Two months ago, Alpha made a tough decision about a new hair style. Change is needed and essential to stay fresh and current. He bit the bullet. Aaron Marino of alpha m. goes over the steps for finding a new hair style.

Deciding on the length is the first step. The Alpha called a professional, his friend Stephen, who said to let his hair grow for a month. After a month of growth, he got it trimmed. Then he let it grow for another month. Now it’s time for another shape-up and the decision of the new style.
