So apparently in the history of haircuts there have been two stages.  Before Alexander, people let their hair grow, and that included beards.  And after, many people started shaving and cutting their hair.

At the moment, there is no such thing as too much hair on the top of the head- except for afros which haven't really come back.

And the only option for me is that monk friar look, which is almost what happens when I don't do anything; or the bald.  Bald with goatee is now a cliche, and bald looks funny on me; at least to me.  So I continue to want to figure out what will look good.  Maybe hats.
