Self barbering right now? Going home 10 hours. Why didn't DUers tell me that I look like shit?

Even though a good chunk of my hair has gone from my head and it hasn’t been
cut since Oct or November or Dec* and it is really nasty looking. Including eyebrows
and mustache which are right out of nutty professor monthly. Do I do a self trim right
now?

They might have trimmed some when I was out of it.

Treat yourself to a professional cut and all that after you get home.



Congrats, glad to hear of your release from "the place."

I cut about six inches off a few months ago. It still touches my shoulders.

Its a mowhawk mullet.
I spike the upper part and gradually make it longer in the back. I twist the hair when I cut it to create the spiky effect. Than I shave my sides and done!

I am letting a strip of my hair on the side grow long as its turning white I wanna watch it get whiter and it looks cool.

Cool in the front but the party is in the back. I bet you have some people move away from
you in certain situations. Good Job!👍🏼

My kids ask me how dark my hair was when it was brown. I have to show them a picture because I don't really remember. I've had grey hair as long as they can remember too. My mustache still has a bit of the original color but my chin whiskers are complete grey.

I'm mostly bald with some fringe. I get it clipped Marine short every two weeks. Otherwise, it starts to look like Bozo the Clown.

But every night, I have to examine my ears, nose, and eyebrows for unwanted hair. I absolutely refuse to allow myself to have those gross, old-man ears with hair sprouting out everywhere. Same with my nose. I see the forests older guys are cultivating up in there and wonder why the hell? And I'm not going to have those impressive-looking, beetling eyebrows that you sometimes see on Bond villains. Those get plucked, too.

My tweezers get a workout every night.
