Getting your hair cut.

[Hawk of Battle]

I have what's apparantly called a "double crown", which basically means my hair looks like shit no matter what I do with it. When I was younger I used to get it cut short, just so it would take a long time before I had to have it done again. At some point during the regrowing period it would eventually reach a point where it would look like what I would hesitently describe as "ok."

For the last 4 years though I have let it grow longer than ever. I have had exactly 2 haircuts during that time, mainly due to upcoming job interviews (apparantly you need to look smart and neat or some shit or people won't employ you and then you don't get money and starve to death). It still looks like shit most of the time, and it's awful in the wind, but it saves me a ton of money on the extortionate haircut prices and I mostly now just don't give a shit how I look, so I prefer to keep it this way and have done with. It's also warm in the winter and I hate the cold.

I fucking hate my hair.

I love getting a haircut. I love the feeling when the short hairs in the back of my neck are so short they're fuzzy to the touch, and I absolutely love having a hair dresser fondle my hair. Ok, fondle is probably not the right word, but it sorta feels like it sometimes. Almost orgasmic. (Can I say that?) Also, my hairdresser knows what I like much better than I do; she's given me different styles every time and I've loved them all.

I like getting my hair cut for those same reasons. I don't get my hair cut often (last year I only got 2 haircuts) because my wife likes it when I'm kind of shaggy looking, but when I do get it cut, I go short because I like the way it feels. It's a lot easier in the morning too; I have a lot of hair.
As someone who "does" hair sometimes, I think fondle is the right word...especially if you're both enjoying yourselves. OP probably feels like he's being "groped." It depends on your perspective. I get really into cutting my wife's hair if she's having a good time with it too but sometimes (like if we're cutting a lot off), she gets a little nervous and just wants it done quickly. But I've found that most of the girls who refer to it as an "orgasmic" experience usually get a little buzzing done. I can see that, there are a lot of sensual nerve endings on the scalp.

I love getting my hair cut. The actual cutting is just something I need to get done, but the touching is what makes it enjoyable. Ever wonder why teenage girls braid each other's hair? Because it feels like HEAVEN. If my hairdresser's young and attractive I almost always get a little oxytocin-induced crush on her. It's a real pity there aren't more straight male hairdressers...

I love haircuts!
I love getting my hair brushed and played with. I'm like a pony.
Last time the hairdresser did a fab job and I felt great afterwards.
I think I'll go for a haircut on Friday actually.

Hair is important to me, if my hair looks good I can forget about my ugly face

Spoiler: last 'do! Hope he can do my hair again!

Emmy you are beautiful so shut up...


But I agree. I LOVE getting my hair brushed and played with. I don't feel like a pony though. At the moment I'm growing my hair back out from practically chopping it all off and keeping it short all last year. So my hair makes me look like a little emo boy. Especially since I just dyed it dark burgandy again. Long hair bothers me but I want my hair long for haunt this year so I can do my foxtail dye job on it.

I do get the buzzing done. It's the most amazing unintentionally sexy feeling in the world. :3 I freggin' love having short hair.

 

[PureChaos]

I don't mind it. I've been going to the same place for the past few years and it's fine. Everyone is really friendly, I'm usually in there 10-15 minutes tops and that's it so it's not exactly a chore. I find it difficult to find a place I like so, even though I moved out the area 18 months ago, I have family that live there so stop by the hair dressers when I visit and my hair needs cutting.

I know this is silly, but I cut my own hair. It all started in 3rd year University when i was working from when I woke up until about 2 - 4am every single day (even weekends) all semester. So I just went and bought a hair cut kit and tried to do it myself. I figured I'd seen them do it dozens of times in the mirror, I could figure it out. It's actually pretty easy when you have short hair.

 

[Artina89]

My hair is shoulder length, and I try and get my hair cut every six to eight weeks, depending on how busy I am. I also detest having long hair as I found it really tiresome to maintain. That, and I work in a laboratory, so it is probably better to have your hair fairly short, or at least fairly easy to tie back. I don't mind getting my hair cut, the hairdressers I go to are friends of my mother, so it is quite a nice atmosphere.

 

[Rewdalf]

Did the long hair thing in High School.
A lot of maintenance for nothing. Looked like a rapist on my old driver's license.

Keep it short nowadays, and not just because I'm balding in my early twenties. That just makes it easier...
My hope is that I'll just end up thin like my father, instead of completely bald like my uncle...

