In a fit of madness (or at least a desperate atempt to return to the world of jobs that actually come with a paycheck) my long hair is gone. It was well past my shoulderblades after 5 years of growth. Once the shock wore off I was bereft, remoreseful, and grief-stricken. But it's been a good week for that. From certain angles at least, with my glasses and my new suit I look a bit like a British banker. It's pretty creepy. Here's similar shots of Before...  Aaaaaand after.  Another shot.  Oy.  Oh well, it's only hair. It will grow back. |

No. The damn thing bites. Besides, it tickles better this way.  |

May I suggest that the tall friend who takes your photos, bend down a tad, for a lower angle on the face. That way you have a chance of not looking like a surprised chipmunk!!  What's the difference between a good haircut and a bad one? About two weeks. |

Thanks, George! Is that how you get that look too?  These are blind self-portraits. Sue me. |

Look like British banker?
Typo there. Don't confuse your B's and W's.

5 years???You are my hero! I was considering my first haircut in over a year,but your heroic hair growing exploits have inspired me to remain slovenly,unkempt and genuinely scary to most people...Chinese or otherwise.

Wow, thanks, GG. Very cool.
The hair is negotiable. The stash is terminal.

Go for it, Decurso. The hair farming days are over for me- have you ever seen a bold guy try to relive the sixties?  Incidentally, Raoul, before I forget again: wait 2 weeks, then go back and get them to fix the back. trust me. |

Ignore him, Con. We all do.
Yeah, I don't like the back and didn't know he was going to buzzband it like that. I will be returning to his salon soon to collect his lungs.

I cut my hair to come to China. About 10 years growth, right down my back.
Now, my hair has a mind of it's own. Mind you, I think the natives would freak a bit at the old look. They used to stare when I came to visit China, and I wasn't sure about getting a job.
Still, the greying streaks look sad in an ageing ex-hippy.

 But in point of fact, bald is a lack of head hair. |

My Daddy said to me once: "Son, don't worry about your baldness until...your forehead reaches your ass, then worry!"
That's my story and I'm stickin' with it!
