My beard changes with the weather due to the fact that, through some genetic freakery, it grows 1" plus per week. There is pretty much always something. Hair length? I've never had a haircut with scissors, EVER. Including my time with Uncle Sam's Misguided Children when it was high and tight with 1/4" on top at best, my hair has always been either just shaved, or growing. Even as a young kid, I had it buzzed in the summer, and then it grew from September to June. Last buzzer to touch my skull was in August of 2000 when I wound up with Marley sized dreads after a summer off that I hiked the entire Appalachian Trail solo. My hair's about to my ass at this point, at close to 41 it is graying though.
