Why do hippies have long hair?

Y duz sorry shorthairz wannah B hip.

 

My boyfriends hair is like 10 cm longer then mine. His is 75 cm long I think or 80?

 

Haircuts cost money which could otherwise be spent on weed.

 

Logical conclusion... but let me throw a curve into your theory:
I have long hair and I don't do any drugs. Don't drink either.

 

But surely having long hair isn't a prerequisite for being a hippy? Neither is taking drugs, although I did to excess. There are people with long hair all over the world, but I would say that the percentage of these people who could actually be called hippies would be very low.

I used to have hair right down my back, complemented by several ear rings and beads etc. Now I just clip all my hair off and wear comfortable (admittedly sometimes fairly scruffy) clothes. There are a number of reasons for this, but the main one is practicality. I've got used to having short hair now, and although I would like to grow it back again, at the age of 40 I don't think I will now. If I did then people would probably just think I was going through a mid-life crisis.

If you looked at me you wouldn't class me as a hippy. If you talked to me in some depth then you probably would. Being a hippy is more about attitude and state of mind than anything else. That's my opinion anyway, if anyone disagrees with me that's fine, everyone is entitled to think whatever they want.

Peace.

 

Duh, I tink ther-4 I'h iz tinkin bout how long haz meh HAIR been bein real.

 

My husband and I both have long hair, but of course he's the only one that gets asked why, and he always answers "cause that's what made my beautiful, lovely wife chase after me in the first place, well, that and my sack of greens!!" And I think that is the best answer ever!!! My sweet longhaired pot head!

 

And another thing why is it that if males have long hair they are ragged on and treated like hobo's and bums? of course they shouldn't be treated like shit either just because they have few possesions but they still are.

Like for example i've heard people called faggets and shit like that for having long hair and I have personally been called a scrub and am usually treated like a second class person because I have fairly long hair and don't comb it as I like it to grow as it naturally would.This is fucking insane as I probabley have much better hygiene than half the white collers.

Anyone else get ragged on badly for having long hair?

 

My husband gets treated like shit all the time. It makes me so mad. He has a very blue collar factory type job, but makes very good money, and all the guys he works with always get on him that he needs to spend some of his moldy money on a haircut, etc. It's bullshit.
Or when we go to a restaurant or out someplace, I feel people look or treat him differently. What about the days of old, when there were no barbers, or people grew long hair and beards to keep their faces warm. We say society is evolving, but I do believe we get more ignorant, and assanying everyday!

 

hippies have long hair to save money on toilet paper... they wipe their ass with their long hair

 

i don't even have that long of hair, it's only like an inch past my shoulders, and i've been ragged on by teachers at school.

 

Yeah dude it's crazy like I used to go to church in my long uncombed hair and one guy offered to buy me a new set of cloths and told me it would be a good idea for me to get my hair cut yet in the same damn room was a picture of Jesus with his long hair!

I don't know why society can't be more accepting of these things but who knows maybe someday things will change and people won't be descriminated against for this sorta stuff and their ideals.

 

all we can do for now is dream

 

I love my long hair, and it's always clean and nice.


I went through a stage in my 30's of going for sensible short hair but hated it. Now i'm 46 and it's long and thick as it should be. My late husband liked nothing better than watching me toss my hair from side to side with it flying through the air,,,

Despite problems with horrible teenagers who hate hippies round my way i intend to go on tossing my tresses about.

 

Cause we wanna!
From baby hood to now I medium length or short hair, because of my Mom. Now that I am twenty-one I let my hair grow as long as I want it to be!:H

 

It was pretty much to break the barriers that society built up to that point.(1960s) Girls wore dresses and and guys had smotth combed slicked back hair. It used to be a form of rebellion now It's just a fad to public masses. And I still get shit for mine.

 

keeps me warm in the winter and the sun outta my eyes in the summer

 

cos i'm a girl. and thats what girls do
well that's just my explanation

idunno about hippies though

 

To platt

 

or maybe a better reason would be..because i'd look even worse with short hair.

you chose.
