We've all had some pretty stupid haircuts in our lifetimes. What are some of the phases that you've been through?
I had a regular haircut for most of my childhood, until I hit high school. I started growing my hair as some stupid thing to do with my long distance girlfriend at the time. I don't remember what the reasoning was, but I started growing my hair. I had to cut it several times in my senior year, as my school didn't allow for anything past the shoulder After I graduated, I grew it to my shoulder blades. Then things didn't work out, so I shaved my head and stuck with that for a while.
A few years later, my brother sent me on a trip to Japan and we had a chance to meet up. It was by pure chance that she was on break from college and we got to spend a day and a half together again. It looked like we were going to start something up again, and I started growing my hair again. Things didn't work out, so I just kept growing it out of depression. This time, I grew it down to my ass. I eventually went back to the shaved head, when I stopped hitting the gym and was called 'ma'am' on several occasions, from behind.
I pretty much stuck with the shaved head for a long time, until we had an opportunity to work with a school on a neighbor island. I figured I would give the kids a treat and grew my hair for a bit, then made a double mohawk. All the kids loved 'uncle paul' and my haircut was a hit.
One thing about keeping it nicely shaved is that it takes time. I don't like doing it with an electric trimmer, because of all the rubbish. I don't have a compressor at home and I don't like doing it at work, because my head gets full of abrasive sawdust. The dust takes a toll on the blades and they end up getting dull really fast. So I started skinning it, but that adds a lot of time to my daily shower, which I already think is a waste of time. If they could make an ionizing gate that would get you clean by walking through it, I would buy one.
My most recent interesting twist on the shaved head was a full mohawk. I've been growing it for a few weeks to a month at a time, then buzzing it, mostly because I'm too lazy to do a weekly trim. I got really lazy this year and didn't cut my hair for about three months. When I finally got around to it, I figured I might as well get creative and did a full mohawk. What's nice is that we had an unexpected write up in the paper and I was immortalized with the haircut.
Well, now that I've shared more than you probably care to know about my personal hygene, go ahead and post some of your own haircut stories. Facial hair stories are fine, too. I'm the same way with my beard and moustache as I am with the hair on my head. Now that I can finally grow a decent patch of hair, I'm too lazy to shave or keep it neatly trimmed. I just let it grow until I look like a savage, then shave out of necessity.

Well, growing up, I had the typical 80s Mexican hairstyle of little boys. Don't know what its called but looked like a mushroom (its funny before high school graduation when you put baby pictures in the yearbook how you find out that a ton of people had the same exact hairstyle growing up).
8th grade I had the sides shaved and grew the top into a ponytail. That was a popular style back in 98. Got it down to my shoulders before graduating.
Sophmore year in high school that was no longer "hip" so I got it cut. Got a fade with the top moderatly long enough to comb back.
Senior year seems everyone was sporting goatees. I, of course did not know that was going to be the style at the time as I just started not shaving during the summer. I kept it for a few months (not growing but constantly trimming to keep it a certain length) before I shaved it all off.
After graduation and into college I started growing my beard. My hair was short at this period. Number 1 on the trimmer. I had the beard down to my chest. After that, it seemed to stop growing. After all the problems that came with the beard became too much, I shaved it off (it took a LONG time to get rid of it all).
Since then, I am clean shaven and hairstyle is a fade (#1 on sides #2 on top). Seems much easier to do business also. So that's my story.His name was MackemX
What kind of a man are you? The guy is unconscious in a coma and you don't have the guts to kiss his girlfriend? -
Yeah, I know what haircut you're talking about. I had the local hawaiian version of it. We call it the ricebowl haircut, because it looks like someone put a big rice bowl on your head and trimmed around it.
When I did my mohawk, I had no idea that we were going to be in the paper. My brother told me to trim it, but I didn't have time and ended up taking the photo with it. I spend most of my time in the shop, so I don't need to be as conservative with my haircuts, which is nice. -
There are pictures of me as a child out there somewhere... buried never to be again see the light of the sun, but they are out there. And though I am VERY young in them I do indeed have a mullet.

Ah yes. The mullet. Was it here, that someone posted the link to that webpage dedicated to mullets? It was one of the funniest things I've seen online.

Crew cuts and Dutch Boys until about 10 and then split down the middle and feathered and shoulder long until it just quit growing. Now bald in back. Forhead moving to the back and what is left is split down the middle and over the collar. On the face, well I was born with a full beard, my mother was tickeled to death! I graduated high school with a beard (a little thin) I wear handle bars and go from mutton chops to full in about a month and then back to mutton chops. Shaving is a waste of time. I have actually scratched women with my stubble (dermabraision in places that don't need it)
IS IT SUPPOSED TO SMOKE LIKE THAT? -
This is what I looked like about 20 years ago. This is not a fake!
Fixed it for you. Now I kinda wish I hadn't.

Try removing any spaces in the file name. Cause I can't load that pic at all.

We should do a picture post again, but this time with one of your stupidest/crappiest haircuts.
My mom braided my entire head for senior pictures, but the dean of my school was an ass and messed up some of the braids. I went to a private school and the braids didn't violate any rules. But like I said, he was an ass. By the end of the day, some of them had unravelled, so I just scrapped the idea and took a regular picture.
If I can find the copy of the newspaper with my mohawk, I'll scan it and post. -
Cheers Adam. Horrific ain't it

When I was in Navy boot camp in '69 (with hair shaved pretty much bald), a friend came up to me while I was standing in front of a bathroom mirror, laughed, and said, "Hey, you look like Nikita Krushchev (the Soviet Premier at the time)." I looked in the mirror and, by golly, he was right (grin).
Throughout the 60s, when everyone and their brother was wearing long hair, I lived in a small rural town and had always worn my hair close-cropped. Really, the Navy didn't have much to cut in boot camp.
But, I'd always wondered what I'd look like with long hair. So, after I left the Navy, I started growing it. And from then until now (about 30 years), I've worn my hair long. Currently, it's tied back in a ponytail that goes halfway down my back. I'm one of the few men my age (55) who still wears his hair that way, hehe, but I do it because "I" think it looks good on me ... and to heck with what anyone else thinks (grin).

They have cream now that removes your stubble after you shave it and its starts to grow back now. You put it on for a few minutes and just wash it off to keep it bald (just like womens dipilatory for their legs)One thing about keeping it nicely shaved is that it takes time. I don't like doing it with an electric trimmer, because of all the rubbish. I don't have a compressor at home and I don't like doing it at work, because my head gets full of abrasive sawdust. The dust takes a toll on the blades and they end up getting dull really fast. So I started skinning it, but that adds a lot of time to my daily shower, which I already think is a waste of time. If they could make an ionizing gate that would get you clean by walking through it, I would buy one.
I have had afros, high top fades, jerhi curls, and a high top fade jerhi curl with freeze combo.
Now its just a low cut fade
One time in high school I was puttting peroxide on my face for pimples
I found out a very valuable lesson:
Never ever put peroxide on your face and go out into the sun peroxide is an oxiderzer and it bleaches hair I had a blonde mustache, beard ,eyebrows, and a ring around my hairline for a month

Since I was 11, I've had a crew cut. I keep my hair about 5mm long. It looks fine on me, and I don't need to worry about it. Ever.
