There are a few things I can be an inspiration for, but none of them are positive.


Don't let me corrupt you :P

Listen to Uzi. She has all these resources I wish I had , including that website ...... I mean, if you want to take advice from someone, take it from her.

Who is Neil Gaiman? An author?

Welcome to the board Coyote

Sorry to hear that you felt pressured into cutting your hair. I think a lot of us have been there and regretted it.
Anyway, this board is here to counter-act such pressure and give you support in whatever YOU want for YOUR hair.

Now that your hair is short, I suggest you give it some special care to ensure it’s health and good condition as it grows out.
Some areas to consider:

1. What is your hair type? Are you using the appropriate products for your hair type?

2. What do you use to groom your hair – brush, comb, etc? Are these implements hair friendly?

3. What are you gong to do if/when split-ends occur? How do you want your ends to look? Do you want an even hair length or do you want it naturally variable?

Actually there are loads of questions but it all depends on what your specific hair goals are, in terms of length and style.

I don’t believe that hair growth per se can be affected by a hat, but the hair itself may be bent and thus damaged or weakened by the daily pressure in the same part of the head.

There is lots of good information for long hair care and hair care generally on Hair Boutique.
If you want hair advice specifically for men and to advise on peer pressure, I suggest you check out Bill Choisser’s website:

Do come back here and post often, though. This is a great place to come for long hair support, learning and fun.

Best wishes

Uzi
