Other people with long hair

I saw a fair few long-haired women in the park yesterday. That was nice and inspiring.

I guess the warmth of spring is encouraging the ladies to wear their hair loose - which makes long lengths visible.

Lovely.

But I heard some other (younger) colleagues saying behind her back that they thought she was just trying to look young with her long hair. It can't have been jealousy that caused these remarks, because the women who were saying this had long hair themselves!

Why would they to presume to know her motive, without any knowledge thereof?

Ridiculous.

o I guess that, according to some people, even long-haired ones, there's a rule that when you reach a certain age, you have to cut your hair. A friend of mine recently said, that when she gets old(er), she will cut her hair, because she doesn't think it looks good, an older woman with long hair. I found that strange, considering that at the present time she's nowhere near cutting her hair short.

This myth dies hard. Actually, unfortunately, it has yet to die.

Same here. Most of the women where I live have short hair, or at least above their shoulders. Those who do have long hair are usually younger women, or girls.

And I recently noticed that most of the (female) friends who I met doing acting classes and cultural stuff have long hair. These girls are all very artistic. My college friends, who are very different from my 'artistic' friends, seem to have shorter hair. Funny that.

When you're out and living your daily life, how many people do you see who have long hair?

For me, it seems to depend on when and where. When I get out of the office for weekday lunch and go to the nearest shopping mall (centre), I notice that a lot of the women have long hair. But if I go to another one in a different neighborhood (or to either on the weekend), I don't see as many long-haired people.

Or, if I go participate in (or go to watch) certain sporting events, the "percentage" of long-haired people varies quite a bit.

I think it's nice to see other people with long hair, because I feel a bit of a kinship with them, like we have something in common (the appreciation of long hair), even though they are strangers.

I was just wondering what you notice, where you are.
