Forgive me for posting a couple of photos here but last month I undertook a pretty big change! Before then, I had very long hair for the past 15 years and indeed the last time I was in a barber's shop, I was only 15 years old! It started after I discovered heavy metal and I quickly fell in love and immersed myself in that subculture, ultimately ending up a "metal guy" in my appearance. Over the years, I stopped being as passionate about discovering new music but by this point, long hair was pretty central to my image and I couldn't imagine myself without it. However, over the past couple of years it was clear a problem was developing. My hair was fine face on but on top I was beginning to thin quite badly and, such is the style of long hair, a fair bit of scalp was starting to show through. I put it off for as long as I could bear but eventually I had to concede that if I didn't want to end up looking like Gollum or Devin Townsend it was better to act sooner rather than later. So I went along to the barbers with absolutely no idea what to ask for and told him to sort out something that suited me or to shave the whole thing off. I know how daft it sounds, given that it's only hair, but I was somewhat nervous and hesitant to get in the chair!

I went from this:

And now that it's done, I honestly feel a lot better about my appearance! I don't need to worry so much about looking bald (for now!) and I now have the ability to have a shower in 5 minutes. I also look more respectable to the hyper fashion-conscious Italians! I loved my time with long hair but it was definitely time for a change. I dreaded that day for years but it really wasn't nearly as bad as I'd feared. 

(Apologies for lengthy post and multiple pictures but for me this was a pretty significant change)

It looks really good. I had long hair a couple of times through my life, and one time also ruined it with some bleach, plus genes mean I ended up getting very thin on top by the age of about thirty. I have to just skim over mine with a set of clippers every 6 weeks or so to keep looking vaguely presentable.

I said I'd dye my hair multiple colours if I hit £2k for Mind before shaving it. Turns out it wouldn't take if I didn't lighten it first. So my hair is now weirdly Steve Corino.

I've had the Steve Corino look in the past as well.
