Thanks Rated E! Lots of good stuff.

My hair is very thin, and I cut it myself. Also, I've been dyeing but I've gone back to what I'm fairly sure is my natural color.

This whole process is weird. Thanks for the advice!

Several years ago, I had fairly long hair. It was about down to my shoulders. One day I decided to shave it for this exact same reason. Not having to do jack shit to your hair is awesome.

I miss long hair.

But my hair thinned, and I'm a little pudgy now. And Long hair doesn't really rock well with either.

Stem cells, bro.

What the fuck is this.

Thinning hair and fat cells.

There is nothing sadder than a pudgy white guy with long hair and a thinning crown.

Well, I guess they could smell too. And have warts.

I picked up a Wahl Peanut for $50 and I'm pretty happy with it. It cuts close enough that I can use it on my face, and it has a nice long heavy-duty power cord.
I'll never go back to cordless clippers/trimmers. The batteries just go to shit after a year or so.

I love that thing. I lost mine somewhere and replaced it with a wahl cordless.

I almost never wear perfume, but when I do it's just a small dab of this essential oil that smells good. Wrist, behind the ear. It's mild, and last for a long time.

So I'm growing my hair out and I am trying to adjust to the whole extra length of time with: washing, rinsing, brushing, drying. Any long haired tnlers have any pearls of wisdom for me?

Don't you want me to succeed? I know I'm a bit tired of the short hair.

Rated E gave some good advice with the no blow drying. But I thought I'd add that you should really get a nice big-toothed comb to run through it after showers, let it air dry a bit before you use a bristle brush, helps keep tangles to a bare minimum.(I personally hate the metal prong brushes.) Also, if you want to speed up the growing process a bit, you should trim the ends every 2 months or so, even if they don't look very split yet. If you get split ends a lot/start to have unreasonably dry hair, the aussie conditioners work best.
