QuoteReplyTopic: Hair today vs. hair back then Posted: July 15 2006 at 6:11pm
So, would ya'll say long hair is more popular today than it was back then?
Also, is it more common for men to have long hair now than it was back then? Let me know what ya think.
And, would you say hair is more healthy today than it was back then? I know we have a whole lot more products and equipment now, but I just thought I'd see what your different views were. I'd be pretty interested to hear your replies.

I think long hair might be more popular than in the 80's or the
50's-60's, but less popular than in the 60's-70's, and much less
popular than the 40's or before.
I think that the only time in recent history more men have had long
hair was in the 60's-70's, but before. I would guess that men's
hair, generally speaking, has been longer in the past 40 years than it
had been in the previous 100 years, but I am not an expert of hair
norms in history.
I believe that hair, generally speaking, is the least healthy that it's
been in all of recorded history. It is a rarity, I find, to see
long, healthy hair these days! You might see BSL hair that isn't
fried, but try to find nice, healthy waist length hair on an
adult. It happens, as we know from Hair Talk Long Hair Support
and other long hair websites, but I do not see it very often in
my daily travels. As I understand it, if this was the 1800's,
almost every woman you see would have healthy long hair.
Could you please define back then? I agree with rhpetunia that the time period makes a difference in the answer.
Also, I think the opportunity for the healthiest hair is today because of our knowledge and availability of products and services. However, that doesn't mean that all long hair takes advantage of these opportunities!

No need for apology, Lisa. That just makes the question open-ended to mean "whenever 'back then' was." Popular hairstyles and lengths have always changed (even though the pace of change is sometimes slow).
I do think that people (in general) are wearing longer hair now, as compared with 5-8 years ago. It may also depend on where you are in the country and in the world. I think that rhpetunia gives a pretty accurate summary.
