Do whatever gets you noticed.
I have one of the most unique hairstyles and it gets a lot of comments. when I decide to grow it out, I soften it and curl it up and soemtimes, I evenhave one curl sticking out in the front in the middle which looks "cute" according to girls, they also like touching my curls b/c they get really hard when I use Dep Gel, I also have those 1970's style mutton chops which looks cool.
p.s. Look at the hairstyle Ashlee Angel has in the picture gallery in "Anything else," mine is about the same but with a little more hair.
