: hey people, I'm 25, I've always had really short hair, almost buzz cut in the back and side, about 1 to 11/2 inch infront. Recently, I've made up my mind to grow it long!!! My question is, should I cut the hair at all (esp, near the nape of my neck) I mean, my hair is coarse and thick, I'm already starting to look like a chia pet, the part around my neck really sticks out and look funny, :-( Can I just keep that part short until the front and top grows long enough to my neck. My second question is what do I do about side burns? How high do u guys recommend cutting it, or not cutting it at all and grow it and push behind the ears. Thanks, alot, people for reading this,
: chia pet, needs help,
I'm 19 and had a similar haircut when I started growing mine out seven months ago. My recommendation: if it bothers you, definitely get it trimmed at the base of your neck. That will give the hair on top a chance to catch up with the hair in back. (I haven't had mine trimmed this way, but I'm not bothered by the way it looks.)
The sideburns took me a while to figure out. I have short sideburns, and eventually decided to let the sideburn hairs grow out the same as the rest. I shave all the way up to the sideburn hair, but avoid cutting it (I've found this is easier with an electric shaver than a razor). And yeah, it's easy to tuck behind your ears. When mine gets a lot longer I'll also wear it untucked.
Jeff Bridges has sideburns like mine in the attached image.
