How long should my hair be?

You usually have it quite short, don't you? I'd be interested to see what it looks like longer, but I don't think that I could come down on one side or the other without a basis for comparison.

And what's brought this on?

Thank for your views. It's an ongoing debate between me and Creatrix.

How about all the way down your back? Just to be different. We know who'd lend you a wig - would you like blonde or black?

All men should have sticky up hair, in my opinion, and cut it at the point when it gets too heavy to stand up on its own. But I don't think yours does that naturally; I don't think my doctrine has an answer in that case.

How long do you want it?

I guess that in your job a ponytail wouldn't be suitable, but you could always change career, astrophysics seems a popular choice at the moment.

Alternatively, you could shave it all off. If you don't like the pastie white colour of your scalp try boot-black.

For some reason I'd imagined you with a ponytail.

What is Creatrix's view?

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

She prefers it to be longer than it is currently, while not as long as it was in my late teenage years.

Long enough to keep your neck warm in winter; long enough to stop sunburn in summer (silly me, I forgot you're in the UK!); short enough to not get in your face when studying or reading; short enough that you don't feel like a Led Zeppelin reject.

That all sounds like good advice :-) I do get sunburnt up here - I even burnt the first time we went to Orkney! Second time round, the lady at the tourist information office was rather baffled when we asked her where we could buy suncream!

Er - no! Currently no 4 clippers back and sides, blended in on the top.

It was pretty shaggy in my late teens - when I was at Uni I generally had it cut once a term. But even then it was nowhere near ponytail length.

To get sunburnt in Australia is easy; to get sunburnt in the Orkney Islands is a feat that few of us could accomplish. I'm astounded.

I agree with Creatrix, but purely for solidarity, as I tend to have the same preference wrt Skordh ;-) I suspect many wives prefer their husbands' hair a little longer (nicer to ruffle? more romantic image?) than the husbands' practical preferences.

I think those are pretty much Creatrix's views.

Gel?
