Other people with long hair Printed From: HairBoutique.com Category: Long Hair Happenings Forum Name: Long Hair Support Forum Description: Growing it long takes commitment and support. URL: https://talk.hairboutique.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=558 Printed Date: October 21 2025 at 5:03am Topic: Other people with long hair Posted By: DaveDecker Subject: Other people with long hair Date Posted: April 27 2003 at 11:10am When you're out and living your daily life, how many people do you see who have long hair? For me, it seems to depend on when and where. When I get out of the office for weekday lunch and go to the nearest shopping mall (centre), I notice that a lot of the women have long hair. But if I go to another one in a different neighborhood (or to either on the weekend), I don't see as many long-haired people. Or, if I go participate in (or go to watch) certain sporting events, the "percentage" of long-haired people varies quite a bit. I think it's nice to see other people with long hair, because I feel a bit of a kinship with them, like we have something in common (the appreciation of long hair), even though they are strangers. I was just wondering what you notice, where you are. Replies: Posted By: gizmocrystal Date Posted: April 27 2003 at 12:16pm i find there are not alot of people in my home town who have long hair,unless they are young(before teenage years)or they are very unique,not following trends,and dressing as they please.and not conforming to what people say they should wear/listen to/have their hair.they are generally nice people also ------------- Posted By: Isla Q. Date Posted: April 27 2003 at 2:32pm Same here. Most of the women where I live have short hair, or at least above their shoulders. Those who do have long hair are usually younger women, or girls. I have a colleague though, who's in her fifties, she has recently become a grandmother, and she has got the most gorgeous long hair. But I heard some other (younger) colleagues saying behind her back that they thought she was just trying to look young with her long hair. It can't have been jealousy that caused these remarks, because the women who were saying this had long hair themselves! So I guess that, according to some people, even long-haired ones, there's a rule that when you reach a certain age, you have to cut your hair. A friend of mine recently said, that when she gets old(er), she will cut her hair, because she doesn't think it looks good, an older woman with long hair. I found that strange, considering that at the present time she's nowhere near cutting her hair short. And I recently noticed that most of the (female) friends who I met doing acting classes and cultural stuff have long hair. These girls are all very artistic. My college friends, who are very different from my 'artistic' friends, seem to have shorter hair. Funny that. ------------- Posted By: gizmocrystal Date Posted: April 28 2003 at 1:15am i totally agree isla!!! as soon as my friend at work turned 40 she cut her hair! i think because society expects it people conform!im 26 and im getting comments of "oh you would look so much better with short hair!-i caved in once,and i looked awful.i just thought it was me being picked on but from reading posts on here,it seems quite alot of people get hassled!!! ------------- Posted By: DaveDecker Date Posted: April 28 2003 at 8:27pm Isla Q. wrote: I have a colleague though, who's in her fifties, she has recently become a grandmother, and she has got the most gorgeous long hair.

Ridiculous. o I guess that, according to some people, even long-haired ones, there's a rule that when you reach a certain age, you have to cut your hair.

Actually, unfortunately, it has yet to die. ------------- Posted By: Kath Date Posted: May 04 2003 at 8:15am The high school I work at has many, many long locked 9th and 10th graders, then a drop off as the 11th and 12th seem to find a look they like that is not so long. I think dropping that last vestige of baby fat off their face brings them the realization of working with less hair and more face. Those who hold out, and style their long hair rather than just grow it, realy catch people's eye. I don't mean style as in layers or SHannon Doherty angled cuts, I just mean long and groomed nicely. And trimmed regularly. Posted By: uzma Date Posted: May 05 2003 at 3:30am I saw a fair few long-haired women in the park yesterday. That was nice and inspiring. I guess the warmth of spring is encouraging the ladies to wear their hair loose - which makes long lengths visible. Lovely. ------------- Uzi
