All my life I had my hair long. Since this summer I was really "fat" up with it. Took me years after the shower, to comb etc...so I needed a radical break. I have decided to RENMAN my hair :dude

See for yourself...

Nah, that's a LOT more hair than Renman has these days! ;)

Looks fine to me, and a lot easier to take care of, for sure. Gives you more time to spank those planks! :rockya :thumbsup
 
Wow, totally different look. Looks good!

I hear you on the long showers. Mine isn't even very long at this point, but it's a big pain to shower compared to when I buzzed my hair.
 
Something happened to my hair, too - it disappeared. Maybe I'll find it someday.


The people sipped their wine
And what with God there, they asked him questions
Like: do you have to eat
Or get your hair cut in heaven?
And if your eye got poked out in this life
Would it be waiting up in heaven with your wife?

Maybe my hair'll be waiting for me in heaven.
 
Slick!

Easier to care for, and much cooler in warm weather... although I don't think that's an issue for Germany in November...:thwap

I'm a dork.
 
Nice change. I have my barber use the closest blade possible next to "cue ball". I just get out of the shower, shake my head like a dog and my head's pretty much dry. lol No muss, no fuss and not all of that sissyfyin' hair product stuff.
 
Ive sported that look or less for years. Have to say it is about low maintance as it comes. I even had a gargoyle tat'd on the back on my head. I have to say though and maybe its a little mid life crisis ordeal or something but Im missing my long hair from my 20's alot lately. Even told the old lady if I get this job I got a lead on and they make me shave off my goat tee, then Im growing my locks back.

+1 here. I used to have very long hair, but now it's buzzed I found so many things more enjoyable.

I learnt to scuba dive with long hair, man what a monumental PITA that is. If you've ever tried to do the mask recovery skill with hair halfway down your back you'll understand. Now it's so easy and no annoying hair caught in the mask.

Also better with short hair activities include..
Motor and push bike riding (no "helmet hair")
Swimming
Bathing
Travelling
Hat wearing

and more!!!
 
Wow, that must have been strange to get used to at first! It works well for you, so you did good.

Simple, shorter hair is one of those wisdom moves. As we (hopefully) get wiser with age, we tend to seek simplicity over complexity, and quiet over drama.
 
Hmmm...all of these comments are making me reassess my hair situation and leave me wondering if I should ditch my hair and go back to buzzed...
 
It's day 4 after I have buzzed my hair and I must say I am loving the new haircut already a lot. It feels so darn good. Especially while doing sports I had to correct my ponytail all 30 seconds, when hair came out. This morning I was washing my "leftover hair" and it took me 1 minute. It's the best thing I could do plus I like the new look pretty much!
 
Well I did a similar thing just last night:

Much easier now. Just take a 3mm cutter head and scrape away now and then!

Welcome to the club d :)

Looks pretty cool!
 
Actually just now I decided to take it one step further while at it. Stalag 5...

Man, Dee... That's a different look for sure. :)

I've often pondered doing the same thing. I've just never had the guts to go through with it. I might as well, mother nature is taking me there against my will anyway.
 
Yeah, it's getting so annoying that it takes like 2 years to grow a proper hair and even then it's pretty thin and limp...and you need to have it shaped and cut every other month the minimum...I think I'll try to keep it totally bald for a li'l while...but it's surprisingly hard to really scrape it all off too...much easier to just use a 1-3 mm machine cutter...so maybe I'll go with that anyway. Only shave it all off for special occasions :-)
 
Yeah, I liked the little bit of stubble look better than completely slick. That would give you few days between having to use the clippers also. A little less maintenance.
 
If you've never shaved your head like you shave your face, take it easy when you shower.......it may be tender. Like if you throw hot water and soap on it.
 
That haircut is going to get pretty cold in Finland pretty soon, methinks. I'm glad I haven't lost any hair. As big as my melon is I'd probably freeze to death without it.

Hey bro, now we're talkin! Although you still look like a hippie compared to me.... ;)
The One thing besides love of guitar Robert and I share is our hair or lack thereof.I am just a step away from the cue ball look but love it.virtually No maintenance.on the flipside I too had long hair back in the day.
