**Sunspace** , you know I’m a greedy guy, I don’t like sharing 😃 I’ve also checked with some of my girlfriends (female friends?, girls I know? how do you say that?) and longer seems to come out ahead, both there and here. So a slight trim it is. Will post an afterpic tomorrow, to show you how it turns out. And yet again! Thank you all for the great advice, input, and compliments - it’s been a great thread 😉 ---

As everyone was so helpful for me, I feel it’s only fair that I chime in as well! I’m going to be as unhelpful as possible though. I mean, I can’t figure my own hair out, let alone anybody else’s! 😉 You look good with either style. But I agree with **Scarlett67** , you’ve got a really nice hair color and it’d be a shame to hide that with such a short haircut. I say just trim it a bit. Might be what I end up doing, too. ETA: Let’s go together! Maybe get some mani/pedis! 😉 ---

You are a really good looking young man. Go for the trim. That pic is really nice. ---

> [@dactylic\_hexameter](#): > > I like the longer hair. I cheated a bit though, and looked through the full album in the second link. The first picture in that album (blue sport coat in front of a white tent), is the best hair style of all. Far superior to the short look. I drooled a bit… This. I really like the longer style over the buzzcut – it makes you distinctive. But if you want to dispense with the hair-in-my-eyes deal, somewhat shorter looks really good on you. As an exercise I tried to squint a bit and see if I could imagine what you’d look like with a short spiky style… not the buzz, but say two inches long on top and a quarter inch with clippers around the sides and back. I am, however, really bad at imagining such things, so I think that one could go either way. ---

I like both - I know this isn’t heplful. The long hair looks more like a writer or poet - I think it’s a very romantic look. The short gives off a Jason Stathan vibe. I can’t wait to see the photo tomorrow. ---

So what’s the story with the professional photographer? ---

> [@jali](#): > > So what’s the story with the professional photographer? I seem to be the only Swedish speaking Icelandic who does a blog in Swedish. So when the Icelandic economy went belly up, a few Swedish magazines found my blog and wanted to meet for a chat/interview. With that, they apparently needed pictures and hence I got to play Kate Moss in the lavafields outside Reykjavik. But I had to slug through snow and help the photographer carry heavy stuff; I don’t think Kate Moss has to do that ☹ ---

Ok, back from the hairdresser and styled as she wanted. Pics taken by my co-worker, just outside the office. Hence the lack of interesting backgrounds. Here’s [one](http://picasaweb.google.com/sigfus/Jag#5281498693015143314), and there are a few more in the album as well. ---

Glad you like it _blush_ Also, I told the hairdresser I used to have it real damn short (for some last minute input) and she was really surprised! Asked me why in the world I did that, since she liked my hair 🆒 ---
