Well, I started by turning from black to substantially grey in my late twenties and I think it is pretty much reaching the end of that change. But now I’m noticing a little thinning up top, and I am not excited about that change at all.
Many years ago, I dyed my light hair a wonderful red for a New Year’s Eve party. That worked well, but as the dye faded it turned to pink. Yucky pink.
And in later years when a lot of gray/white started coming in I did another red job. Loved it for a while, but the new growth stripe down the part gave me the appearance of a red/white skunk.
Due to Covid, I went more than a year without a haircut and my hair got really long, which doesn’t suit me at all. Fortunately I’m now back to my normal summer cut, which is super short. My rest-of-the-year cut is either a chin-length bob or a very slightly longer version of my summer cut.
Not very often, but as a man in his mid-40s the fact that I still have all my hair is the real miracle. The other men in my family are balding (including my younger brother).
My hairstyle is influenced by the fact that rather than simply having a mind of its own, my hair has a severe case of dissociative personality disorder replete with internecine quarrels and delusional paranoid plots. It has already assassinated three combs, a hairbrush, and two blow-dryers that various individual and allied factions believed were scheming to install uniformity across them all. The battle continues.
The style wants to stay the same, but the material to work with gets more and more scarce as the years pass by.
@show_the_maw now I feel weird because I added my comment, then it loaded the first two in, and you both bring up hair loss.
And then you get to me, no hair. No style. You insensitive clods.
@Evansdoor Don’t look now but no hair is THE style.
@Evansdoor … but how do you style the hair on your back?
@Evansdoor @PocketBrain Braids, of course!
Constantly. The only thing I definitely haven’t done is a Pompadour, because if I do, I’ll have to keep going until I hit full Ruby Rhod.
@simplersimon You say that like it’s a bad thing?
Very rarely. My hair doesn’t like change.
To deal with the cow lick above my right, my hair is trained to part and falls in place on its own.
@hchavers I used to have trouble getting girls because of my cow lick.
Then I learned how to kiss like all the other guys and it got better.
@hchavers @st_ellis My one ex really liked my cow lick.
Changed twice: going in to the military; getting out of the military.

Every time I get it trimmed I move a little further away from furball and a little closer to cueball.
Cut it all off with no spacer on the clippers - about 1/8”.
Let it grow out for about a month.
Repeat.
No so much a change in style, just length. It grows (fast) then I get it cut off.

Started to lose my hair at 17. So I just decided to go with dignity and began shaving is at 25. Still rocking it 15 years later.
Due to COVID I’ve lost and am still losing hair. I’m told this will stop. Sure hope so. Women with thinning hair look a lot worse than men.
Hair style?
