Hair Poll

Regardless of the enthusiasm of customers, my hair has reached that awkward stage where it's long enough to bug me but not long enough to tie back in an archetypal middle aged bookseller PONYTAIL.

I've added a poll to give you, my loyal readers, a voice in its fate.

I do enjoy the Siegfried-esque quality of my current mane, but I've never had much energy for maintaining a 'look'.

My hair has been on a boom/bust cycle for the last 20 years or so.
Until a few years back, I would let it grow until it started to bother me, then buzz it all off with my trusty clippers.

The wife was not a fan of this ad hoc approach, so nowadays I let it grow until it starts to bug me then pay someone to give me an unsatisfactory hair cut. My hair is a bird's nest of contradiction and swirling mayhem (like the brain beneath?) and mom was the only person who could wrangle it.

In lesser hands I end up looking like an escaped mental patient or a gas station attendant in the Ozarks.

I grew it way, way, way out a few years back and donated the resulting braids to Locks of Love, but it was a bit of an ordeal.

Keep all of this in mind as you vote on my fate!
