Haircut Help

[Elwood]

I really like my shorter hair. When I was younger, I'd let it grow past shoulders, than cut it to just below the ears every year. It was I think... 2 years ago? A year or two ago I decided to cut it short. I said, "Screw it, it's too hot, and Jamie Lee Curtis has short hair so maybe no one will think it's weird." So I did it. Well, my mom thought it was cute-- until I started cross dressing... 

LOL at your mom, sorry to hear that dude. Yeah, I grew it out when I was younger too, and in the last couple of years I've been cutting it as short as the picture in my first post, and my mom thought I looked "pretty." I used to love having it long enough to do cornrows in elementary school/high school, especially when I had the thick braid type that guys wore, and had the wind running through my scalp in between the braids 🙂 ah that was great

Cornrows are cool, and unisex. 🙂

Elwood: Not when my friend did them last time I wore them in high school. She made the braids really thin so it accentuated my "feminine" look 🙁 It made me sad.

At any rate I got my do 😀

I told the hair stylist that I was a motion pictures major and I was going to play a guy in our next production on a student film. I said I wanted the "caesar" and they took it as "I want the caesar because I'm playing caesar." I didn't say all that but hey, I ran with it. They asked me a buncha questions about the movie and I was able to lie about it with ease since it wasn't too farfetched for me. I'm technically a broadcasting major, but the two majors are nearly similar

What's most important is the stylist tapered the back like I wanted 😀 And she made my hair look masculine!! I was so afraid she was going to override what I asked for and make me look "feminine just in case i changed my mind later" but my co-worker referred me to a good stylist who did what I wanted (while ignoring the other stylist in the background saying "shouldn't you make it look more feminine :O")


THANKS EVERYONE!!!!!

Ah, yes. They need to be a moderate thickness.

Lol. I wouldn't lie. Because I'm weird, I'd say, "Hello, I want to look like a boy. Can you do that?" Lol.

I REALLY want to see pictures. Do take some, please.

Hahahaha I was so tempted just to walk in and be like "hello. I'm ->-bleeped-<-. do my hair like a boy." but people respond to lies with more enthusiasm then the truth I suppose.

I did take pictures. I don't look like a black guy right now cause the hair is still straight like I said, so "passing" is going to be 50/50 for me. The good news is, I like the short style, so when the time comes I won't be terrified about getting it short to replicate my cousins' hairstyles AND my fedoras and hats fit better now 😀 Two bonuses!!

Looking great man! *thumbs up*

The description sounded good, the pictures look even better!  Looking good there, man! 

[trapthavok]

thanks  😀

[Elwood]

Looks great!  I love it.

[Aiden]

Looks good.  And will look even better once that stuff wears off.

Good haircut, I like anything that is easy to care for.

As for: people respond to lies with more enthusiasm then the truth
if nothing else, it sure explains the political system.

AND my fedoras and hats fit better now 😀

That was one of the first things I noticed when I cut my hair, as well.    That, and how much less shampoo I needed to get a really good lather.

I had hair to my hips until I was 16, then I had it cut about as short as yours.  Had a terrible time getting anyone to do it.  Nobody wanted to cut my "beautiful long hair."  Best thing I ever did, though.  Never regretted it.

Your hair looks great.  I'm glad you found a stylist who cut it like you wanted.
