Have you ever changed something about your personal style for a job and realized that you actually like it?
If you later changed your mind and wanted to change your style back to how it was previously, would you do it, or would you think it’s better to stick with the more professional look?
For the man in this story, the thing that he changed is his hair. He is thinking about letting it grow, but he’s not sure if that’s a good idea or not.
Let’s read the whole story.
AITA for saying I want to grow my hair out?
When we met, I had long hair for years and I started a job where I had to wear dress clothes and a tie everyday.
I took a deep breath and chopped my hair for the first time in years and… I sort of liked it.
It looks good with dress clothes and a tie, and we semi regularly dress up for weddings or black tie events (she works for an organization that regularly throws galas so outside of work I am in a tux or suit once a month).
Is it time for another change?
When i first got it chopped, she said she was super proud of me and said how great it looked while wearing a suit and tie.
However I’ve gotten the nagging feeling that I want to grow it out again.
He’s not sure what to do.
It always sort of poofs out to the sides, especially when not back to it’s long length, and she mentioned that I should get it trimmed.
I said I was thinking I would grow it out again.
And she said that it’s not college anymore and that I need to get use to it being short.
Am aita for wanting to grow my hair out again?
If he needs his hair short to look professional for work, then it’s probably best to leave it short. Otherwise, he should wear it however he likes it best.
Let’s see how Reddit reacted to this story.
What does college have to do with it?

Which is more important, his hair or his relationship?

Perhaps there’s another option.

This woman loves the way men look with long hair.

Lots of famous men have worn their hair long.

There’s nothing wrong with men having long hair.
If they want to, they should.
