I'm speaking for my man here, when I say he likes my long hair. If it didn't bug me to sit in one place for hours, he'd play with my hair the entire time. He likes playing with my hair when we're watching movies, because then, I'm actually sitting still.
I like my hair long as well, it always frustrated me when my hair was shoulder length (even though people I know told me it was really cute), I'm not 12 anymore, and I don't like short hair anymore. I couldn't even put it in a decent pint tail.
I've thought about being wild and reckless, and cutting my hair to the point that I don't have to brush it every morning, but then I've thought of growing it back, how ridiculous that would look, and how much I really don't want to have to deal with short hair again. So, I'm leaving my hair long, even though I might try some different cuts to style it, until I find one I like.
I'm thinking of getting it layered
