My hair's longer now than in my photo, and gotta say, I think it's easier long than short. It's not thinner as I get older, but it feels better in a pony when I'm hot or busy and don't want it in my face or on my neck.
And men...well, they just get better as they age. More distinguished. Women definitely have to work at it a little more.

I wear my hair longer because I like it and I do look better with longer hair. For years, I kept it short and tried to manage the natural curl..quite frankly it was way too much work....it's easier to let it grow and let the natural curl flow. It's nice to be able to wash my hair...put some frizz control in it, pick it out and let it dry. Most of the time, I pull it back when I am at work but I do like having the option of leaving it down or pulling it up..with short hair you do not get that option.
Whatever works for each individual woman should be what she goes with... for herself.
Although my hubby does love my hair longer...he would love me just as much if it were short

Yup, I've been one of those jsut chopping her hair off. I've got a fair amount of natural curl, I've figured out that a certain length of shortness, a gob of liquid straightner, 5 min with a blowdryer and I'm just good.
Way low maintenace, I love being able to smim and sleep without rolling over and getting caught in it. (I used to have hair down to the waist band of my pants) And as I used to dive a great deal, there is nothing worse than trying to pull a hood over a large amount of hair.
My hair is for me. A happy, confidant woman is a beautiful woman!

If you ask any stylist in a trendy salon, they'll say "honey when your face falls, you need to LIFT it with a haircut". The male stylists will say this, the women aren't so forthcoming.
I've been bald in the not too distant past, after having those short professional doos that really only look good on The View. Once something is lost, you don't know what you have till its gone.
So in keeping with my iconoclastic bent that gets more pronounced as I get older, I'm growing it till birds get stuck in it MO FOs!
Besides, I whip it into a hair tye and I'm good to go in two minutes.

until I hit 30, my hair was incredibly thick and curly. ( it was usually below my shoulders) I couldn't blow it dry or I looked like Diana Ross.. so it would take hours for it to air dry.. in the summertime, it just never got completely dry.. anyone that had long thick hair knows that it doesn't take long for it to get a sour smell if it doesn't get dry. I wore it long enough when I worked at the hospital so that I could pull it up to keep babies fingers out of it. at home, I always wore it down with a bandana
after I went through menopause, it started to thin out a bit.. but believe me.. I still have very thick hair.. I just wear it shoulder length now.. i still don't blow dry my hair. and when I go get a cut I have the stylist thin it out with the snippers because it can get very heavy.. that can lead to headaches.

I wash it in the morning, thow some hair serum in it, comb it through, and I'm done. When it was shorter, I actually had to blow dry it to get it to lay the way I want it to...although with my hair that's one thing it does well...lay.
Hair dryers FRY my hair when it's longer so I do have to plan for it to be dry before I get to work...hence the longer commute. It really has NOTHING to do with the fact that rent is cheaper out here.

I cut mine in March of 07 and before my daughter cut it about a month ago...it was almost to my butt....grows very fast, and I love it....
Sometimes I get a wild hair up my butt and decide to cut it short...but I've been told I look much younger w/ long hair.

Awwww so sorry Mer...
When I was sick after my last back surg with staph infection, it really messed up my system. I took me 2 yrs for my hair to even "start" to grow out.
It all worked out though, after I was healed.
Now we worry bout the next surg coming up....so not cutting it til I have too!

If I get staph again, Yes. The anti-biotics make it break off like a twig snapping.
I'll miss it...but (fingers crossed), I won't get staph, because they'll start me on a-b a week or so before surg
