ShadowWalker did you cut? You've been quiet

[Chrissy]

I hope this is the right place to post since it's regarding hair. I haven't heard from ShadowWalker since he was thinking about cutting. I was wondering how you were doing.

[Arctic]

He has been blogging since then, and no, he hasn't cut :) :flowers:

[Chrissy]

Thanks Arctic. I'll visit his blog.

[Shadow Walker]

Nope, I haven't cut it. I'm going to leave it alone for now, with the possible exception of a 1 to 2 inch trim which is what I did last year due to damage. What's been a big help is cutting out the headbanging at gigs, now I have my hair in a ponytail and wearing a hat backwards. I'm liking it so far, and I guess I must look good in a hat because I got a phone number at my last show. :p

[young&reckless]

I'm so glad you didn"t cut it. Your hair is so thick and shiny I would hate to see it go.

Hi Shadow Walker.:waving: I'm glad Chrissy asked because I've been wondering, too. And I'm glad you are enjoying your hair in a different way than before. Way to go on that phone number!;)

[enfys]

Glad to hear from you Shadow Walker!

Good news on the hair and the number. I hope you're in a happier/hairier place now.

[spidermom]

What a relief! Thanks for fishing for the update, Chrissy.

[Fractalsofhair]

Yay! I'm glad he didn't cut! Congrats on finding a good style for gigs.

Just do a long braid, then you can still headbang. Works on my knee length hair.

Ditto, ditto, ditto! :D

[little_acorn]

Yippee thats great - so glad to hear your lovely locks are still hanging around :D

[FrannyG]

I was just nosy and checked out Shadow Walker's blog to find out what he'd decided. :p Good decision, SW.

headbanging at gigs
Yes, very damaging but a fun pastime. :D

Ps, glad to see you still around here.

You are too cute!!! I'm glad you got the number. Really for all you've been through with women and hair stuff I have to say you are a really nice guy. I do hope you find someone who really knows that. I'm glad you didn't cut. I do wish you the best in your life. Keep on rockin' and keep on being yourself. (Sorry my inner Mom is coming out, I have two sons :) )

Dear ShadowWalker, your long hair is great. Be proud of it. :cool: :)

For a single long braid/ponytail, My advice would be to at least bring it forward, or (better still) loosely wrap it around your neck to protect all that "precious" long hair. Because a heavy long braid/ponytail swinging wildly will cause unnecessary tension (& perhaps even friction) to the hairs that are securely restrained on your head.

Regards.

I was more concerned about your surrounding while headbanging with a 40" broad braid. :p

[Little_Bird]

Yay! I already knew you hadn't cut it because I read your blog, but let me tell you, I'm happy for you. It was the right thing to do, you know you love your hair ;)

AND, I sometimes, very rarely, do some headbanging. As long as it's just for like 5 seconds and you are extra carefull afterwards when combing it's fine I guess. BUT, good decision for not doing it. I'm just a dance adicted lol

:D

Heh-heh! Nothing like a phone number to confirm the right decision! :smirk:

I'm so glad you made the right choice. :happydance: There are SO many different looks you can try when you have healthy long hair (a buzz cut provides just one -- and it's pretty boring after a few days!).

[Benjamin_T]

Forgot about this crucial factor as well. :p That in the process of headbanging vigorously, it's certainly not ideal to accidentally whack others in the face with a long, heavy, and healthy (type iii C) braid. :eyebrows:

[CrisDee]

Whew, so glad to hear you decided not to cut :) And it's so nice to have the phone number for confirmation that you made the right decision ;)

Ok, it may not be ideal for those involved, but the mental image gave me a giggle. Glad you didn't cut.

Why not, I've gotten flirted with a lot because of that.

[slz]

I didnt dare asking (none of my business, right ? :D ) but I wondered and I'm glad somebody asked - even better now that I've read the answer .
I never think about checking blogs.

Yay! Good to hear. :cheese: I think a lot of guys look good with backwards hats and ponytails. I'm a girl, but I do it a lot with a braid hanging down from it, or pigtails. Unfortunately I look like a 14 year old kid when I do it. And I'm almost 30. :(
