the very first day I looked in the mirror and thought 'dang looks like my hair is thinning' I buzzed it all off.  My dad and grandad where 'comb-over guys' and I just couldnt face that. I think I was 23yrs old. I havent had any hair in over 22 years now

Got 3 cut offs same length, one fell off a pic on dresser & scared the wifey.

Cut it off in 2011 for 2nd marriage to her. Cut it off in 06 to get a job. Was to my butt then.

My hair used to go almost to my belt. Now it's about a third of what you have in your pic.

Just had about 6-8 inches cut off; was about 18 inches long. Have had it long and haven't shaved since 1967. Still like listening to music from those hippie days, too.

The Army joined me in 1969, so that was that for decades.

Now, sigh, as if I even wanted long hair -- and I don't -- that would not happen.

Living where we do, I threaten Kathi now and then with a queue à la George Washington.  She laughs because she knows how (un)likely that is without a fake one.

When I used to get my hair cut, I would always go for keeping 1.5 inches on top.
When - reared its ugly head around March of 2019, my friend that cut my hair quarantined himself from cutting hair.
His wife told me I should grow it out.
It will be 2 years March 2022 since my hair's been cut.
I'm 60. It's never been this long. I like it.
I need to figure out how to keep it from breaking when I wear my MC helmet.
Any ideas?

Seems to only grow so long, then stays that length. As the years go by, that length seems to get shorter.

My hair today is slightly longer than it was 60 years ago, but not much.  I was a Marine Lieutenant, then.

I am in my mid sixties. My hair has been long and short many times. This time it was for my wife. This is the last hurrah with the hair. When I decide to cut it, it will be short and that’s it.
