is your signifigant other supportive of your long hair?

Is your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife, or partner supportive about your long hair or long hair goals?

My boyfriend is really encouraging and sweet about how I want to grow my hair longer. He even brushes my hair sometimes. I don't really know if he has a real preference on hair length, but I'm glad to know he's excited about it too. I was also talking to a couple guys at work today (one of them actually had waist length hair), and I told them how I was growing my hair out. They both said it would look really good, so it was fun to hear that.

I'm glad you have so much support Jenna - I'm sure it'll help you to reach your goal/goals.

I don't have a significant other, my family are indifferent and my friends tell me to cut my hair. Darn. Still, who needs "real-life" friends when you have online friends, eh?

Yes enfys, it does help to have the encouragement. I made sure to tell the guy from work that I liked his hair that way, and he told me a lot of people have advised him to cut it. He wears it in a neat ponytail, so I don't see why it would bother anyone. Anyway, your friends must either be jealous or are just missing out. My best friend actually has BSL hair, so I guess it helps that she loves having long hair too.

Wow, krzysztof... that's quite a "phase" and turmoil with your mother you just went through.

Welcome, P Simons! Your hair sounds beautiful. How long is it, may I ask?

Enfys, I can understand your frustrations. Any more, most of my friends are supportive if not appreciative of long hair (mine, and in general).

My boyfriend doesnt care what lenght my hair is but he likes it shorter than or at tailbone lenght. Any longer and he thinks its in the way and all over the place. but hed never tell me to cut it or anything. In general though he prefers very short hair on girls. Ill never have very short hair.

My parents and sister want me to keep my hair stylish and short. By stylish I mena they would like to see some sort of cut instead of one lenght.

My husband wants me to keep my hair long (it's slightly below bsl) and makes a sad face whenever I speak of cutting it. But he also likes me to wear it up best--which kind of seems silly to me. But he doesn't like it up tight, he likes it up and all poufy-messy. When we're getting ready to go out, if I have it down, he'll say, "you're not going to put your hair up?"

Go figure!

My husband says that he likes my hair any way that I like it, as long as I'm happy. But, I truthfully think he's the most partial to it longer. So, yes, he's very supportive of my growing it long.

BTW, I must be slow because I'm not sure what BSL hair is. Does that stand for below shoulder length or bra strap length or something else? I've seen that abbreviation a few times on the boards. Thanks!

Yes Erinlynn, I think he likes my neck. Also, I have a small face (small bones in general) and a lot of thick hair, and I think he thinks all of that hair can be overpowering. He says you can see my face better with my hair up, that I look younger, etc.

He sure knows how to get what he wants :)

Thanks also, Dave :)

Yes, Elissa, we can say "chest-length"

Viktoria, ah! I cant imagin wearing nightcaps and hanging my head over the bead. I never use a hairdrier and i have on many occasions slept with wet hair all night. Its not that horrible =)

The nightcap doesnt sound like fun though.
