Color me green- I can only pray that my wife would be that caring and understanding. I love curls. I had my hair, although much shorter- permed and colored for years. If he likes the curls try a body wave for natural looking waves, and it will hold a set much better. Keep him in curlers and he will nevr wander. !--

Hi Stacy, Loved reading your post! Think you could get him to try the makeup and clothes to match? That would be fun! |

I sounds like you guys are having a fun. I should marry a lady like you. I've worn my hair long on and off over the years and have always preferred neater-groomed hairstyles normally worn by women over the usual messy or ponytail style most guys with longer hair do. It's always seemed to me that people are more accepting of longer hair on a man if it's well groomed-- even if the style is normally worn by women. The trick is for the style to match your overall appearance such that it looks natural on you. I guess having a slight build and softer features has helped. I have fine hair and it really doesn't take a very good shape at chin-to-shoulder length unless I set it in curlers, which I've been doing for a couple of decades. I usually use big curlers to get a nice curve style. My hair is currently about shoulder length and I sometimes set it to flip out a bit at the bottom. This is a style more commonly seen on women, but sees to suit my features well and people seem to like the look well enough. I don't go out in curlers, but you don't see many women doing it these days either. I do wear ornaments sometimes, but nothing too showy. I live in Texas where it's hot in the summer, so I'll often put it up in the back with a plastic pinch clip when I'm mowing the lawn or something. I've never heard anybody say anything about it. Sometimes, when I wear a ponytail, I'll put a couple of bobbie pins on the sides. Now and then, I'll pull the top back and clip it in a barrette behind my crown, too. This is sort of a Dave Beckman look and I've gotten some compliments for it. In the early '90s I had my hair about 24" long and would often wear it up in a behind-the-head bun or twist either with hidden pins or a plastic clip. During hot weather, I think people understood the logic in this. Keep us posted, Stacey! |

The styles I like to wear involve either clips or ponytail bands in two bunches of hair pulled back from my temples to just over or behind the ear. My hair being fine, it looks fuller this way. with a couple of large size hooped earrings or dangles, the look is just right. My wife use to be supportive befoe kids, now not so much. I do have one lady friend who is supportive. I like getting fixed up and go earring shopping with her.
Have not tried rolling my hair, sounds like fun. I have tried curled tendrals off my temples.

| hey les- i have had perms for years, not recently however. the first was a body wave, but my hair was shorter, so it was more just sticking out full. That however, with long hair would give you the wave, but also the body to hold a set, or curling iron set longer and better. Go for it.!-- |

Tommi - thanks for the encouragement. I'm sure that someday I will take the plunge and get it permed. I think I'd like a curly one, when (if) I do get it. I may wait till it's a little bit longer, though. What was it like to take care of your perms? Was there a lot of day-to-day upkeep? How long did they last? |

First- do not wait- the longer you wait, the less likely you will do it. Try one- a nice body wave. Then to get curls- roller set it on small rollers.
Taking care of a perm is all about conditioning. Shampoo and deep condition. I loved to wrap my hair in a plastic sheet with the deep conditioner - the warmth oof my head and sometimes with help of a hair dryer- kept my hair healthy. They last about 6-8 weeks and then you need a trim and it will last another 2 months. I used to perm on month one- color on month two trim month three perm month 4 etc. You get the picture. Good luck !--

| Tommi, thanks for the encouragement! To celebrate the holiday, I had my hair set yesterday. I had a blast at the salon and my hair came out SO curly. It really feels (and looks) great! |

I've often had long hair, and generally wear it in the boring guy ponytail style. Occasionally a braided pony-tail. Sometimes just loose. At home though I've put it in pig-tails, braided-pigtails and a high ponytail and worn that walking the dogs. I've also had a spiral perm, it gave me some loose curl and good volume/body. Some negative reactions to the perm but mostly positive. One female boss in fact got upset when I cut the long hair. |

| I've never had really long hair but uised to get perms. For the last year I've had my hair bleached and toned a light blonde. Was teased at first but I really like being a blonde and keep it in a short pixie. |

| i love this post - I have been really thinking about getting a perm again. I know I would 'take some heat', but i love the texture and feel of permed hair. As far as color- it sits in the hall closet waiting for me to do it.!-- |

A few years ago, my wife suggested that I grow my hair.
She roller curls it 3 or 4 times a week and styles it with every manner of hair clips, she also likes me to wear hair bows. |

I just had to respond to these posts. I've experimented with all sorts of hair accessories- hair combs, flexible combs(comb headbands, circle comb), Goody barrettes with the teeth underneath the edges (impossible to find today), banana barrettes(clincher comb, ladder barrette, teeth plastic headbands with teeth of any design, hair claws, and ponytail circle combs. So I guess I at least know something. Funny, I did these things back in 1984 way before sports players were making a big deal with their headband image. Cut me a break will you. The bottom line is that any hairstyle masculine or feminine today should be perfectly okay. Back in the 1980's I usually combed it back with gel and normally pushed it back as far as the ears. I never got into the poof in the front, just pull it back tightly with my hair down or in a ponytail with a circle barrette or ponytail circle comb. Sometimes I wear barrettes to pull the crown back- a comb worked just as well. My wife and I would work in the garden like that or I would wear it in the neighborhood like that. In general PUBLIC I wore side combs a lot. I guess that makes me a forerunner of all hair concern. this. It is easier for you today. What do you think I encounter in 1983. I still did it and it was not an attack on my masculinity. If you can't handle it-don't do it. Stop seeking for public support, Never be free if you don't. Go for what makes you happy 4!-% Bib a`abe |

| Hi I'm Sarah and I'm transgendered. I wear my hair in a wedged bob and am always coloring it. Now it's brunette with red highlights. I can't go full time yet but most of the time I'm home from work I'm dolled up. I love these chats so write me if you want. I'd love some feedback. If a guy loves pretty hair let it shine and be seen with lots of accesorries if necissary. Lol. |
