pull this hair off?

[mr.loverman]

alright so i'm a junior in college. i don't live in particularly fashionable city so i'm not too concerned with super trendy stuff. the scene is more surfer/skater/red neck than anything.

i want to indluge myself and grow my hair out while i'm young. the past few cuts have been buzzes that i did myself and im bored to hell with that.

i was thinking of the val kilmer look from heat. my face actually looks a lot like val kilmer's except slightly more slim. the only pictures i could find were from the scene where he's shooting and his hair is fucked up but i think it pretty damn cool. if you guys have seen the movie you'll have an idea of the length/style.

also i think jeff bridges also wears long hair really well .

right now my is dirty blond with natural sun highlights and its growing out. it looks kind of like the douchey spencer pratt guys hair from the Hills. slightly less bouffant looking. if thats my starting point, how do i get to the val kilmer, jeff bridges look.

i'd like to hear some tips and encouragement from others who have grown their hair out in the past. how do i do it right? i want it to be healthy and lustrous.

i want it to look cool. kind of project the wildman energy but still look stylish. definitely not hippy or homeless.

Grow it out for about a year.

My hair's about as long as that. Keep in mind, depending on the texture of your hair, there may be a certain amount of upkeep involved. Like you can't just wash and go. For instance, I have to blow dry my hair, lest I end up with a nappy Jewish 'fro.

Are you going to be back here in a year, asking about your first suit for interviews?

Your hair will grow about five inches in the next twelve months, which might be long enough to pull off that look, but it would be a shame to go through all the maintenance just to realize that you've got to go back to the spencer.

That's how long I want to grow my hair out but I don't think my hair will stay like that naturally. I have thick hair and it doesn't lay down flat :/

A lot of sun exposure isn't good for hair health. You can improve its health through dietary means, such as fish oil and vitamins and minerals. If you start on that now, by the time it's long enough, it should look "healthy and lustrous."

How can I attain the jewfro? I have straight hair at the moment and I'm lusting after that hot fro.

You can start by looking for a good mohel in your area
