out of the collar! Mine used to reach down to my waist, I was growing it since I was 14 up until a few months ago

__________________

but this is something i question... if the damaged parts break off easily, is it much different to just let them break off untill healthy hair is reached? do you know what i mean? say you have 1 inch of damaged ends, why is it better to cut off the inch rather than not, and have that inch break off naturally?

I think it would just stay damaged because it would keep splitting. Damaged hair is easier to damage further and keep becoming damaged I would think.

Because the dry damaged parts eats it's way upwards at a horribly fast speed
