I had shoulder length hair in my early twenties when my hair was lustrous and didn't have the greys that it had now...(Thinking of dying it red right now.) I think longer hair suits me but it tends to go very bouffant and wild when it gets really long.When it starts to get long I make this decision like "right I'm going to grow it proper long and I just don't care",but I always back out when it starts to get unmanageable and get it cut short.A part of me really like to express myself with wild funky clothes and hair but I have this other side which doesn't want to draw attention to myself and just wants to slip through the crowd unnoticed.Some people can't fully be themselves lol.I think this time around as my hair is getting a bit longer again I will keep it trimmed and maybe styled a bit and maybe thinned.I don't want to have to go into an austere penance again and get it cut really short again and deny my inner hippy again.
I talked to someone today who had parts of his sides shaved and dreads to his lower thighs. I ask how old, and he said his last hair cut was in 93. He was such a cool dude.
