For the past 3 years I've been growing my hair, and it's now almost waist length. Although it has been fun, and I don't regret doing it, I am starting to tire of it now, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to have it cut. I thought I would solicit advice from the patrons here about what I should have done.
I've been considering a classic men's haircut with a side parting, as sported by Errol Flynn in this picture-
Alternatively, I could keep it slightly longer. I was watching The Princess Bride yesterday, and was quite taken with Cary Elwes' haircut-
Or I could go for a central parting instead, again with the hair left slightly longer-
What do you think?
Before I decide: could I have a picture of you so I can see which hair style would suit you the best.
Otherwise I would recommend the last one or a buzz cut

#3 will suit very well if you have such a cornered face.
Woops, silly of me to forget. Here's a couple of reference pictures-

Who needs hair?
Just lose it all
Definitely #3 and dye it lighter at the same time.

I'd go for #3 as well.

I think #3 suites you best too.
If you get a mullet I'm taking away all your Floyd.

What's wrong with my hair colour?!
Number 3 is definitely the younger man's cut. However, I do really like those classic 50s hairstyles. It's tricky.
My woman thinks you're Teh Bomb! I'll ask her opinion when she gets home.
She'll let you know.

Just a thought, #1 & 2 will probably require more hair goo of some kind.
When I cut my long hair I gave it to “locks for love”.
If you go for either #1 or #2, don't forget to grow the stylish moustache that Errol and Cary are sporting! Any other hairstyles from Robin Hood actors that you are considering?
You're all wimps! BKS, keep the hair, grow a beard.
Alright BKS,
Mrs. Beirut says:
First off, you don't have to cut it that short.
Second, your hair is too straight to pull of the Errol Flynn wave.
Third, if you cut it that short your hair will have no body.
Fourth, of the three shots, go with the third style
My ten year-old says "Ugh!" in reference to Errol Flynn. She's ten, whadaya expect.
Heh, thanks Beirut. Tell your family thanks as well.
I'de go with #3. With your straight hair. God do I wish I had straight hair.
Hey,
I got a thought, but I'm just going to keep it to myself
I say get your Hair Cut Short, and I mean Short lol. Short Hair looks good IMO..

Really? I just wish I had enough to cover my head.

And on the seventh day, God invented the Combover...
Personally, I like my really short hair... I mean really short, basically crewcut...

I'd say #1 or #2 - but #3 would look good too.

Giant mohawk.

I go with Sasaki on this! Mohawk it! I suggest the Psychobilly Mohawk: Bigger in the front than it is in the back, and other than that, it is a mohawk.
I actually did sport this cut^ for a long time, the wife says she like my hair so I grew it out.
Csar, why wish for straight hair? I have a lot of curly hair and the wife loves it.
Russian army style baby. Nah, saw your pic, long hair looks good on you. Keep it.
bleh, long haired hippy
shorten it and grow a beard I'd say

#2 for your face. Maybe 3#, depends.
/me puts on the GQ hat
P.S. Oh, and uh, Mrs. Beirut is right about the Flynn 'cut.
