Been A While...

Hi all. Sure has been a while since I've done this. It's Treyn here to get a little crying and self pitty off my chest. Feel free to write back with as many "I told ya so's" and "Your an idiot's" as you feel like submitting. I'm totally with ya'! Here go's. Lately I've been wondering around this town and abroad and I've been seeing a lot of guys with long hair popping up. Not only just long hair, but hair that is the same length I would be at by now if I had just left it alone before getting that stupid under-cut(not that under-cuts in general are stupid, but mine was definetly a stupid move). I just get down hearted when I see that, you know. I wish with all I have in me that I had left it alone. My bangs would be somewhere around lower neck by now if I had. So, I am starting over. My bangs currently reach to lower nose level and my hair is in layers. From here on out I am done with haircuts. I am currently 32 years old, so by the time I am 35 I will be throwing some awesome hair around. Not sure how often I will hang around the board here, but I just thought I would bitch a little about myself and maybe help a few of those who are struggling to hang in there with their own hair growth. I totally went against all the advice I used to give here at this board, but never again. Anyway, thanks for reading and like I said, comments of any kind are highly welcome. Give it to me good, guys!

Ah, we all slip up. I remember I got so pissed off one morning in the awkward stage that I took some nail scissors to my hair and hacked an inch off the sticky-outy bits at the back of my head.
Keep growing.
A While...well...

If your bangs are "already down to your lower nose level...
that's not starting from a buzzcut, so you're ahead of the *game*...
Your hair is healthy, grows fast and has a good texture so you
certainly know what to expect!
AND if you post new progress pictures...
you WILL inspire others on their journey.
There are always different ways of looking at things...
different perspectives. So look at it from that angle!
Thanks for popping in in letting everybody know of your plans!
and, Good Luck!

... I too made the mistake of getting an undercut and hated it so much that I ended up cutting it short ... and that too was a mistake.
Have been starting over myself and my hair is now starting to hit the eyes and cover the ears.
We all learn from mistakes ... good luck this time around.
(I should mention that I think undercuts look awesome on some guys.

Well when growing hair out, a year (normally it'd be a year and a half but since its already to your nose...) may seem like an eternity. As hard as it may be it's best not to think about it, from a non-hair growing perspective a year goes by relly fast. I'll be cutting my hair really short soon (spring break) but I'm giving myself about a month to think about it so I think I'll be ok.

Six why are you planning on cutting your hair or are you hoping that by spring break you'll come back to your senses ?

my hair's just not what I would like it to be, and it causes me way too much trouble. (plus where I live 100% humidity is very common, that doesn't help) I'm giving myself a month to think about it just to be safe.

I am with you on the "Not thinking about it much" thing, cause that's what got me in trouble in the first place. I am going to just keep my mind off it as much as possible and let nature run it's course! Thanks!
Hey Treyn...

...welcome back! You cut at the time because that's what you thought best. No worries. My hair length might actually be close to yours now! You'll have to post a pic. Nice to hear from ya again.
