Mid-June was the last time I shaved it all down, so I\u2019m now at three months of growth.<\/p>\n<p>Verdict so far: The Hanscom hairline holds strong, and has worked its way entirely over the top of my head, leaving just a few wispy stragglers up top. On the upside, this gives me a pretty decent Picard cut, though I certainly can\u2019t lay claim to his gravitas, so I\u2019m not <em>quite<\/em> the sexiest captain in Starfleet. Grey seems much more visible in my beard than on my head, though it\u2019s definitely lighter around the temples.<\/p>\n<p>Mom will be pleased to know that, while it\u2019s still too short to really be obvious in these photos (especially in shots straight out of the shower directly after having been brushed into place), it\u2019s still quite curly and correspondingly stubborn about which direction it wants to go. Bed head is once again a thing.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not sure quite how long I\u2019ll keep this experiment going (after a certain point, I\u2019ll just start to get back into \u201ccreepy guy with a skullet\u201d territory), and I\u2019m sure I\u2019ll go back to my usual \u201cbuzz it all off\u201d routine when we\u2019re allowed to be broadly social once again, but since Prairie\u2019s the only one who sees me regularly these days, and she seems to think I\u2019m cute however goofy my head looks, I\u2019ll keep this going for a bit longer, at least.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/874C938D68024F3E8E84DF5287AC6E0A-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/874C938D68024F3E8E84DF5287AC6E0A-scaled.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" alt=\"\" style=\"display: inline-block; max-height: 200px; width: auto; padding: 1px;\" class=\"sunlit_image\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DB3A8A8AFC2E476587D699DB97A3C9E2-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DB3A8A8AFC2E476587D699DB97A3C9E2-scaled.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" alt=\"\" style=\"display: inline-block; max-height: 200px; width: auto; padding: 1px;\" class=\"sunlit_image\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a bit of pandemic-induced curiosity about just how far along my hair loss has gotten and how much grey might be mixed in, a few months ago I stopped doing my monthly head shave.
