If I had a choice, I would prefer longer hair. However genetics has instead dealt me the bald card, and even when I had a full head of hair it still wouldn't grow much more then shoulder length before it just became a giant bozo the clown/pum pum shape. Even though I'm going bald, about 75-80% of my hair still grows. I just wish I didn't have to shave it every other day to maintain the look, but that isn't in the cards either, more like something in between. Have been growing my beard out instead, which fortunately I have much better genes for.
