How many different haircut styles have you baws and bawettes rocked over the years?

Have you stuck with the same bowl cut or flattop since the first time you sat on the barber chair's child booster seat? Or have you evolved as some of the subsequent styles came into and out of fashion?

I usually keep the same style which is a side part when first cut. If I'm delayed in getting back to the cutters, I may go to a center part until I can get there.

Looking at old pictures, looks like my parents started me off with a crew cut, then went with the combed back Brylcream, Vitalis, VO5 look. (young me looked pretty sharp with the slicked back look). I even tried a mullet very briefly when groups like The Cars were big. Been pretty steady with the standard cut, though.

After losing it all in chemo, I let it grow back and went back to the standard cut. Surprisingly I had less rather than more scattered gray hairs,

For the last 40 years only one, affectionately known as 'on the floor and out the door'.

I don’t think I’ve ever rocked anything.

Well, at age 70, I've sported my share of different styles over the years. Buzz cuts, flattops, regular, sported "The Balboa" for a while, white boy afro for a while and for the past 30 or so years, high and tight most of the time.

I think the last time I went to a barber was not long after high school ended and have been cutting my own for decades.

I’ve tried a few over the years but always go back to the mullet, a timeless classic.

Basically two not counting little kid hair cuts.

A butt cut from elementary school literally until I walked out of Top Gun just before my junior year in high school.

Then, parted on the side like that in various lengths ever since then. Literally took my Top Gun album to the lady in my neighborhood who used to cut my hair and said, "Do this, Miss Polly."

I've recently gotten a lot of comments for this hairstyle.

I've had a bottle blonde mullet, n'sync hair, no haircut for a year, buzz cut and now razor cuts every month. I'm like a less successful, less handsome Tom Brady.

I had sort of a bowl cut when I was young, then I grew it out to where my hair was mostly all around 4 inches long, then I had a fade with a number 2 on the sides and parted to the side. Those were essentially the haircuts I had growing up.

As an adult I change it up, most of the time I go with a low fade with a side part, during the summer I’ll grow out a flow of 3 to 4 inches, and other times I get a natural side part cut with scissors only.

Chemotherapy does funny things to hair. I knew someone with deep dark brown, straight, fine hair before chemo. Came back thick, curly, and a sort of graphite pencil lead color. Very odd.

Crew cut (thanks, Dad), then the side part.
Let it grow down to my shoulders my first year out of high school while I was working pipelines.
Since April, 1980, short and combed straight back.
It works for me.
