is your signifigant other supportive of your long hair?

hey
i have just gotten my hair cut and when the stylest messed it up i was already almost in tears becuase my hair was really long and she messed up and cut it really short so when my boyfriend saw it he was really rude and telling me how bad it looed as if i hadnt noticed

Don't have a partner right now, but my ex-bf adored my hair (always playing/sniffing with it) and he was looking forward to it getting longer. Even bought me hair toys as a gift...without any prompting on my part. Great guy!

My ex-ex was into cutting it in a big way. not good.

Anyway, I just wanted to say that having lived through both extremes, a pro-longhair bf = happy Uzi .

I am happy to say my husband supports whatever hairstyle I choose to wear. If he didn´t, I guess he wouldn´t be with me. Still, I can see that he really loves the long hair. He even puts up with the extra hassle, nightcaps and such. Last time we stayed in a hotel, they didn´t have a hairdryer (!), so I had to wash my hair in the evening, and slept with my head by the footend of the bed, to let it hang over the edge of the bed, to dry. Not one single comment from him.

And yes Reenie, generally BSL = bra strap length on this board. I'm not sure that's fair to the men on the board though.

That might be about mid-back for most people, I think.

Dave thanks for the compliment =)


Elissa, poof poof!! Thats unusual to hear of. I wonder why the poofyness is so attractive to him. Usualy you hear that a guy like it up becasue you can see the line of your neck better so I wonder why the poofing in particular holds such charm to him.

Personaly i think messy updo are flattering too...but alas I dont have good hair fo that. Mines too sleek to poof unless if ive curled it. Sometimes I wish i had slightly curled hair...

Hi P Simons! Happy growing and styling!


Erinlynn, it sounds like you don't have much or any real-life support for your long hair. From the pictures you've shared, it looks wonderful on you.


Crazy Girl, your hair is beautiful!


Elissa... your husband might like your hair long because that means more hair for those poufy-messy updos he loves. To each their own and God bless you for your generosity.

My boyfriend prefers my hair long. He was the one that suggested I grow my hair. He suggested that I grow out my bangs also. At first, I didn't like the idea... I have always had shoulder length hair but I gave in and said I will try and if I like it, I will keep it long. I loved it and so did a lot of other people. I guess I was just afraid of change and if it weren't for my boyfriend, I would probably still have short hair.

Dave - my hair is shoulder length right now and I really don't know how long I'll go. I am able to wear it up in a variety of updo's and am happy with that. Only time will tell I guess

My significant other likes my hair long but he doesnt really mind either way. my parents are very supportive of me growing my hair long. I went through a bit of a phase in the past few weeks where I wanted to shave my head! my bf said go for it!! but my mum was disgusted I was really hurt and shocked at her reaction she gave me the biggest lecture and was so mad she swore her head off!

psimons, I know what you mean. The, undoubtedly most annoying bit, is that men can actually look more attractive as they age. No woman would be described as haggard and deshevelled and desirable in the same sentence. It's so mean.
