For some reason I grew my hair in yr 10, right down past my shoulders- imagine fabio or hurculeas hair. In regards to public oppinion of it, I expierienced a mixed bag of nuts- some wanted me to keep growing it and suggested dreads, others were "you look like a girl!". Thats a key issue I think, if your a guy with a girlish figure sometimes its just rude to have long hair. For example one day I was reading a notice board and was like "who is this chick in front of me?", of coarse it wasnt a chick but one of my guy house mates... damn that was disturbing... Any way where was I, um, thats right hair... I once saw on TV a woman that made pillow slips and other material goods out of hair and even sold them... maybe all us unemployed long haired gits can work for her?
