Thanks to all who responded! The ladies are telling me to go for it and the guys are a putting a little too much Zen into it, but basically saying the same thing. I found it interesting that no one has said that longer hair, especially over the ears, is out of date. Anyone else disagree with that??And Karen, putting pictures on the site....whoa! That would be an experience! My wife would probably fall over laughing, but it is a motivation of sorts. I'll think about that! Speaking of my wife, she's not too keen on the idea. I think she's afraid that I'll swap my Honda for a Harley and grow a ponytail down my back!OK, here's the deal. I'm still not completely convinced that I wouldn't look like I did in 1978. But, some recent compliments I received when my hair was a bit longer just before my last haircut have surprised me. Maybe it was because they came from females, which always gets my immediate attention!Anyway, I'm going to try it longer. Mostly on top, maybe use something to keep it under control and get out of the totally dry look. Right now I don't use anything, just shampoo and blow dry. Any suggestions on that besides hairspray?Also, any other guys out there who have done this or are considering it? Brothers in arms, y'know......

Alright Dick....so check out Mr. Bill Beene on the front page.Of course we also have photos of our honorable webmaster Mr. Jeff on the front page when you click on the hotspots to read more about Karen & Jeff.Then we have had some great photos of Mickhael from WW Beauty and Dave Decker (who has fabulous long hair) and Victor has posted photos of himself in his famous braid on Hair Talk. We will also have photos of several more men that are in the works. :-)So I think you should step up to the plate and let us display your hair as it grows. :-)Hey...its not like you would be on a Wanted Poster in a Post Office somewhere. :-) LOL.Good luck with whatever you decide. Keep us posted. Obviously you generated a lot of interest. :-)Best wishes,Karen> Thanks to all who responded!
