DON'T YOU DARE Cut That Hair!

I love your hair that length! It looks perfect already - it's getting even better as it grows! It suits you so well. Your face, your body. Your outfit, even.

You want to cut it SHORT?? COME ON! What? WHY? What are you trying to prove - what message are you trying to send? What's this image you're trying to change, and what are you trying to change it to?

You should know you look great, with your hair this way. You look like YOU. Who are you trying to look like?

Is this a power thing? An empowerment thing? I know sometimes people want to seize some dramatic moment, make a radical but ultimately superficial change to their appearance as a way of putting forth some symbol of inner change. Is that what this is about? Don't do it! You don't have anything to prove! Who are you trying to change into - who are you trying to be? Who are you, anyway? Have we met before? You look very familiar!

Anyway, I heard you talking about this haircut you're contemplating, and I just want to say: big mistake, don't DO it. Just don't. Please. Ask around - if the word of a concerned but impartial stranger's not good enough for you, don't take my word for it - other people will definitely back me up on this! Or else if they don't, those people aren't being true friends to you, that's all. Anybody who tells you go do this is just a yes-man. Watch out.

If you really want to make a change for the better, lose the goatee.
