the whole "all mettlers have long hair" view is pish, and is pretty much only held by people who aren't mettlers tbh

long hair just more fun to headbang with, you feel like you're doing something with your time, instead of just looking like an epileptic having a bad fit.

You're also asked to get it washed frequently. You never do

hehe, burn

i wash my hair regularly enough now, i just couldn't be bothered when i was in school, but now I have to look good for the college laydeez

I find a real stigma attached to your hair length. I find many rockers/punks seem to write me off before even talking to me because I don't really look like a rocker. My hair won't grow long in the normal sense. If I let it go, It'll just become a mongo afro, no joking, so it's not worth the hassle. Even walking into 'trendy' rocker bars like Brux and Fibbers, I get strange looks 'cos my hair is 'normal' (I keep it 2-3blade short). I'd love to have long hair, or at least dreads, but I can't. So it reallys annoys me when some tosser gives me weird looks or refuses to talk to me (while talking to my friends, say). I mean IT'S ONLY HAIR!! ffs

That's happened to a few of my mates in Bruxelles. I tell em to screw people like that cause they're not worth pissing on. If you wont talk to my mates cause they don't look "rocker-y", then f*ck you I ain't gonna even contemplate urinating on you.

Hell it happened to me in Fibbers on hallo'ween about 2 yearse ago (on one of my oh-so-infrequent-visits to teh place). I walked in wearing blue jeans and a white t-shirt, just looknig for a couple of mates to let them know we were in Bruxelles after all. I had people looking sideways at me cause i wasn't wearing black *shock horror* Never mind the fact I had/have longer hair then them (not to mention that I was able to grow hair on my face unlike many of them

)

All rather pathetic really.

Oh, and in case anyone is wondering .. I DO look after my hair

My hair has just reached the long enough to look decent stage. AND it's naturally blonde (very bright blonde). On a guy. Which is so cool!

But yeah... I don't really like being labelled as a metaller. It's so cliché. I'd much rather be thought of as a big scary hippy (which, to be fair, is what i am).

That'll be beer. Excellent for your hair and also makes bathtime much more fun.

Had me hair long from 3rd year to 5th year.. ponytail etc.. then went on the skinhead run for the past 7 years.. wet shaving it.. 0'ing it all the time.. looking like a severe national front member.. but just the other week i decided.. fúck it.. ill get dreads.. so now my hair is about an inch long (you can start the dreading process at 3 inches) its fúcking everywhere but i really dont give a ballix.. i gel it up all spikey for headin out and in the next 5-6 months ill be getting it backcombed and planting a million rubber bands it it to hold dem dreads in place..

A wee change sure

i never realised what age demographics meant untill i hit 26.yet here i am 26,already slowing down,unable to shake my head furiously for 4 hours non stop anymore yet i still have the mane that was my primary source of pussy gathering in my teens.the reason i still have itis because i refused to sell out for jobs or other peoples idea of respectability.it is not to do with a music choice anymore;it is to do with previous experiences of mistreatment because of my hair.i encountered problems in cert when i was 18 and cut it to continue the course.regretted giving in to them ever since.i then had the pleasure of encoutering another nazi in fas(fools after school)who had issues with my flowing locks as well.he had such an issue with them that he refused to give me a reference after the course had finished even though i had the best attendance in the class.things i think have change and as i have got older no one really bothers me about it any more,but then i am in a rubbish job that no one else would do.So was all the pain worth it ? probably not;but every nu metaller(trousers made out of tents and plenty of "issues") in cork shows me respect ;and i din't sell my soul for corporate gain. i can see my tombstone already...............

I want to grow my hair long but i dont know how to do it and how long it takes. Between the shortish and long stage what do you do with it i have to keep it kind of tidy? anyone help?

Well I have been growing mine for over a year now (I used to shave it) and its down below my mouth. If you keep cutting the tips of your hair, it'll grow faster. And as for keeping it tidy, wear a beanie hat. It'll straighten and flatten it out a little. Thats what I do anyway.

superconor · 29-08-2002 12:16am

what will i do? hair is cool long or short, should i keep it the lenght it is the fring is about 1/2 centimeter from my eyebrows or let it a wee bit more or go really short? i think the lenght it is.

i really need some advice!

Stephen · 29-08-2002 5:52am

I keep my head shaved. Once the hair gets long enough to grab with my hand it gets shaved again

Seraphina · 29-08-2002 9:33pm

nothing beats a good head of hair on a guy

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 29-08-2002 10:28pm

you're tellin me!

*winks at angelwhore*

back on topic though, the worst thing about long hair is when I try to sleep.. I hate the feeling of hair against my skin.. it just really irritates me

Ph3n0m · 30-08-2002 12:52am

i've been growing mine for the past few years, and damn I look hot and sexy with it, I am one of the few people that looks like a complete dork with short hair - guess its just me

seriously i have always prefered long hair, hell even sleeping on your own or with "someone special" (glove puppets are acceptable in this case) long hair can be fun (oh imagine the hours of foreplay you can have with yourself)*

* at the time of writing Ph3n0m is a tad pissed, so please excuse him

swiss · 30-08-2002 4:04pm

Tbh I much prefer short hair. I find it suits me a lot more, it's a lot more manageable (I just don't have time for separate shampoo and conditioner

) and it is more respectable.

Fair play to Mordeth and AngelWhore for keeping their hair long. I'll bet ye get some stick about it from time to time, and more power to ye. However, the whole idea that in order to be a metaller you should have long hair is rubbish IMO. Some people just can't grow it that long (I'm sure that in a few years I'll be bald too

).

Just because it defies convention doesn't make it any more 'rebel' or 'individualistic'. Sometimes stuff like long hair, leather clothing, piercings etc can become as much of a uniform as suits and ties. It all depends on the persons outlook.

nesthead · 30-08-2002 5:31pm

i'd really love dreads but my parents wont lend me a credit card to order the really cool dreading stuff on this site (theyre afraid i will get beat up by scummers for havin dreads)

so does anyone know any places where u could buy this stuff or a place where you could get dreads done?(in Dublin)

and has anyone ever got beat up or any crap like that cuz of your long hair?

Long hair?
