Letting hair grow...

Well, after having my head shaving because I was accepted at a university (read the cultural background info), I decided to let my hair grow a bit more (touching my shoulder will be fine). I haven't done anything (except some minor adjustments) in the last 5/6 months, and it now looks so... ugly. People say that this was supposed to happen and I need to wait a lot more time to have it the way I want :rolleyes:
For those of you who have already passed through this experience: how did you manage to make your hair look human during this time? :p
Cultural Background info: it's some sort of Brazilian ritual... everytime a boy enters the university life, his head is shaved... among other things :D Girls have their ritual as well, by the way :p |

well i dunno what they call in Brazil...but neone thats trying to grow their hair out or get dreads or whatnot here needs the 'Normal Guy Haircut'. every hair cutter knows what this is, alt i dunno about translation. its pretty average with fading from short to medium length and if you tell the barber or whatever youre growing your hair out they should know the deal|
never grown my hair long btw...just a helpful tip |

| hahah thats funny im in the same boat also, I had somewhat of a shag and cut it, and now I want it back and longer, My hair is to long to put up in the front and look decent but to short to really try to put it down and claim a shag, it sucks! But once a couple months go by im sure ill be fine....just have to hold out till then |

Well, it depends on the course they are accepted in. Actually, though I had said it was a ritual for girls, everybody (including the poor boys who already had their head shaven) has to pay for it :p
Examples:
1) Paint people in white and black (cow-like) with some kind of paint that children use, stick some surgery glove (full of air) to their stomach so it'll look like cow and finally, bid them as if they were cows :)
2) Paint them (with random colours), throw eggs, powder, ..., i.e. get them dirty (this one is commonly done when people view their results at university)
3) Get some water and antacid (so there will be bubbles and stuff). Also, get a friend. Pretend you two are arguing. One of the guys will say things like "No, don't throw acid on the freshmen, it may kill them" and the other (obviously, the one with the cup of water + antacid) will say things like "I'm gonna throw, I'm gonna throw"... and, throw it on some fresh(wo)man. (S)He'll be scared to death thinking you've thrown acid on him, while the truth is: you just threw something completely harmless ;)
There are many, many more :) I guess it's some sort of Brazilian tradition... is it done anywhere else? :conf:
Never done any of these (yet) though :p |

I used to be in the Corps of Cadets, which is like a miniature version of VMI and Citadel but the difference is, it is part of Virginia Tech. I had a full ride Navy scholarship but i had to drop it after a year cuz engineering and 5 am PT was kicking my ass. I still go to Virginia Tech but not in the academy.
Here we call freshman haircuts, Birth Control haircuts . . .cuz you know :) |

5 a.m. PT???? .... you sound like you can't handle the 'life'... lol.... try 4 a.m. PT here man. It isn't really that bad... it makes you feel fresh and in shape all day, plus you can kick anyone's ass....
we don't call shaved heads "birth-control haircuts", b/c over here, shaved head = pimp.... like i said, in operational its the thang.
however, those stupid ugly BIG-rimmed brown framed glasses they give you in basic training we called "BCG's" (birth control glasses), b/c you would NEVER get laid wearing them...
should have stuck with the ride through college - sounds like it was a good deal. Military universities are rated some of the highest in the nation. Good luck in whatever you do... |
