Trying to maintain the goatee a bit, shaping it so it doesn't just become a tuft on my chin. May end up needing to shave if mask wearing starts to feel a little more urgent.

I am boycotting this thread as it is hairist.

I'm continuing to do what I've done while deployed: buzz my head.

I've been here since before the barber shop opened and have to maintain military regs, unfortunately.

About to let the kids have at my head with the clippers. Wish I had won one last Swampcrash first.

I'm growing a mullet

Super close to “cleaning up the sides” which would likely lead to disaster.

I'm gonna keep the neck trimmed but otherwise just gonna grow everything out everywhere. Fuck it.

I pulled my facial hair back today. Had to get rid of some flyaway.

Bronto Exotic. Can't wait.

So I have this video bookmarked and this guy makes it look easier than I expected, but I can't tell if he's just uncommonly good at cutting his own hair.

That’s more or less what I need for the sides.

I’m still shaving regularly (every other day), but I’m giving up on my hair. I’m accepting that by the time this over I’ll finally have that man bun from 2015.

I’ve just been using a beard trimmer on my head with the comb piece removed and it’s been surprisingly non-disastrous. But my hair was already on the long side when quarantine started so it’s probably a lot harder to notice unevenness than if it were shorter.

Couldn't stand the hair touching my ears and neck anymore. Its basically a modified Yuli Gurriel. Kids like it.

If this keeps up I'll have a pony tail in a couple of weeks.

Over the weekend one of my kids was able to braid my beard (chair hair portion of my goatee?). The longest portions date from pre-COVID.

Pics?

Tried to schedule my first cut in 18 months only to learn my person (1) switched shops and (2) had another kid.

I'm nearing Samson territory.

As for actual hair on the top of my head I'm going to be able to rock a pony during our vacation in late August and utterly horrify my wife so I'm excited about that.

The pool has ruined my "it doesn't matter because I can just wear a hat" approach.

sancarlos · Post by **sancarlos** » Wed Jun 30, 2021 1:14 pm

My hair isn't even all that long, but my parents were visiting last week, so I got to enjoy a lengthy harangue from my mother about the length of my hair.

So, I got that going for me.

Which is nice.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Wed Aug 11, 2021 9:38 am

The haircut has ruined my "I can just throw my headphones on and they can't fuck up my hair" approach.

I've been getting haircuts for months now.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Wed Aug 11, 2021 9:53 am

I went mid-July, so right around 18 months. In the meantime, my hair person got pregnant, had a kid and switched jobs.

govmentchedda · Post by **govmentchedda** » Wed Aug 11, 2021 10:18 am

Still jiggling over here, but I could definitely use a trim. Was scheduled for Thursday, unsure if that's still on.

week and a half from now - super excited!

We have a wedding (co-worker of my wife) in late September so there might be a post-vacation reckoning. Will likely trim my chin-hair, at least, which has been growing free since March 2020.

This Covid has been going on for so long, I've had multiple beards and cut them off, grew my hair long, cut it off, now growing it long(ish) again.

Mullets seem to be really popular with the glowing young ruffians on the boardwalk. And the back of my hair looks great…

The local lacrosse boys up here were rocking them back in spring 2019.

rass · Post by **rass** » Mon Sep 20, 2021 9:46 am

Lopped off well over 1/2 the length of my chin hair, first substantial shear since February or March 2020. Been thinking about doing it since coming from vacation earlier this month, and we have a wedding to go to this coming weekend.

Johnny Carwash · Post by **Johnny Carwash** » Mon Sep 20, 2021 10:06 am

Is the mullet coming back a thing that begins ironically and then evolves to being unironic (ironically)?

Giff · Post by **Giff** » Mon Sep 20, 2021 10:38 am

I could rock a pretty awesome one right now if I wanted.

I'll be exactly three months from a cut/beard trim which is the longest I've gone since the pandemic started. I'm so ready.

It's around 10 inches. And it's all been cut off and about to be donated.
