So, i've been seriously considering cutting my hairs... I like them, but taking care of them takes me too much time plus I'm getting bored of them.
Has anyone on here ever made such a drastic change? Did you regret it? Share some experiences please... :D
PS: I've been having long hairs for 5-6 years...

I did it last year in July after having long hair for around 5-6 years like you.  I don't regret it for a second.

Showers are a lot quicker since I'm not pulling knots out of my hair.  I got used to having long hair since I never had to worry about "styling" it before going out.  I know it's more socially acceptable for a man to have shorter hair, but that's not why I did it.  I wanted a change, and the haircut got me one.

I had just come back from university before I cut my hair, and now I wish I had it shorter back then so I'd look better to the ladies on campus. LOL

I had long hair for 10 years, but inherited baldness made me look like a joke, so off it went. Honestly I miss my long hair, but mostly when I�m bangin� at shows.

I thought I was going to miss it too, but so far I do not.  I'll look back fondly at my long hair when I'm 40 I'm sure. LOL

I always hate getting hair cut, which is funny because it's a nightmare.

I don't have "long" hair. It's big. when it grows it gets curly and crazy and everywhere.
When it gets unruly I stop messing with it. When I come out of the shower I do what I can then leave it.
Besides, long hair is so metal.....wild and unkempt is so much more post-metal Cool

Didn't wanna go skullet like Devin? LOL
I actually have been cutting my hair more often now, since I am trying to do the whole work thing. Cry

Also, I've always prided myself on being alternative, or post as I'd call it now.
I love being with my younger brother and his metalhead friends. All black, long hair, death metal shirts, ripped clothing, beards, the denim jackets with patches all over.

Then there's me in my regular jeans, plain shirt, clean shaven fave and 60's style curly psych rock hair. Rocking out with them.
I love it. Big smile

The best that I was ever able to do when I grew my hair "long" was the Tom Petty look, and it never really worked for me very well.  Now that I am 40, I do look back fondly on those days, but I definitely prefer my hair shorter.  It always feels so good to get a haircut after I have gone 2 months or so without one.

I never realy hade long hair, i tryed some times to grow it a litle longer, but it dident work out, i yust dont think i whuld fit in it, so i keep it short. And then again i never understod why you need long hair to be a hard rocker, but i listen to so much difretn music so im no true hard rocker i gues. And i always prefered to look normal, and long hair whuld probobly yust get in the way but you never know 1 day maybe i get some wierd idea and start growing it, its not to late when you still got hair on your head, and i got pretty good growth, and im very happy for that, the horror of starting to get bald! Shocked

I had long hair for several years, cut it last April.  It really was a lot nicer to have short hair, and most women definitely prefer it, but I did/do miss it quite a lot.

I grew a new friend on my upper lip to help with the loss

Long hair only looks good on men if you are David Bowie. 

Most people don't realize this, but Labyrinth was actually a documentary of David Bowie's daily life at the time.

So you should cut your hair. I've never had very long hair, but it gets annoying to deal with when it's been a long time since I got a haircut, I can't imagine how annoying it would be if it was shoulder/chest length.

A week ago or so I grabbed my ponytail and cut it off almost all the way. Now I've got this kind of kurtcobainish length. I had a long hair in 2005 as well when I had to cut it for military service, that hurt back then but now after growing it back I was getting increasingly bored with the long whip. I hardly ever unleashed it even at metal gigs. Still, I'm not ready to have a short short hair, it would need constant recutting. I'm cutting it when the baldness becomes too much to handle.

Never had long hair. I've had a buzz cut for a looong time.

As a result, I haven't combed my hair in years. Cool

Cut it once, since I had to join the army (compulsory service in Greece). It was a traumatic experience.
I've grown it back since then and hopefully I won't have to cut it again. Thankfully, my wife prefers long hair.
