    I’ve been away from work for 5 weeks and I’m going back in two days.

    In that time I’ve grown my hair and I really like it. I’m sure there will be pressure about it, but I’m kinda prepared to keep it anyway.

    On top of this is the family talk of “when are you getting a haircut?” You all know the drill - longer hair looks more unprofessional, blah blah.

    But I feel like at least I should be able to have this - something that makes me happier. Especially as the days can be long grinds.

    But then the work environment may be more stressful because of their commentary.

    What are your thoughts?

    If you like it as it is, you can try to just keep it for some time and see how it goes. You can get a haircut at any time you want. But ultimately you shouldn't care too much about what other people think. Also, most likely there will be someone who comes in your defense because he/she thinks your hair looks better this way.

    If after explaining the situation and everything else fails, you can still look for a longer haircut. Try going to a different barber and tell him that you want your hair longer, or how is it that you want it.

    I think you’re right. I’ll read their reactions tomorrow and then I’ll make my judgement call. In an ideal world I wouldn’t cut it, and I shouldn’t have to worry about this. If I do get a cut it could be for the ends, and nothing too drastic.

    Especially when you’re in a job that’s somewhat important.

    You are over 30 man. Do what you want with your hair. If there is a certain neatness required at work, just put it in a pony tail or whatever. And well done on 88 days! :)

    Ha, I wouldn’t do that. Thanks for the reply though!

    Thanks, it means a lot. I have mental challenges with day to day life (looking for love and such) but I’m pushing on. And yeah, I totally get agree in theory. I think this is part of my journey in terms of being me.

    Yeah, exactly! Don't forget the words under the big NOFAP heading at the top of each page: Get a new grip on life.
