:troll: part of me agrres w/ you, but part of me, is just like, leave 'em be, if they wanna' shave and be hippies, then go ahead.
My hair doesn't grow long so I just braid it and throw it back, appearence has little to do with hippies really, people just usually turn to that first because of all the media images and the fact that humans are visual learners.
I have long wavy/curly hair that is impossible to brush, and is best left alone. Yeah, it clogs the drain and vaccuum, and generally soaks up smells from things like weed and my girlfriend. I like growing it long, I think it's nice. I shave every so often. Can't really grow a full beard at the time being. Even if I could, I'd probably only have a goatee or something similar. Well. I'll try and see, sometime. Currently, I've been shaving for two reasons: 1. So kissing my girlfriend doesn't become too scratchy on her .. wherever ;] and 2. So that I have a shot at a raise and/or don't piss off my employer. I really don't think they'd mind, though. I don't know what the OP would consider me, but it doesn't matter. I am me.
