Hair Empowerment

Post Reply New Topic

I grew my hair out into a powerful mane! I grew up forced to cut it, hated the look, hated the barber over sensory and being touched. I control every strand. Just a happy rant

I'm glad to hear this. Good for you!

I think my last haircut was from my GF in 1984.
It started turning white at age 28.
It was pretty fine as brown, but now that it's basically transparent it is so fine that I end up breathing it if I cough, but I'm not cutting it.

I stopped having my hair cut about six years ago. Now I just trim off the split ends.

The right for men to have long hair was a big issue with me back in the day. Pro-establishment control freaks tried to dictate my hair length. And I too had sensory issues with barbers. So I delighted in rebelling, and spent a few years with shoulder-length hair. It was a political stand.

But, as John Lennon eventually remarked, the freedom to have long hair didn't change anything politically, all it meant was that some guys had long hair.

BTDT, I'm the same. My hair is now halfway down my back. Last week I cut off a significant amount of split ends.

I also cut my fringe (bangs) and it looks fine. My hair has darkened over the years from a bright auburn to a reddish brown. I have no idea why.
