More hi-viz fun.

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.

Is it just me that gawps in amazement when UKFFers don’t look anything like whatever they’ve picked as their avatar picture?

Yes, I too was amazed that Chris B had an actual face, and not just a massive C for a head :)

Werner Herzog and John Ratzenberger are AEW fans, and I won't hear otherwise.
