Thad says that as long as Jared is wearing hemp he can have shaggy hair… hahaha! I think it looks good.. He should leave it the way it is. It looks good for fall like weather.
For the love of God, trim it at least!
and as the best friend, I think my vote should count as at least 2 or 3 times
I have to add though- I like the first picture.
Well, I still like it, even though you took mug shots of him! Gosh L-dog, make him pose sexy or something, like the lead singer in a band, like his hair makes him look. As I said before, a long as he keeps the style of dress to match his hair, I think it still looks great! Mess it up a little though…unless, of course, the mug shots make it look combed down.
Absolutely not. And I don’t have any smart or sassy reasons. I think it looks great as is.
WOW, ladies! Thanks for your input. No votes to cut it, except for Mandy’s recommendation to trim. And, yes, Emily, I guess I could have taken some better shots, but I didn’t want there to be any distraction from the subject at hand. Okay, so come on, everyone else…..tell us what you think. And, don’t be afraid you’re going to offend. Jared, as many of you know, is not easily offended! Oh, and yes, Mandy, I have to agree on the first one. And, I’ll have to add that he looks like a scolded puppy dog in the second one.
I know you already know my vote but i have to voice it at least: GROW IT OUT! I LOVE IT!
I swear, Jared must have payed all of you or something! I expected there to be at least one vote for a cut! I know there are plenty more who could cast their vote, so come on and tell us what you think!
If i keep losing it on top and growing it out at the same time I will look like Gallagher soon.
Ok Jared. I think we”re going to have to go with CUT IT PLEASE. You’re starting to look like Hayward. Seriously, we think the shorter hair style we all know and love is much more attractive on you. It makes you look younger too. That’s our vote but we really would like to say -ask your wife what she likes. Her vote should be worth 1million!
Jared, there aint nothin’ wrong with a little business in the front and party in the back. Wait, wouldnt that be called a “skullet?” I didnt pay enough attention to the Power Point presentation on The Mullet.
And I forgot to add earlier, I feel like I am looking at Shea in a few decades. Its ri-gosh-darn-diculous how much he looks like his daddy.
You look like one of the Beattles or maybe a character in one of those 60’s or 70’s era biblical movies. You need to buzz cut it, shave off all the facial hair except a go-tee. Sorry man, you said be honest. I bought a pair of clippers for $9.99 about 3.5 years ago. They have payed for themselves probably 50 times by now!!!! Good luck.
I vote to go ahead and cut it like Gallagher, he’s a funny guy. OK, not really…have you ever thought about a mowhawk? Longer hair in the fall and winter is nice, and it gets pretty cold up there. Definitely go with what you and Lyra like best.
Jared,
It is nice, I like the “do.” I think growing it out would be fun! Have you grown it out before??? If you have, we would like to see some pics!
I LOVE your hair. Keep it by all means. Take it from an older person, your hear will disappear all on its own some day, so enjoy it while you have it.
You guys have given us some good laughs tonight as we’ve read over these comments. Will and Aaren, so good to hear from you! And, cousin Brian, too! Thanks, guys! It looks like growing it is still winning, though. Keep the votes coming in! I know there are more people out there!
Jared, forget the whole majority rules. When has the majority ever wanted what is right throughout history? Very rarely. Also, think about what you mom would say. This is much more likely to produce a good solution. The current length is not much of a problem, but do not let it grow much longer. And speaking as a man who does very little to care for his hair, comb it daily and don’t go for the shaggy look. I do not know what people mean by “sexy”, but come on, leave that for Lyra. God only knows that I care very little about hair styles, there are times when I haven’t even owned a comb, but as a Presbyterian we are to do everything with decency and in good order. Hopefully, you will withdraw your vow to submit to majority and come back to reason. Your brother in law, Mike
I think the mere fact that a “mullet” was mentioned is reason enough to cut it.
Hey Jared! It doesn’t look bad, but I prefer it high and tight. Less maintenance for a guy that’s so busy and constantly on the run. Miss you guys!