 

[Boris Goodenough]

Used to let my hair grow out a bit, have a haircut about 4 times a year.

Now I have buzzcut and shave my head every 2-3 weeks. I don't mind really, when it's this short it's ridiculously easy to maintain.

Also, I've estimated to have saved about eleventy trillion pounds on shampoo.

You know what, I will go and give myself a the 1 mm treatment right now!

 

[Evil Moo]

I can't be bothered with haircuts. I tend to have a few inches off every so often, but even that is increasingly rare these days. That said my hair is reaching a length that is becoming cumbersome. It is currently about half way down my back, which means it gets in the way on the back of chairs, coats, backpacks etc.

Also, as a male individual with long hair, I seem to garner quite a lot of verbal abuse from strangers including such remarks as "He looks like a fucking girl." (spoken to his friend, deliberately loud enough for me to hear as I passed them), "Are you a girl or a boy?" (drive-by derision from two girls riding bikes), and "Get a fucking haircut." (common among those in cars driving past or stopped at a pedestrian crossing I'm using, for some reason). Rather than encouraging me to conform to these intolerant people's standards, it only induces the urge to cause physical damage to them or their property. I will never understand the reasoning behind insulting a complete stranger, unprovoked. The insults themselves are weak, but the intent to insult is upsetting.

I may have gone on something of a tangent there...

I'm in college right now, but I live with my mom, who thinks MY hair MUST be short. So far she hasn't done anything crazy, so I'l let it grow and then I'll get Sokka's hairstyle from Avatar: The Last Airbender (suck it Cameron), whatever it's called.

 

[DasDestroyer]

I haven't gone to cut my hair in nearly 2 years now, and I don't regret it in the slightest - I've grown attached (hehe) to my ponytail.

 

[Mutie]

I've not been for a haircut in over ten years now ^_^ last one I had was my bro shaving it all off when I was fourteen. Now I have the Master Mane! It grants me strength, which is much appreciated considering I'm basically a scarecrow.

Thar be me:

Spoiler

Albeit a rather old pic now...

*EDIT* Oddly enough drinking a bottle of Scarecrow... Weird.

 

[smithy_2045]

I hate getting my hair cut, but I also hate having to put any effort whatsoever into make my hair not look terrible. It's a lose lose situation.

Not to mention how annoying long hair gets.

Oh baby! It makes total sense though: your running a vibrating machine over sensitive nerve endings in a very common erogenous zone. It's probably the main reason we don't see the a line bob going away; that and it looks good with almost every face.

I love getting my hair cut. The actual cutting is just something I need to get done, but the touching is what makes it enjoyable. Ever wonder why teenage girls braid each other's hair?

Lol. There are more than you think. I'm not sure who that stereotype is more annoying for, white collar gay guys or straight male hairdressers.

 

[Sir Thomas Sean Connery]

I hate getting my hair cut.

I don't ever know what to do with it and when they ask me what I want to do, I just stare blankly at them like a five year old and say "I want the same haircut but shorter". Wow tippy2k2, that's useful info...idiot

Oh god, this so much.

I've had a 3 foot ponytail/braid for the past 15 years and only recently got it cut off due to maintenance issues and not wanting to look like an anti-social 10 year old. Now I just don't know what to tell the barber.

"So what are we doing today?"
"Uh... I guess... Same as last time?"
"I don't remember what that was"
"Just do... like... a haircut... like for a normal person... where you take the scissors and make all the little hairs shorter"

I have all these wonderful ideas for how I want my hair to look, but the only person in my town is a barber, not a hairdresser so I really don't know what to ask for. It also doesn't help that I don't know any of the technical names of any of the styles.

 

[llubtoille]

About 3" hair is my favorite (on myself), still easy to manage while having enough there to do something with.
Recently got a haircut, asked for 1" all over, dude went overboard, got about 1cm left, gonna be over a month before it looks even close to normal QQ

 

[Someone Depressing]

Yeah, getting.. hair cut.

I-I do that. Just like every other.. hygeinic, normal person..

haha...

 

[MeChaNiZ3D]

I started a few of years ago in highschool and now have hair probably a third again longer than you in that photo. I don't like getting haircuts because 1. I'm a retard and can't talk to hairdressers, with the result that if they're doing something I don't like I don't correct them, and 2. It costs money. But the main factor at this point is how long it would take to grow all this hair again if I wanted it back. It's a considerable investment, and the longer it gets the more invested I am.
