At first I grew it out of laziness. I hated getting it cut. But then my parents started saying it was time for a cut, which was reason alone not to (pre-teen rebel stage...). Then, I started listening to Alice Cooper's music, and it was drilled into my mind that I liked the look (even though I couldn't wear the makeup in school). Then I shaved my head in '06 for marching band, and haven't cut it since. LOLz One very important note: Bowl Cuts are the ugliest hairdo for guys EVER. It not only counts as long hair, but shouldn't have been invented. If you don't know what i'm talking about, think the fat german kid on The Simpsons.
