Are you hiring?!?!? 

I used to have really long hair until I sold my soul to the business culture a few years ago. It funded my transition though. It's tough being the square peg in a world of round holes, as some of us know. The holes being ->-bleeped-<-s who generally don't like anyone that isn't a clone like them. My last job I reeeeally stuck out like a sore thumb. A somewhat flamboyant not yet full time semi androgenous person in "guy" mode who wears earrings. Yeah. 

On the original topic, I am using John Frieda frizz ease to help my overly curly locks but it doesn't seem to be working. I think it will be more managable when I grow it out.

No. Unfortunately I have all the drivers I need right now. And yeah, they dress and look how they want. But driving trucks, you can get away with just about anything except drug use. Well anything as long as you are a safe driver, make it seems like you follow the CVSA regulations, take care of the truck and equipment and don't have accidents. My rules are: Take care of my truck and equipment. Don't drive stupid and kill anyone. Don't trash the interior. Use your best judgment when it comes to the bad weather and sleep when you are tired, I will handle the company if they have a problem with it. And please take showers and be clean and don't stink up my trucks. And that is it.

As for Frizz Ease. That is some magical stuff for curly hair. It don't make your hair greasy or oily looking and keeps the curls really smooth and soft. I live in a high humidity area and it does wonders.

In my "past life" I owned a successful aircraft repair business and my customers included the most obvious richest men in the world at the time, to say I had to have a certain "appearance" is an understatement for sure.
  Now I'm doing something completely difference using my artistic skills and my appearance isn't that important and long hair is no big deal at all, much better

Yeah, it kind of sux that in the land of the free, we have to look "presentable" to be successful in some areas. Could be why I'm such a failure. But at least a free failure.

Just go and get it styled, if it's long enough get extensions

Update...

It was just getting toooo crazy and I ended up having it cut.  Trimmed, to be more accurate.  I found a coolish little salon in town that was very highly rated - nothing fancy, just a few steps above Hair Cuttery.  I explained exactly what was going on (early stages of MtF transition, want to grow hair out but it's just too unruly and scruffy at present, don't cut anything off the top, etc.)  She was extremely understanding, trimmed only the teeniest little bit off the ends to smarten it up, and gave me a good education in how to care for it and style it during this awkward stage.  I'll definitely be going back to her once it gets out of control again.

It looks far better now, even though it's probably been trimmed no more than 1/4" (half a month's growth?)  Cost me $30 because it was still considered a guy's haircut.  Literally the first time I've ever spent money on a haircut I've been happy with.

Sounds good. Be sure to get that stylist's name so you can make appointments when she's there. Good luck with your grow out.
