Personality Traits?

Bwhahaha!!! Thanks LadyG!

Anais, you're funny.

Long hair for me reflects practicality, and at this point, laziness. I grew my hair long because 17 years ago, I couldn't afford going to salons anymore, so I thought I would try doing the one style I had never had before, long, and see how long it could grow.  I secretly always wanted super long hair since I was a very young child.  Once I reached my goal of 6 feet, I told myself I would trim regularly.  Heh, I haven't done it yet.

I like being extreme in this one area of my life, and when I do wear my hair down, it's great fun receiving attention, which mostly is quizzical and shocked, but some men can get over ardent, which I'm not so fond of anymore.  Bikers looove long hair.

I agree with Katherine, too, long hair does reflect patience.  When it does become work, which isn't too often 'cuz I wear it in updos most of the time, it can tangle badly, which requires detangling no matter what hour it is.  Still, my husband and I have to carefully undo each tangle, even if it's 2 AM.  That's when patience kicks in.

For me? The Seven Deadly Sins in this order:

ETA: forgot to reorder them after typing them from web.
Pride - Envy - Lust - Wrath - Gluttony (which includes non-food pleasures, apparently)- Greed - Sloth

And the biggest thing for me is wanting to be something "-est". Wanting to outdo everyone I know in SOMETHING. In this case, the longest hair. I want to have the longest hair of anyone I know in person. That's probably classified as Pride then :)

Grace, cut your hair short now! Whatever you do, do not grow your hair super long!

Feminists against being feminine. Hmm... just whose interests do they represent, anyway?

Speaking as someone who went from very long to short a couple of months ago I can say I am definitely a "long haired" girl at heart. I've had extensions now to give me back a some length. I felt totally unglamorous and plain with short hair although strangely enough I did gain a boyfriend while my hair was short, but he doesn't mind how I have my hair. Oh well.
I feel sexier with long hair and more confident, plus it may not be politically correct but I really enjoy being feminine. Other women didn't seem to like it when I had really long hair in fact it was my ex best friend who persuaded me to go short.

My mom always chopped mine off short when I was a kid, so I always envied the girls with the long hair, and I noticed when the boys all wanted to spend their time with those girls (which is probably what lead me to the opinion that long hair makes people prettier). Even though I know where I probably got this idea from, it never changed my opinion.

Still waiting for mine to grow out, and I can't wait to feel pretty and girly again!

I'm curious; what do you think people who consistently wear their hair long have in common? The reason why I ask this is because Halle Berry recently said that even though she's been wearing long extensions for roles lately, she's "a short-haired person at heart." Conversely, you get people who, when they cut their hair short, grow it out right away because "it's just not me." So, what is "me"? What are the qualities that lead to our preferences?

I know that for me, there's a fair amount of rebellion involved; if I'm told to do something, I will do the opposite, and for the longest time I was told "you need to cut it," so of course my response was "no I don't." That exchange doesn't really happen so much now that I no longer live in Preppyville, but I still aesthetically prefer it long, and on a certain level it represents my stubborn streak, which has served me well in other ways even today.

Any other explanations/common personality traits?
