Should I get a haircut, or should I let it keep growing?
If I let it keep growing, who can recommend a conditioner or something to keep it from being so damned frizzy? :)

I wanna be a long-haired pinko hippie freak, but it gets frustrating when the hair is too frizzy :)

2. The same thing he thinks about everything else . . .
If he can't eat it, he doesn't really care.

3. Need a picture to say for sure
But I must admit I'm partial to short hair on guys.

You need a hair serum. You put it on after you've washed your hair and leave it in.

9. I have no recent pictures though
I wouldn't call it shoulder length, but it's past collar length in the back, and if I desired to do so (which I don't) The front is long enough to get stuck in my mouth on a windy day :)

13. Just be glad you don't wear lip gloss
Hair is drawn to it. Don't you have a digital camera?

21. LOL . . . I do indeed have a tripod.
I just hate being on that end of the lens and I'm trying to avoid it :). I belong behind the lens, not in front of it :0

4. grow it
Edited on Thu May-19-05 02:03 PM by tk2kewl
and use any old conditioner, just use it liberally

thats what i do


as it gets longet it will look better. your hair needs to get a little weight to it to keep it from frizzing out or looking like wings

6. I think you should keep the ends, but cut the parts next to the head
that would look totally boss, and you'd have a unique hair style.

11. Try a spray-in conditioner/detangler
I have straight hair but I have a friend with long curly frizzy hair and it keeps hers under control.

17. My hair is relatively straight, it's just very fine, so it gets frizzy
pretty easy. It's very susceptible to static and such.

22. conditioners, etc
If you're trying to defrizz yourself, Redken AllSoft is the heavy artillery.

Dove makes a conditioner that's pretty good for that too -- and way, way cheaper. "Intensive Moisturizing" or something.

Generally, anything in a bottle labelled for "dry", "very dry", "processed", or "damaged" hair will do some good.

Also, that Fructis "Smoothing Milk" stuff can help keep things under control without making your hair stiff, though it smells like Homer Formby furniture polish.

24. I say grow it
But I'm a little biased 'cause I'm growing mine out again myself.

I know what you mean about the frizz, though; my problem isn't frizz so much as an unpredictable, uneven wave. The humidity where I live doesn't help matters, either!
