You know what really grinds my gears?

When you meet your kids friends dad outside the store. You know the guy who never stops talking, has a opinion about literally everything and can’t take a hint that I’m in a hurry. Same guy you never want to end up sitting next to at football practice or the parents-teachers conference. Yes I’m too nice and polite to tell him I don’t have the time to stand here all day

I have this problem too! I remember heating my soup up at work one time in the communal kitchen and the world’s chattiest colleague came in and didn’t stop rambling until I managed to escape after 10 mins. When I got to my desk and ate my soup it was cold. Was raging at myself more than anything haha.

I just went for a flat viewing and the landlord would not stop talking to me. It started at 11.30 and I didn’t leave until 12.20. It’s a 1 bedroom flat, I had no need to be there for nearly an hour and I ended up over running and missing another viewing I had booked for 12.15.

Nice flat, lovely guy. But for the love of God he did not stop talking. And because he’s my prospective landlord I couldn’t exactly say to him “mate, pack it in now and let me leave”.

I’ve done exactly the same but a bit lower down, Del Piero style, almost kept a Guy Martin at first but I looked like I was on a list.

Hahaha yeah they’re we’re a bit further down yesterday but then I shaved and accidentally chopped them.

I’m trying to see how long I can let my hair get, been very liberating.

I’m aiming for man bun length at the least.

I will allow you that privilege so long as you don’t actually put it in a bun. That said if anyone I know can pull that look off it’s you.

Nope as I grade 1 the sides

Oh yeah I have no intention of actually putting it in a bun haha

Totti and Cannavaro length in 2002 where I can just tuck it behind my ears would be ideal, or maybe Pirlo in his later years a la this

I think my hair is too curly to successfully do that though unfortunately

I was so tempted to let my hair just grow and grow but in the end I lost my mind and decided to just slap the whole thing off.

You’ve got glorious hair. The longer it gets the sexier it’s gonna look. You could pull off the Pirlo style easy if you maintain it well along the way.

Thanks man, I’ve always been super self conscious about my hair and curls. Used to straighten it before lol But now lockdown has given me the perfect opportunity to embrace the curls.

Been using conditioner and an argan oil hair product to keep it moisturised and control the curls just a little bit haha

Wavy/curly hair is the best in my eyes 'cause it has a lot of character to it. I used to hate having wavy hair but as I’ve grown older I appreciate it a lot more.

I also happen to think that curly hair on women is the single greatest thing imaginable too lol.

Your hair is too luscious for you to be self conscious about it man!

Your hair is great mate, I am super jealous of it. My hair is super straight and trust me it’s no fun. I guess us human are just innately programmed to want what we don’t have haha.

Aww shucks boys, I wasn’t even fishing for compliments or anything but this has made my day haha

You can add a +1 to this, my hair is floppy as fuck, totally lacking in body or any sort of strength lol.

I need so much product if I want it to do anything other than flop down over my forehead lol

That’s partly why I keep it short-ish, cos the longer it gets, the harder it is to achieve anything decent. If my hair had a bit of wiriness to it, a bit of wave or curl, I’d definitely experiment and grow it out a bit more. @Cristo with your hair you’re capable of a few styles that I just couldn’t work.

Same. Even the slightest bit of moisture and my hair sticks to my head.

But that’s what clippers are for :slight_smile:

Things is, I know one day going fully short will be the only viable option, and I’ll be fine with that when the time comes. But I don’t want to waste what must be the last of my prime adult years for having a luscious and limp full head of hair haha

When people ask me why I take care of my hair so much, this is reason I give lol.

I have curly hair and I hate it lol. I can’t style it at all, if I leave it to grow I will be sporting a Will Ferrell biff. I’ve gained my father’s receding hairline as well, which gives me an almost Vegeta-esq hairline ffs.

I remember when I grew it out on the top one summer, proper curls on top and faded on the sides and I was working in a customers home (doing a loft conversion at the time for a posh Hampstead couple), anyway it was super hot and I had enough of the hair and I decided to lop it all off. Came in the next day with a 2 on top and almost zero on the sides, the lady customer was mortified, literally stared at me for a good minute or so. I felt like I was going to get a bollocking or something haha. She just looked at me and said “Oh nooo, why did you cut all your curls off?!” in a shrill tone, fucking hell.

It’s almost as if I had condemned myself judging by her reaction.

Also, I’ve always wondered how short hair is perceived amongst people? Like a number 2 buzz cut or anyway equivalent to that?

Wow. I didn’t realise just how jealous I am of people who have hair. I haven’t been at a hair saloon for well over 10 years now since I’ve let my Gillette take care of it for me. I had really thick and long head banging hair throughout my teens. Sadly I was a victim of the genes so I started to loose it in my late twenties. But I would never do a Wayne Rooney, cos having it shaved is pretty damn comfortable (and saves money too) :grin:But from time to time I miss having the option.
