I had to cut my hair off for my job about 5 months ago. it was about chin length, almost even all around. Now I feel bald and 5 months later I havent gotten used to it, and i think i just looked better before. Right now it's about 1/2 inch long and maybe 3/4 in the front. anyone here have the same delema? what did you do about it?

keep your hair back when you're on the job. if you keep it neat/out of your eyes you shouldn't have a problem.

I am a police officer (gasp)... I had to cut my hair when I went to the academy. Now the department i work for isn't militant, but they have standards on how you have to look, the whole not touching your ears and coller thing.
i agree wit all of the above, but i need to be both! true gemini i guess!

I'd suggest you work undercover or something.

It's good to know what you want, but better to know who you are. In other words, it's nice to want a good job, but it's more important to know who you really are. I'm a longhair, and I will never accept a job if they expect me to cut it.
Don't take demands: consider requests. That's my motto in life.
We create our futures with our words, with our thoughts, with our deeds, and with our beliefs. It's what we do and what we say that gets us where we are. There are ramifications to every decision. The thing is, you have to wake up and look at yourself in the mirror and ask if what you're doing is for you or someone else. I do for myself, not others.
We learn by doing, and in the process we fall on our faces occasionally. Take this as a learning experience. You won't make the same mistake if you learn!
And this is something I've said several times on this board...and I can't stress just how important this is....
Remain independent of any source of income that will deprive you of your freedom and personal liberties.
SO TRUE!

you follow the same standards a femal cop would have, probably much more liberal, you know what I mean. Then if they hassel you, let them know that it is sex discrimination.
I find the military and jobs like yours have these odd standards. I allways found it interesting that men in these jobs get a lame awnser from authority figures about things like hygene, or percieved idealisms. so a women in the military can have long hair so long as it is up, but on a guy it's a hygene problem? I don't get it. Also the comrodiry thing, that by makeing all men get these inaguration hair cuts they will be a better team player. Hmm? so why don't women have to go through this humiliating unhuman ritual? What did hitler do to the jews in the camps. They all had shaved heads. So somebody help me understand, because I am really confused??????????

Well, I had the same thing happen to me in the 70's. That was when my hair was the longest until the last 2 years.
I got it cut for the job for the summer, then let it grow. Not a big deal, you have to pay the bills. There's plenty of time in life to express yourself, I'm doing it at 47, started this last whim at 45.
Just keep growing your hair while at that job. It is short enough now to satisfy any idiots who care about your hair. Why on
earth should it bother them?
Just keep growing, if that is what you want to do. Someone in authority gives you shit..go get a slight trim from someone who understands what you want. You made an effort to conform. If you are a good employee and they aren't complete azzholes that should work.
Good luck,
