Yup, yup, yup.

I loved my long hair. In theory.

When I was a kid, I could sit on it in braids. Of course, it took forever for those braids to happen. Even though I slept in them, it still took forever to brush my hair in the morning and re-braid.

Last year, I chopped off my long hair again. (It came to the middle of my back.) Yeah, I was loving how [livejournal.com profile] palecur would accidentally wake me up in the middle of the night when his hand would got caught in the tangles. I'd braid it, but as when I had been a child, it was lumpy.

And oh my, all the potions I had to use to keep it strong and healthy looking! Even with regular haircuts, I still spend less than when I was buying Sebastian products every damned week. I *heart* Suave. And oh, how nice to be able to color my hair using only one box of color instead of two or three! Dye is damaging my hair? Who cares when I'm going to cut it again in a month?

I do like long hair, but I sure didn't like *having* long hair. These days, when I'm in a hurry but need to look good for work, I just put a little mousse into while it's still wet then brush it out in the parking lot when I get to the office. Don't feel like doing anything with it, but don't want it in my face? Do nothing. When it was long, I had to put it in ponytails or braids.

Long hair is gorgeous, but it's also a responsibility.
