How can i wear long hair to work

I've talked to a lot of people who cut their hair thinking it would be easier to take care of, (these are normal people, not like some of us who are ALL wrapped up in their hair care). And when I see them a few months later they are growing out, short hair being just as aggravating. And here in the midwest/upper south area, short hair has the disadvantage of being right on the neck here in the summertime and no way to get it up being a big complaint.
I've never had short hair so can't compare but I just don't see how it's any easier for the average person (other than quicker dry times). Most short cuts require curling, gel, whatevers so the time is still there.

Your writing of the English language is excellent Madeline.


Women I know who have pixies find it is not much work at all to take care of if the pixie is very short. Longer pixies might be more work I would assume.




..........The important thing about hair length is freedom, the freedom of men or women to wear their hair any length. I believe people can do that more today than in the past. I hope so!

I have had long since I was 3. When I was in elementary shcool I could sit on it. My mother forbade me to cut it, so I did once. Ugliest it has ever been! hehehe. Only other time I cut it was when my twins were born and two babes tugging leaving me with no free hand to remove my tresses from their grasps! I actually cut it from 20 inches to just above my chin. Functional, but looked really really bad on me! I have decided that I will never cut my hair. I am the only woman in the office with long hair (24") and I get complimented quite a bit from the other women. I love some of their styles (very short) but I know myself well enuf to know it looks bad on me!
I love to do lots of different styles with my hair. I do struggle with dry ends, but I love my hair and so does my hubby!
The people I work with are finding that I am indeed intelligent and jsut because I have long hair does NOT mean I am brain dead! HA!!!

I had Waist long thick black hair for years. Due to professional reasons, last week I got it cut to just a bit longer than Shoulder length (I discussed "How to wear long hair to work" on this board)

Actually i told the hairdresser to cut it to BS length. But she has lopped 4-5 inches extra - closer to shoulder level. My hubby is wild at this and has fought intensely with me.

Can somebody tell me how long it may take me to
(1) Reach BS length.
(2) Reach Tailbone length.

where do you live i live in hastings its a lot cheaper to have your hair cut

I don’t understand.
Are you now going to grow your hair long again?
Is this because your husband wants you to?

From what I’m reading, you cut it because your workplace is anti-longhair. Has that changed?
Are you able to put up with possible anti-longhair comments at work in order to avoid possible anti-shorthair comments at home?

What do you want for yourself?

The average person's hair grows a half inch a month, sometimes more, or less. So depending on how long your torso is, is how long it will take to grow out. You could be approaching your BS goal by Christmas. Waistlength, a couple years maybe. Just depends on your growth rate.
I'm sorry cutting your hair has caused you trouble at home. I cut mine once, took eight inches off the bottom of it and my hubby threw a fit. That was sixteen years ago and haven't done it since. It was still long after it was cut, though.
Hope you will be happy with your new decision to grow it out again and maybe growing it out slowly will enable you to have long hair at work without anyone bothering you about it's length there.
