I HAVE INTERWEBS! (Also, a call for ideas)

Feb 28, 2009 14:01

So, I finally have my DSL back up and running. They called me at 7:15 this morning (after I'd been up until 4:30 last night...) to ask if I had a connection now. I blearily smacked my spacebar, figuring that if I was going to be awoken unpleasantly, so should my computer be, and, lo and behold, it worked! Yay! So much catching up to do ( Read more... )

I suggest "don't". Coloring hair is really bad for it. Especially if you bleach it, which you'd have to do with hair as dark as yours. Which is ok if you have short enough hair that you keep cutting off the damage. But long hair should not be abused in such a way.
Of course, there are other schools of thought.

Well, coloring and chopping were things he was hesitant about already. There are things other than that, and he's looking for ideas he doesn't know about already. You know things about other possibilities, you should help him find those :p

Unfortunately, most of what I know to do with hair involved braiding or styling it in exciting ways. Most of which are probably too girly for Mike. And also require daily doing.

Coloring and trimming are actually both things I'm willing to do. What I'm not willing to do is loose too much length, dye it all bright green, or create a 3-foot mohawk. I'm not exactly against bright green, either, but I need to be able to present myself as a professional to people not from the Bay Area.

My ideas all involve coloring and cutting. And none of those ideas would look good on you anyway... you being a man and mostly not an emo teenager, after all
But here's something you may not have thought of; Don't part it in the middle. Try smoothing it back like this guy:

EH, it could happen.
Also, men have this amazing ability to play with facial hair. And to this I say "GROW SIDEBURNS!" Might be awesome.

Oh! You haven't seen the beard, I think. I grew a beard. Sorta.

I havn't "seen" you since Halloween.

We should do something about that at some point.

Though there are a few kinds of hair toys that can work on a guy. Hair gloves, for instance.

Or, you've been watching the Highlander series. Duncan has the best hair toys!

What, exactly, is your goal in doing something with your hair?

miatauro March 1 2009, 06:01:20 UTC

I'm not sure I'd claim there's a goal, per se, but I think the desire for external change comes from recognizing that I'm changing, some of which is even deliberate. I've even been contemplating a tattoo, but I think I need to achieve something for that.

I like the hair glove idea. :)

grow a gigantic handlebar mustache

At least once, egg whites and a crap-ton of work to make the most awesome spiky hairdo known to man! Go to work that way and make a game of walking through doorways without catching the spikes on anything. With your length, coat hangers may also need to be involved, but the brains you break would be totally worth it.

Combine it with Xarph's handlebar mustache idea and you'd be infamous!

emerald_moon519 March 3 2009, 19:06:44 UTC

Lol!

That's such an AWESOME image! Serious, one day, man, one day!
