you may not get any negative comments. People may remark as it is a change, and as normally people dont like change especially for a guy the comments may be taken as negative but they rarely mean it. If you were a woman and you changed your hair style, convention has it that other people say they like it regardless of whether it is better or not! The main thing is, what you want and if you like it dont worry about what others say. If you need a response, you can say something along the lines of 'you are entitled to your opinion, but I like it'
