I love my hair! My first hair ever after my newbie hair was "Spike Brown" by Adam'n'Eve, and it took me many weeks until I settled on "Luth" from Elikapeka Tiramisu Designs (ETD). My budget was tight back then, and I only bought a pack of 3 browns, but it was exactly the style I wanted. Short, a little bit messy, youthful. A great style - and it did not bother me that it was marketed for women. No, I actually enjoyed it that it set me apart a bit, being probably the only male avatar wearing it. ETD's "Luth" defined the way my avatar looked since I bought it, and with very few exceptions I wore it all the time since December 2007!
I'm sorry, Ladies, yes, I wear the same hairstyle for 27 months straight
Recently my friends Faerie Hax and Dunan Wilder suggested to me in a kind and subtle (cough) way that my hair is outdated, and as a consequence dragged me through countless hair stores, among others Find Ash, Zero Style, Sadistic Hacker, Truth, Exile, Little Heaven, Novocaine, Tiny Bird and Tukinowagima - I ended up with 27 demos that were considered as finalists! Alas, while there were many nice styles among them, none of them "clicked", and ruefully and under the disapproving gaze of Faerie I returned to ETD's "Luth".
And then, a few days ago, I saw the advert for Truth Hawks' new style "Peta". (As a sidenote, don't ever try to google for "peta truth" - it gets hundreds of results - none of which is relevant to SL hairstyles). "Peta" immediately clicked. I could immediately see me wearing it and got the demo. I wore the demo for two days, and asked my friends what they think of it. All of them loved it. All of them said it is the right successor for my old hair - similar in style, but more modern in appearance. So finally, after more than two years, I changed my hair.

..."I wear the same hairstyle for 27 months straight"...
Thats just not right. I have no idea how you manage to wear one hairstyle for 2 years.
Now all we need to find you are a nice new pair of glasses and perhaps a sharp shaving kit ? *grins*
He is male, and we all knew that. We can still love him thou :D
The light in the second image is SOOO much better, thats to make you not change back?
Nice that it's the same kinda style as you had before.. it's got your name on it! Looks good!
Oh my! The name similarity DID NOT EVEN OCCUR TO ME!!!!
/me gasps and sips on her egg nog
I loved your hair, but the new hair even more.
And I'm not sure now if you just proofed that I'm not faint of heart or that I'm not a real woman: I've worn my first prim hair for over 2 years too and am still wearing my second wig until today. *blush*
It does make a lot of difference to your whole appearance, Peter!
/me faints at Zippora's comment :O
-Quaintly
27 months straight. same hair.
Me wonders...does baldness count as a hairstyle? if it does, then the record is already broken 'cos mine is 36 months. just saying!
You look great! Of course, I am skeptical of anyone who says they "understand" SL without having changed their hair. It's part of the whole experience. Come on! You finally GET SL, Peter. Congrats! ;)
I think there is a slight misconception here. This is my FOURTH regular hair, and I have some non-regular shapes as well.
I think it looks good on you. I think it somehow complements the charm of your personality. I don't know how or why, that's just the way it seems to me.
Much better. And sly with the lighting switch for the "after" photo.
