Okay folks. Here we go again. My usual cycle of extremes with hair is upon us. Bald head or long hair. Sounds pretty girlish. I don't like being like everyone else so bald head and corn rows are out. So I decided to go with something new about a year ago before Thanksgiving, Brother Locks. I researched and came across Locks4Life to make the change. I've loved them every since. However, I've been so busy with church, school, work, and life in general that I haven't been able to get back to get them maintained.
My wife thinks I should just shave my head. There is enough guys running around with bald heads. I'd rather be unique in one part of my physical appearance. Others life the locks, if they're kept well. So, what is everyone else's thoughts. Keeping in mind it is either one extreme or the other for me. Either I’m buzzing it weekly to keep it low or I need to learn how to re-tighten myself to maintain it. What also plays into the picture is which one is less scary. I know from previous experiences the cornrows made some folks stir clear of me.
Linda and I had a talk a while ago about the hair style you wear in some ways defines you. It is part of the initial impression you leave in someone’s eye. Now that I think about Linda goes through this cycle of long hair to short hair as well. My personal preference is for long hair for some reason. No clue why. The bald head makes me feel like everyone is going for the Michael Jordan look. I’ve been blessed enough to be able to pull off a number of hair designs. From the high top fade, Ben Wallace afro, the Don King look, Lenny Wilkens look, the thug cornrows look, dreadlock look, and of course the popular bald headed look. What are your thoughts, ideas, or suggestions?