EJ
Dude, cut it like no tomorrow! Cut your losses and run! Cut a rug! (Director says) Cut! Cut the grass! Get electrolysis! Sorry, I got carried away and that one just sort of came out. As a guy who suffers from defective hair I have gone through many different hair styles (see http://www.jjshelleyfamily.blogspot.com - look for the “Wanted!” pic) and find that the short cut seems to go best with skydiving hair syndrome. Besides, asyou get older, you’ll just look like one of those bald guys with a comb-over. And no one wants that. Just sad, that.
I would vote yes, go for the trim. Clay lets his hair get a bit long, and I never notice because, well, he’s my husband and I don’t really notice his hair because I’m just trying to get him through seminary and to help me get the kids to bed (does he even have hair, she asks herself)… anyway, even though the younger crowd can make do with longer hair, I think the family guys look like they’re trying to hide, um, a receding hairline. Not that that applies to your husband… I hardly know you two! (Lyra, I think we went together with Megan to her in-law’s farm last year.)
I kind of like his hair with some length on it, but not too much. I especially like the front view. I don’t think it would look good any longer. It looks clean and neat this length, but any longer he would look more like the hippies in my generation (60’s) - and I didn’t even like the long shoulder length hair on guys then!!!
Good to hear from all of you! And, yes, Aunt Jeanine, I do agree that it doesn’t need to grow shoulder length! And, Renae, I can totally relate to your input! Sometimes he trims his beard, very noticeably, and I don’t notice for days. It’s interesting to me that most of the votes for “cut it” are coming from people who have known Jared the longest. So, come on people! I know there are lots who have not voted! What do you think?
I like it short–brings out his pretty eyes!
I agree about not letting it grow longer. I love you, look at my bog please, Lyra, it is updated
Yes, cut it!
Ok, since I wiped your bottom when you were a baby, I get a significant vote here, but I am sure you already know what I would say…. of course, CUT IT! You look like Daddy’s 70s pictures..and the bald spot looks like it might be appearing as well. I think you are spending way too much time in front of the mirror …like, don’t you think you have anything better to do? This must be the result of that bottle of apricot brandy!
I vote that you enjoy the hair as it is now, and then eventually cut it.
Hair is fun! Color it, highlight it, put it in a ponytail… and then eventually cut it all off and go back to a dull and dreary existence. The beauty of hair is that it’s ever-changing. It’s not like a tattoo or something much more permanent. 
While you’re at it, get your ear pierced! That would be fun too. Before ya’ know it, you’ll look like a pirate… or a Hobbit…
Oh my gosh! You girls are cracking us up! This just keeps getting better and better. Keep on voting. We need the entertainment here!
I’m gonna bring this to a close tomorrow night, so come on and vote! And, then, maybe I’ll tell you all my vote.
We think that Jared should cut it. After much consideration, Sam and I think that it would look best shorter in the back and over the ears.
Well, I’m weighing in late, so sorry! Well guys, you’ve seen my boys…so I think you know my vote! Short. We like short hair.
Daniel has decided to grow his out for the winter. Again. Can’t wait.
Thanks for the vote, Karen! And, you’re on my side. Yes!!!!
Cut it brother. Short requires less maintenence and is always in vogue. Besides short eliminates the vanity thing of over concern about your looks. Sad but true our culture pays attention to how we look and long hair is offensive to some that you may be attempting to minister to.
I’m not sure if I’m too late to vote or not…I just have to say Jared looks like Shaggy from Scooby Doo!! I’m going with Lyra on this one - CUT IT! Love ya!
Elizabeth! Thanks for your input. And, yes, I agree, he does look like Shaggy! Unfortunately, he is not playing fair and has refused to cut it so far. But, the votes to cut far outweighed the votes to leave it alone. Oh, well. We’ll see what happens. I learned a long time ago that I can’t make him do anything! Love you, Elizabeth! Can’t wait to see you in January!
