- JMJonathon MecklenburgSep 28, 20253.0I had went to get a hair cut and I get the seme haircut everytime. When my haircut was done there was a lot of longer hairs sticking up. And then I noticed the other day I have a piece of long hair that I have to tuck behind my ear until the rest of the hair grows back out again.
