Hair Here, Hair There, Hair Everyway!!!

Have you noticed that as men get older and their hairline starts receding they let it grow long in the back (some even put it into a ponytail!), grow beards, etc., as if to say "I'm still a man!!"
I fell into that trap (not the ponytail, though LOL) and decided all it did was make me look old(er) so I stopped that nonsense and got a crewcut!

Over the years I have always fooled around with my head and facial hair trying to get 'that look' and, I think succeeded once or twice.

I've had a bare face, just mustaches, just beards (short, trimmed, long, medium), mustaches and beards, long side burns, no sideburns even an AFRO!!! In my 30s and 40s I would have the 'stylist' (that's when barbers starting charging higher prices!) spray gray into my temples--I thought it made me look distinguished and I really liked it. In my 50s that was no longer necessary--I had the gray! Now I am waiting for my hair/beard/mustache to be all white--I don't like the 'salt and pepper' look.

I really don't like to shave but when growing a beard (or mustache) it takes a lot longer and more work keeping it looking good. Now I get a crewcut twice a year and shave once a week--the rest of the week I have that actor's scraggly look which I think Don Johnson made fashionable on Miami Vice. :o)

My various 'hairs'--and to think at one time my hair was so thick I had to have it thinned out!!!





And back to this look next month!!
