I have 11 spots on my head where the hair grows in swirls and all sorts of direction (drawing a mind blank of the true name of this) so I have always worn my hair very short. I love my #4 buzz which avoids helmet hair, scraggles sticking out and dries of with a towel. Can't say it looks gorgeous on me but I am so far beyond trying to look gorgeous because I never was in the first place. There is a woman at the gym who hir comes down to her knees and its gorgeous to look at and she is used to it, but its not for me.
