Really? I don't think so. Maybe back when I had my Jewfro 3 years ago. It was not that big but I had extremely curly hair then. Now I just have a wavy part if I do not do my hair properly. My sisters friend insisted on doing it the way it is in that picture, I prefer to part my hair and comb it neatly. Anyway to sum this up I put about an hour into my hair each day, I am probably the only man in the world to do that.

Oh, you'd be surprised.

Well, to people like myself who have very thin, weak and dry hair, any amount of curliness is to be commemorated in due hobbitness respect. So, I tip my hat to your hair.

Thank you for tipping your hat off to my hair. I am surprised that your hair is not any bit curly since most people I know with thin hair tend to have curly hair after a while.

Unlike us who are cursed with thick, un curly, un hobbit-like hair...

I would rather have straight hair.

When I was really young, my mother used to spend hours before anything 'formal', curling my hair with a hot iron. It never worked, not even with aqua-net.

No coincidence, she has curly hair.
So yes, I'm familiar with the downsides of curly, but I admire it none the less, since I never could pull off an awesome hobbit look to save my skin.

Yes you'd be surprised. I tend to just get it practically shaved all off because I don't like putting effort into my hair, but my roommate goes through a lot to maintain his curly hair.

I'm a girl, my hair reaches my lower back, and I brush it every two or three days & never use any kind of hair conditioner. (Now I'm wondering if it's Lommy or Greenie who manages to come in first and say, "And that's why it's in such a horrible condition!") But when it gets crappy enough, I'm just going to shave it off.
Anyway those were good pics, Hakon - you definitely looked like a mobster!

I think you should try long hair some day. It would be interesting.

Ah the joys of bad hair... (ahem I style hair for a living) Although I do hair on other people everyday, my hair is always a bit of a mess, I'm letting it grow out and the humidity this year has made it look rather hobbitish some days...
Aganzir...you should use conditioner dear. It's not just for your hair but for your scalp as well, keeps it nice and mosturized and keeps your natural oils in balance. Brushing your hair a little bit can make it shiny, too much can make it oily. (sorry just though since I knew I could spread some hair love)

Anyways I was thinking of posting a few new pictures of myself since I have a few where I'm dressed up at a wedding and goodness knows when I'll get to look that put together for awhile. But alas I can't for the life of me remember how to post them....would someone be a dear and help a gal out?

E-mail them to Volo who runs the photopage. (His e-mail is the same as the msn handle found on his profile. )

Or if you want to post them on this thread, you can use photobucket if you have an account, or share a link if you have them up somewhere or choose to attach a file (the option is below misc options).

It works fine and you both look good (although that kind of flash is never the most flattering light) - actually you look a bit like Milla Jovovich in that picture... ...weird?
