How often to you get told to cut your hair?

It seems everyday, I'm told to cut my hair or put it up in a pony tail.
Poser metalheads tell me that shit a lot to.
Is this just something all headbangers have to hear?


VoodooChild's picture

All the time.

Ironhead's picture

Never in my life have I heard that if you don't count the sarcastic jokes me and my friends throw to each other "Cut your hair and get a job!".

why the fuck do you care what other people say?

Being a metalhead on the mexican border with coked out fuckheads all around you can start to eat at you after while.

LaUlvenDrepe's picture

I'm pretty sure it's not that he cares, otherwise he would have probably cut it or be asking "should I cut my hair?" or something like that.

Personally, if I cared what others thought I would be a very different person. But yeah, the stupid remarks coming from every day jackoffs get annoying after the first thousand times. It's irritating to have to constantly hear criticism from other people who look at you like you have a dead rodent on your head and treat you like you have the plague just because you don't blend in too well with the rest of society simply because you are yourself.

The most annoying remarks are those that are hidden with a joke. "Hey, I'm going to go get a haircut, wanna' come with me?"

Ha-ha-ha-ha... that's the first time I hear such brilliant comedy the likes of which this world has never witnessed. Come on...

Ironhead's picture

It's very annoying to hear "life advices" from low IQ conformist scum, no matter how self-secure and proud you are. Well, I didn't need those remains of my hope for humanity anyways.

LaUlvenDrepe's picture

Hahaha, WHOOPS!

Didn't mean to destroy your last traces of human hope there man!

Ironhead's picture

They were so dear to me! But seriously, when a nightclub fashion following cunt comes telling you "With that hair and clothing you can't score any pussy, that's the most important thing in life. What?! No way, music can't be so good and I totally refuse to understand that people might actually be different and enjoy different things to different extents"...

VoodooChild's picture

Ever heard: You must have overslept, because you didn't had time to do your hair. Or it must be bad weather because your hair is a fucking mess. I know it seems no big deal but it's annoying and totally unasked for IMO....

LaUlvenDrepe's picture

Dude, I've totally heard them all! Haha.

It's not even JUST the hair (although obviously that's what gets the most unwanted attention), it's also the facial hair. I don't know how experienced you are with us latin people (you being on the other side of the world and all), but yeah I'm Cuban and that's pretty much like being bigfoot. Haha. Hairy-as-fuck.

My beard grows in like two days, so one day I just decided to just trim it instead of constantly having to shave. But that's not enough for people here apparently, facial hair stubble is just TOO MUCH! People think I'm homeless because everybody else is clean cut. Not my fucking problem though. I'm sure eventually I'll find someone who will like it!

VoodooChild's picture

I know what latin people are like. Got classmates from ecuador, mexico and Argentina. The Argentinian is really hairy I can tell you. I'm Dutch/Indonesian and though I'm almost 18 only thing I gotta shave is mustache and chin.... No cheeks! And just too think of it the worst 'joke' of them all is when they ask me if I go to a barber sometimes, and I say yes but I wanna grow it so only for the dead ends because dead ends just look bad IMO. And they say: then you should be bald because everything is dead. Like in because it's long it probably is gross too. And I probably wash myself more then they do. Oh and another nice one is they try to tell me that because I don't use hairgel (don't know if it's called that in the US sorry..) my hair doesn't get enough oxygen so I will be bald before I'm 20. And so if I don't want to be bald I should cut it short and put it under an vacuum helmet of gluelike shit.

LaUlvenDrepe's picture

Haha, I had no idea that if you didn't use gel your hair "doesn't get enough oxygen..." Hahaha!

I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure that's not the case, at all, in any way shape or form. :D

VoodooChild's picture

Yeah some people are plain idiots. Another iritating one: girls constantly asking if they can straighten my hair. I have really thick curly hair wich I have in a shoulderlenght Joey Ramone style ATM. so straight I look like fucking Cleopatra!

VoodooChild's picture

Hmmmm noticed too late that last sentence could sound a bit strange....

LaUlvenDrepe's picture

Hahahaha! I thought it was hilarious!

VoodooChild's picture

Yeah but walking around at school like this http://www.buzzle.com/images/hairstyles/hair-cutting/cleopatra-bangs1.jpg with an burned ear because the girl can't use a damn straightner isn't as much fun as you would think it is. Fact I was in my make-up fase didn't help either.

wehavearrived49's picture

Oh hell. Been there hahaha. Straightening ones hair can actually fuck it up. It's best to leave it alone. Certain girls can be mad at me if they want but so many of them put SO MUCH unneeded shit in their hair (some of the female headbangers on here might be able to add something to this). No wonder they start having scalp problems. It's common sense that a chemical that is too hard to pronounce has more than 30 letters in it shouldn't touch human skin. Period! I know this from experience (no thanks to a certain girl). What is it with people these days? Is curly hair a thing of the past? what? Long hair on a guy automatically equals that of Oscar the Grouch. Well, I don't live in a trash can and I take at least two showers every day. People amuse me!

