Terrible news: Sadness and fear
Posted by Santiago on September 21, 2001 at 21:20:53:
Well, I've been growing since late May and I'm starting to feel I'm entering the awckward stage in full. I don't know if I can say by now if I'm in or not (my ears get a bit covered, and unlike the rest of my life I can actually grab all the hair in my head, cause I had had monthly cuts all my lifw.. yuk!) I'm starting to find short hair ugly and dull. I hope I make it through this, I'm taking biotin and stuff. Anyway I saw a terrible thing, a friend with at least 10 months of growth, got a big haircut, he was geting very cool hair and he threw it away... it made me sad, and I don't know why he did it, maybe he didn't stand the awckward stage anymore.
Well to finish this, I'd like to ask yo guys something.
I'm starting to get some pressure and comments, got 3 from my dad this week, In college I'm seeing many nice heads of hair. By now I'm letting by curly hair afro get gigantic, to get a relaxing treatment later on.
Another thing is that some days I find my bangs shorter than others, they're in average mid nosed... I was hoping to get it to the tip of the nose by 0ctober the 7th (the 7th is my reference date), but some times I feel nothing is growing despite the biotin and fo-ti. However, is this normal? I do feel I have big hair now(in reference to disgusting shorthairs). Any advice in general?
Thank you guys... good growing!
P.S. I'm VERY scared that the military freeks will make me buzzcut because I have some military service stuff pending... any advice?

Hi Santiago,
: P.S. I'm VERY scared that the military freeks will make me buzzcut because I have some military service stuff pending... any advice?
Instead of taking a guess, why not check with your recruiter or whoever is in charge of the military service: "I'm letting my hair grow out, will I have to get it cut short for my term of service?"
As for the comments you've been getting: are they from people who think you aren't taking good care of your hair, keeping it neat & clean; or do they think you won't be able to get a job; or are they just philosophically opposed no matter what?
Good luck!
Chris
