I had the same floppy bowl cut hairdo from the time it was long
enough to look like a floppy bowl cut until I was 19. It was an easy
look and easier to maintain because all I had to do wash wash it,
condition it and boom - hair did, done, do. I wouldn't cut it until
it was to my chin or there about and then I would lift it back over
my ears with a snippy snip and done. Int the meantime I would shave
the underside quite short with a buzzer so that the hair would lay
flat to my head and no look so puffy. This hairdo did me fine except
for it looked like I was a skater and that made cowboys boil over
with white hot visceral rage to see someone with long hair that was
not subtly coiffured into a luxuriously permed mullet. Like a real
man, you know? Once in an attempt to be sweet and cute I had my
sister carve my possible girlfriends initials into the hair under my
flop. I don't really know why I thought that was a good idea but who
knows when love in in the air and a poor dumb boy with more
testosterone then miles on him is trying to impress a girl. I was
really nervous to show her what I had done so I just hinted at it for
a bit and then I finally decided the time was right so while we were
waiting for the bus I told her I had something to show her and pulled
up my mop to show her where I had her initials in my scalp. The main
problem I think was that she didn't know what she was looking for and
I had really light skin and really light hair and there was very
little contrast between regular hair and initial carved hair so she
just looked confused. I tried to get her guess a couple of times and
then gave in and told her it was her initials. She was confused why I
did that but said it was nice in a weird tone and then she changed
the subject. I had the distinct feeling that this girl and maybe
girls in general are not terribly interested in having someone carve
there monogram in their hair. I took the lesson to heart and have
kept all of my protestation of undying love verbal so there is no
paper trail, or hair trail as the case may be.