I blame pop stars and people that think a guy should be so "pretty" that he practically becomes an anime character.

Fashion/pretty boy obsessed girl: I want a "dangerous but hot looking man".

Me: What? You mean that of a really attractive rapist?

WarAndPain's picture

I've always thought curly hair was pretty metal, even if when I headbang a lot it magically doubles in size. People seem to think that anything not perfectly straight needs to be 'tamed'... why!?

One of the good things about being a girl is that nobody tells me to cut my hair (except my mum, who thinks I should go back to my old really short haircut). I haven't had it cut for two years, actually, should probably arrange that soon XD

Blüdrayne's picture

lol. when i was about 15 my school told me i needed a haircut. i shaved my head the next day.
they gave me shit for it, but i just told them i was just trying to save cash on haircuts... which was true.

BeefCakeAssThrash's picture

Didn't give a shit when I was 11, still don't give a shit now.

Bombenhagel's picture

Ok I say It in the words of Saint Vitus

Every time I'm on the street People laugh and point at me
They talk about my length of hair
And the out of date clothes I wear

but don´t care about what other people say.

Thanks for the link, didn't know the song before, now I've a catchy tune :D

DeathFuckinMetal's picture

not as much as i used to, yeah there are the odd dickheads saying "get a haircut" and "girl" ect. My parents brothers and friends and brothers friends all think i should cut my hair but personally i don't care, if i really wanted to cut my hair i would have done it ages ago. But personally i like my long hair it's "my hair" and i can do what i please, personally people telling me to "get a haircut" goes in one ear and out the other. Funny thing is the only people that seem to like it is my mums friends and alot of older ladies.

Maddolis's picture

Easy there, Skwisgaar...

Rotten's picture

I cut it once a year - generally around this time of the year (im due for one now). Im a total beach bum come summer time and long hair fuckin' shits me at the beach. Never short-short though. Usually just cut it back to shoulder length or so and then i let it grow out the rest of the year. Its around 1/3 down my back now.

hm...daily...until i reached 22 or 24th birthday...THEN MY MOTHER GAVE UP :P

Elchtod777's picture

People telling me to cut my hair are mostly your average disco visitors. I couldn't care less.
Some of my friends surely would like if I cut it, but they've given up asking me to do it a long time ago :D

Tankard Emptyer's picture

Same here.

One time my friends forced me to go with them to a disco. I got pretty drunk (which is very easy for me :D), and my friends paid for all. When we got out at 5 AM two wankers shouted at me that I must have lice because of my long hair.
They were lucky, that I could barely walk and that my friends were there... They called the disco boys subhumans and that they should piss off, or they'd regret the day of their birth.
We later found out, that they insulted a MC member on their way home. Result: 2 broken noses ^^

wehavearrived49's picture

I hear ya. Well, my hair currently is at a young Tom Angelripper length. I cut mine for two reasons. Reason 1: the weather here in Alaska is atrocious at time, the worst in the U.S. and my hair had completely been fucked in the back. Reason number two: I will be doing some very dangerous work for a job and the requirement is to have shorter hair for safety reasons. It pays well and it is very hard to make a decent living up here. I live in my own two bedroom apartment by myself and that ain't cheap. It grows quick anyway so it won't be long.

I find it very and I mean VERY strange for a society that worships Jesus to somehow find long hair on men to be "repulsive". It's very ass backwards in terms of thinking. Another annoyance I feel is when other so-called metalheads judge other metalheads for not having long enough hair. Seriously, these types are some of the most douche like of the highest order. Dave Hunt of Benediction has short hair. So have many other countless types in the past (Rob Halford anyone). These are types that only know of guys like George Fisher and think that every metal guy has to look like that. Hahaha, what sad misguided fucks! I hope they end up in a concentration camp for idiot metalheads. Less idiots for us!

When ever someone tells me to cut my hair, I say one thing.
WHO DIED AND MADE YOU GOD?

BestialDevastation's picture

Hey you, over there, why dont you cut your hair?! haha x)

Necrosathanas's picture

Some douchebags whom I do not even know keep yelling that. When I was younger, a lot of people in my class and school. Well at least they've realized that I don't change if they tell so.

Maddolis's picture

Haven't been told that for years.

Deathcore.Is.Not.Metal.'s picture

I'm so ugly bald that people ask me to grow my hair.

