Getting your hair cut.

[nyankaty]

I have like...an unhealthy obsession with long hair on girls. I want SO badly for mine to be long (I'm a girl) so I can have the Rapunzel hair that I so wish I had but I have thin, fine, ultra curly hair. So as much as I would kill a dozen babies and club a hundred seals for the thick hair like Merida had in Brave, it'll just never happen so I recently got a pixie cut. Now I'm growing it out to look like Chani's from Anchorman 2 because I FREAKING LOVED her hair in that. Not a great movie, but Kristen Wiig = <3. I had my hair down to my shoulderblades not long ago but it drove me insane. I would spend a solid 20 minutes in the shower detangling my hair with 1/4 a cup or more of conditioner because the tangles were so numerous and so instantaneous. I really doubt I'll ever have my hair really long ever again, it was just horrible.

Oh, and when I am maintaining short hair, I get it cut every 4-6 weeks. When it's growing out/when I don't care, I'm lucky to remember to cut it twice a year and it gets so damaged.

I'm a guy with long hair for 2 reasons. The first is I like having long hair. I work as an accountant which is a profession where you're expected to be neat ad tidy and having hair halfway down my back makes a nice change to all the short haired guys in the office. The second is hairdressers/barbers scare the crap out of me and I have to be dragged kicking and screaming to them (quite literally when I was younger)

I prefer to keep my hair as short as I can. Now that it's cold, I keep a couple of millimeters worth of hair on my head. Just a bit, though. If it gets too long (still short by most standards) I cut it myself. During the warmer periods and randomly during the winter, I shave it down to nothing. Feeling that breeze is really cool. Also, really cool. As in cold. And wearing a hat doesn't work, since anything soft and warm just merrily slides off of my silky smooth head. Annoying is what it is, I tell ya.

I used to keep my hair medium length back in trade school, but then I realized I looked like a douche with it. It sort of splits in the middle at the top of my forehead, and curls. It essentially makes me look like a pompous, snot-nosed snob. After that, short all the way. Didn't have to readjust myself to the military or nuthin' either. And afterwards, I didn't have to "grow it back" like all of my mates.
