Long hair, tied back, doo rag AND one of the leather ponytail sleeves.

Made the mistake of cutting my hair in December of 2011, taking forever to grow back. I'm used to having it at least mid-back length, beard comparable.

Will never have a buzz cut again, I'm not in the military anymore.

Or to quote a bumper sticker I saw a few years ago........God only made a few perfect heads.....the rest he invented hair to cover up  

Mine kinda depends on my destination and length of time on the bike.  My hair is long and straight. Straighter than a board.  So to work, I do nothing to it. Take the helmet off, comb it, no problem. It tangles some but my ride to work is short enough.  Long rides and pleasure rides, I usually put on a do rag and/or put it in a pony tail.

I have a sticker on my helmet that says HAIRDO BY HELMET!  lol

Go for it! You can get a haircut clippers for under $20, teach your wife or GF to use it, then enjoy the thrift. (Use savings to buy MC parts.   )

We'll need a picture of the shearing when done.  

(BTW, I got buzzed years ago ....   )

For the last 7-8 years I've used a FlowBee to cut my hair, & about 5 years ago I started cutting my wifes'. I keep mine at about 3/4" & hers is 2-3". I can give us both haircuts in about 15 minutes & it always looks good, not one of those gopher cuts like led me to buy this thing. The best part is no mess to clean up. She gets compliments all the time on her hair from her friends, & several have asked her who cuts hers. They're shocked to learn I do it for her but it's hard to screw it up with the FlowBee.

If ours was to break tomorrow it has more than paid for itself, & she would have me buy a new one right away. We can't imagine having to go back to having it cut the old way.

I came home from a barber that I had used for years with what my wife & daughter laughingly called a 'gopher' cut. My hair was chopped up so bad we ordered the FlowBee that night. I figured there was no way it could look worse than what the barber charged $15 for. My hair has never looked that bad again. The real plus is not wasting time going to a barber & waiting 'til he can get to you.

The guy who invented the FlowBee was a customer of my auto repair at the time. He soon made enough money he moved away & I haven't seen him in years.

The FlowBee is so easy I do my own. I use a litttle battery powered trimmer for the 'whitewalls' around my ears, & my wife does the back of my neck for me. The stronger your vacuum the better the FlowBee works, but you still need a trimmer because the way a FlowBee is made, it won't cut shorter than 1/4". I like it because with the spacers on & the trimmer turned off, the vacuum let's you see how long the hair is before cutting any off & decide how much you want to cut. You can see exactly what you're going to end up with.

You got a point there, sounds like a cost effective way to do a quality job!
