I'm in the process of growing out my hair. Lucky for me, so is my roommate.
Right now, my hair is in the awkward "frat boy" stage. The awkward stage doesn't last very long in the grand scheme of things, but it can feel like forever. Beyond that, every stage between your initial pixie cut and your goal length can feel like an awkward stage.
Here are some of the most common things I've heard since I decided to grow my hair out.
"Are you growing your hair out?"
Nope, I love this length. "Frat boy" is the aesthetic I've been aiming for!
*hair grows a little* "Wow, your hair has gotten so long!"
Has it? Has it, really?
"At least you're pretty!"
That doesn't make me any happier about this mop, but thanks. I guess.
"Why don't you just cut it?"
I don't look like this by choice, but no. I'm not gonna cut it.
"Short hair must be so much easier to style!"
Yeah! If you think that pomade, straightening, hairspray, and only being able to shower in the morning is "easy".
"Your eyebrows look really good!"
They're front and center, so believe me–I know they look good. They better.
"I like your hair better long."
Good thing I'm growing it out, then.
"You look like a lesbian now."
Hair length is synonymous with sexual orientation, so... Yeah. I get that.
