I just got a haircut, and I really like it ! It has been growing and long for the last couple of years, but I decided that i would like it trimmed on the top. It is kind of like what they used to call a “shag” haircut, and I guess now, it is just called “layered”. Anyway, it is still long at the back but the sides and top are shorter and layered. It is really easy to take care of and not in my face like the long hair sometimes was.

I used to have really long hair back in the band, for a few years after that it was down to my shoulders. By the time met Cindy I was getting fed up with having to spend so much time keeping it clean that I came within an eighth of an inch of a shaved head. Cindy didn't like that very much. So I grew it back out.
In 2022 it was almost back down to my waist, and it was starting to turn white like my long Gandalf beard. Then I got Covid, lost Cindy and ended up in three different hospitals for 96 grueling days. While in was in a hospital in Sabastopol, California, two CNAs came and said the were going to wash my hair. I had not had a shower in over a month (bed baths every other day made that tolerable) but my hair felt pretty nasty.
They put this thing that looked like a shower cap on my head, and somehow washed my hair with it. It got my hair pretty clean, surprisingly enough, but my hair was pretty thick and the wimpy little comb they were using was not working. So the CNA who washed my hair went to Walgreens and bought a brush on her lunch break. But by the time she got back my hair was a matted, tangled mess. The brush she got could only do so much. She came in the next day with some detangler spray, but that too failed.
There was a beautician who did haircuts but she wanted $18 for one, which I didn't have. So I thought I was going to be stuck with it like that until I got out of the hospital. About a hour after she talked to me she came back and gave me one for free. I found out later the CNA paid her for it because she felt like my losing my hair was her fault. I knew it wasn't, and I knew she had kids to feed, so I called my daughter and had her send me $30 and paid her back. After all, it was easier to keep clean...
But after all that hospital time was over, my hair has turned all white, it's a lot thinner and I'm losing it a lot faster. I told my son "I brushed my hair and threw half of it in the trash." But in two years, it's halfway down my back again.
One day I was sitting in my Docs office and this guy walks up to me and says "Are you Leon Russell?" I just smiled and said "No, he died in 2016."
But I do have to admit, there is a striking resemblance.

Me too. Before that forced haircut, I had not cut my hair for 20 years.

My grandson has long hair. Some of my redneck relatives seemed to not approve of that. I told them, he gets up and goes to school without me nagging him. He gets good grades in school. He never gives me moments worry. He's a good young man. As far as I'm concerned, he can let it grow down to his ankles. That pretty much shut them up.

I just cut mine from medium to short yesterday, right below the ears now, which I keep it up most of summer.