DonDotyDarkAngel's picture

HAHA! Good one dude!

Hárbarðr's picture

Only my mum and dad, but only in jest, never seriously. And that's pretty much it, i certainly won't cut it in the next few years.

DonDotyDarkAngel's picture

No man. I never get told to cut my hair. I'm encouraged to grow it actually. Hope it goes well for you though man, maybe they'll come around.

People that think long haired guys are "bad" need to watch this movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GIsExb5jJU&feature=fvwrel

Beware of guys in business suits...they might make you lick some other chicks ass or throw a running chainsaw on you from the top of a stair well.

ConsideredDead11's picture

I used to have short/weird, emo/skater hair in 7th grade. I used to have it parted but my hair would always go inward and hurt my eyes...Plus I looked like a "grungie" like that...My teacher would tell me to move my hair, get a haircut, or tie it back.. I can't tie it back because it was too short, and I didn't wanna cut it so I just put it to the side. I personally wouldn't call it "emo"... because if I lived in the 80's or 90's without "emo" being a style, I'm sure it would be accepted. Yup:P

JUANTHRASH's picture

almost everyday by people in my school

lak89's picture

I keep mine short by choice and because I'm working, so no I don't get told to.

Panthorder's picture

The only adore my hair.

LifeOfDeath's picture

When I had a long hair before my military service, I only got positive comments about it. I never heard anyone say that I should cut it or something. At the moment I'm growing my hair back.

Mental-Vortex's picture

Almost never,but yeah,I'm female ;) But sadly enough,I DO have to cut my hair since the ends are starting to look like straw... I think I'll lose at least 10cm,shit happens.

lak89's picture

Are those called split ends? They must be a pain to deal with!

DeathFuckinMetal's picture

yeah man, they are. At the end of this year i will have been growing my hair for 5 years and every so often i have the split ends removed, it's annoying, i want to just let my hair grow for a good 2 years before trimming it again.

kertalaaki's picture

Every.Fucking.Day Hahahahahah!

TThrasher's picture

Don't hear it alot. People do say things like "Dude, comb your hair" even though i, in fact, combed my hair.

ToxikAssault's picture

Yeah, I got about 1/3 of my hair cut off in the beginning of last summer because of the dry/split ends. Now my hair is bigger and more afro-like than ever.
My friend told me that some people who don't know my name refer me as "that guy with _the_ hair".

NeedToKill's picture

Nope since they know I will tell them to fuck off lol

Albtraum's picture

If someone says: "Cut your hair..." (and I hear it a lot too...) I always answer "Start to grow sone..."

metal_thrashing_dad's picture

I tell myself to cut his hair almost every one and a half months. I'm my own master!!!

DevilzForce's picture

no offence,but some of you guys walk around like homeless fucks all the time... if someone says something about that i feel it's deserved!
on the other hand, if you comb your hair regularly and put it in the ocasional ponytail when called for, i don't see what the fuss is about...

you'll all cut it eventually when you grow older,even bruce dickinson did it when he claimed he would never...at the end of the day... IT'S JUST HAIR!
i trim it these days cuz my boss demands a kept appearance, but when i still had long hair i used to comb it back and put it in a braided ponytail,still looks badass and also neat and tidy.
you guys can all keep yelling that you tell people to fuck off or that you will never cut it,i alreadyknow you will eventually, such is the cycle of ametalhead ;) i can know... i'm old...

Ironhead's picture

And where is Steve Harris's haircut? He was told to do that in the 70's and still hasn't. How about the Nifelheim twins? They've lost half of it already and still refuse to cut the rest. For some people a career and good income (not like Harris wouldn't have it) aren't the goals of life, for which they'd sacrifice their long hair, wearing band shirts and leather & studs etc. Too many seem to be some kind of closet-metalheads with the attitude "I don't need to prove anything anymore so I just go with this havaiji shirt my wife bought me and this short hair feels so mature. Those people who don't do like me are just childish and later they'll see... They'll see"
Some of them will NEVER see...
Ponytail while working is fine but I don't understand people who keep their long hair tied every-fucking-where, including shows, bars etc... If you don't like long hair swinging around your head and face, cut it off!!!

lambofgodfan00's picture

Only when my bangs cover my eyes. Other than that, everyone's fine with my hair.

VoodooChild's picture

Hahah got the same with the bangs. Always shit like: I can't see your face or shit. And I always tell because I've got my hair like this I can't see you either and I wanna keep it that way.

Ironbound's picture

Everyday. People also ask "are you ever going to cut your hair?". Or "you should donate your hair to cancer." Fuck you. I've worked hard to grow my hair out. If you care so much about it, you donate yours.
