The time I tried growing my hair out, I kept waking up with it in my mouth so I ended up cutting it whenever it got past a certain length anyway because it was annoying me too much. Nowadays I'm currently battling some sort of skin condition on my scalp so I might as well just buzz it all off. Easier access for medication and letting it breathe as it were just feels better. Maybe I'll try growing it out again some time after this clears up. But probably not a whole head worth of hair grown out, my general preference is what I call a lazy hawk. It's a mohawk, but I don't actually ever put it up because that's a fuck ton of work and I am a lazy person.
