My hair is shorter now, about 2 inches long, and I shave everyday. If I don't shave for 3 days, I look like osama bin laden!
Guybrush from Monkey Island? I don't even know how that is!
Oh, and I'd like a comment from a female... I trust their judgement better.
I have always wanted to spike my hair, I am a little metalheadish (not in the picture though). The only problem is that my hair is the most unstylable hair ever, really curly, so I don't know how it would stay.
