The conversations here have inspired another query: How much/often do people give you words of support in your decision to grow/have long hair?  Conversely, how much/often do people try to talk you out of growing/having long hair?  Hopefully the former outweighs the latter

hey, First I want to complement you on your beautiful long hair, it's really nice what you have achieved! Most people are positive when I tell them I want to grow out my hair, my boyfriend loves it shorter though and that's my greatest worry ------------- |

In my case, the former does outweigh the latter. But this could be because I haven't let my hair grow until now, so people are starting to see my hair in all its glory. ------------- |

I def get support. I get much more compliments on how sexy it is when it is long and get "oh, your hair is so cute" when it is short, which is why I have decided I will not be doing that again!! I don't want to be cute. Jacqui ------------- |
