Personality Traits?

yes, I know and I have long hair and I know it doesn't need as many products etc. However, it's undeniable that if you've got knee length hair, it's going to take longer to comb than a pixie. and a buzz cut takes maybe 1 second??!!

Yay! At last someone has acknowledged that long hair CAN be a pain in the neck in the mornings!

Having long hair DOESN'T mean you can't be a business person but a lot of career orientated, snappy, officey people have short, stylish cuts which reflect their go get em personality. Long haired people tend to be more relaxed? I mean you have to spend longer combing it and been patient with it and if you're a rush rush person you're not going to want to spend hours faffing around with your hair. Ok, not hours, but you know what I mean. I think?

I am a business person, career-oriented, snappy, officey person with a go-get-em personality... and long long hair.

Takes me about 10 minutes in the morning to comb & braid.

When my hair was short I washed it every day, blow-dried, and combed, combed, combed to try to keep it from looking ridiculous.  Some days turned out better than others.  All things considered (care & styling) I spend no more time on my hair now than when it was short.

My hair is so much easier when it's long! For starters, I can let it dry naturally and it'll still go down and not out, since the weight of it keeps the curls in control. Second, well, updos are always a fabulous thing!

Interesting topic.  I think for myself, I had long hair (down to my tailbone) until I was about 13-14, and then cut it short (just above my shoulders).  I kept it this way until I turned 19 or 20, and then grew it long again, off and on.  I never had it really long in my adult years unless I was pregnant (2x), when it grew wildly quick and was in excellent condition.

I went through a period of hairloss, so I think I want long hair now because after suffering through that, I would love to be able to have a lot of hair again.  I've always been a long haired person at heart.  My sister, OTOH, has always had very short hair and has never let it grow past her ears.  She said this was out of convenience and practicality.  I'm hoping for hair down to my waist someday soon. :)  After that, I'm hoping to leave it that way for the rest of my life.

Hi Dave!  Thank you, that means a lot to me to have you say that!  Yes, I just took that photo this evening (I love the self-timer feature on the digital cam).  I thought I would start taking pics of the hair every couple of months for a point of growth reference, and come here to look at all of your pics to ensure I don't cut my hair. ;)

Your hair has always amazed me!  My hair won't be as thick as your hair ever, but I'm continuously inspired at least!

I had both long and short hair. Right now it is about medium length(little past my shoulders) and I am trying to grow it out long again. I think when it was longer I was more confident, and a little more relaxed. When I cut it I have been way more uptight. Always worrying what I look like and what people are thinking about me, and my confidence took a dive. I heard guys talking about how they like girls with long hair and hated it when girls had short hair. So in my opinion people with long hair may have it to be more confident in themselves. While people with short hair don't need that long hair to hide behind because they have cofidence already. Like Halle Berry seems to have lots of cofidence, that may be why she is a "short haired girl at heart" Well that is my thought.
