Hey thanks yall for replying. Ummm...my hair's condition could be better, but it looks really healthy. My hair color is black (practically) and really thick. I'm sure if I didn't straighten it once or twice a week it would be in better condition, but if I want my hair to be manageable, I have to. Thank goodness my hair is on the coarser side cause then it can handle the abuse! The people that tell me to cut my hair are some of my friends. Those were the exact same people that told me I should grow it long when it was shorter. I don't know, what they say doesn't really have much weight in the decisions I make anyway so I guess it really doesn't matter!

I used to have hair down to my elbow and guys would chat me up a lot, specially when I was in France for a month (maybe because I'm blonde and many there had dark hair?). Then, just like Sugaree, I cut mine of and it's now shoulderlength, though on its way back to long. If I curl my hair now and make it all big and Hollywoodish I get a lot of looks and men honk there horns at me. However, that makes me feel so uncomfortable that I don't curl it anymore, much to my hair's pleasure. I'm sure people treats you differently depending on how you look, so I don't think it's just the hair (although it is a huge part of your looks).

I have pretty much always had short to mid-length hair. So a couple years
ago I decided to grow it out. I had grown it to my mid-back area ( which
is the longest I've had it since I was a little girl! ) It really looked great, I
would get complimented all the time. Men would honk there horns and
whistle at me... not that I desire that kind of attention, but it did make me
feel sexy. I would look at myself passing by store window and think
"awsome". I was so proud of my long hair... but one day (FOR SOME F*'N
REASON) I decided I was tired of the matinance, and the ends were split...
so I compulsivly chopped my locks. When I got home and took a shower I
realized what I had done. AHHHHHH! I cried for like three hours!
Not that my new haircut looked BAD... but I really LOVED my long hair! It
took SO LONG to get it that way, I felt I had regressed. Having long hair
made me feel very feminine and sexy, now I just feel... ordinary.

How good does your hair look mahaya? If it is really nice, it might explain both the positive and negativ comments. It may look so good, people assume that it is fake, so they may not mean to be insulting. But who exactly is now telling you to cut it off again? Could they be threatened by the attention you now get?
People have always been nicer to me when I have longer hair than when I
have short. Maybe because it looks better on me, and people have
a tendency to be nicer to people they find prettier...I don't
know.
If a stranger came up to me and pulled my hair I'd be so mad! I
don't know why anyone would tell you to grow your hair long, then tell
you to chop it all off. First of all its not their business to
tell you what to do with your looks, second, sounds like they're just
getting off on controlling you (feeling like they're getting you to do
what they want instead of what you want). I'd tell them in no
uncertain terms to mind their own business.

Okay so I'm bored and I don't know if this has been posted before, but I was just wondering if you think that you are treated differently when you have long hair as opposed to when you have had shorter hair? I've noticed now that my hair is getting longer, people have been treating me in a more romantic way and for some odd reason, men seem to approach me much more often now. Aside from things along that nature, I also get kind of negative reactions. People (strangers!) come up to me, pull on my hair, then procede in asking me if it's real. Also if I wear my hair up in a ponytail, people actually ask me if I'm wearing a hair piece or they'll ask if they can touch my hair--for what reason I don't know! I don't know whether to be insulted or not so I just let it roll of my shoulders... :) And all the people that for years told me to grow my hair long are now telling me to chop it all off so it'll be short again. I don't know what to make of people and my hair, but I was just wondering if any of yall have been noticeably treated differently with long hair? Wow this is kind of long ---guess being tired I didn't even realize I was rambling! Sorry
