i want to try long hair... the problem is that my hair is very thick (as in abundant) and the mass results in a big poofy loaf of hair once i get up to like only even 1 inch long. i have had the top at like 5 inches and it still would stick up near the base so it would be like a big wave. In order to control it i have to glop like a half bottle of gel in there each day. it looks cool enough when i do that with like 2 or 3 inches of hair, but getting longer than that, all I can do is slick it back, or just wear a hat. and slicking it back looks rather rediculous on me, and the hat is not an option where I work/study.
I imagine that I would look good if i ever did grow it out to my shoulders or further, cuz then there would be enough weight to pull it down, but getting there would just be annoying as fuck. plus i think i would have to grow a full mustache/goatee combo to make it look good and I don't want the mustache.
I like my little tuft of chin hair the way it is, and it can stand alone.
