With my short hair, I don't even need to comb after wash or before going out

slmkhoo:
I have the long-short debate with myself often! I had long hair from my teens to 30s, and liked the fact that I only had to get it cut twice a year (I trimmed my own fringe). But my husband found it a nuisance because he had to wait while I washed and dried it, especially if he didn't give me enough notice that we were going somewhere! Since having my younger girl, it's been short, and like SL, I can't stand it on my neck, so it's always above my neck. It's much quicker to wash and dry (and I don't use any special stuff on it), and I go to one of the super-quick (and cheap) hair cutting places every 6-8 wks, so overall I guess I save time and money. Although I sometimes think about having long hair again, I can't face the growing-out phase when it will be on my neck![/quote]You have plenty of time now! I always think I should enjoy what I can have. I doubt I will keep long hair past a certain age, so I decided to go all out with long hair now that my kids are bigger. You can keep hair off you neck with a hairband if you like.
I think it depends on the individual's hair condition, but long hair surely needs more TLC. But short hair needs frequent cutting and hair products to maintain shape, which means you do need to go to the hairdresser more frequently, and to use a clarifying shampoo once a week.ammonite:

Long hair gets entangled easily?
It drops easier than short hair?
I can't stand my hair stuck at the back of my neck due to sweat. So my hair is above my neck
I think if you find a hairdresser you are comfortable with, it can be good to go back to the same person because he or she can follow the health condition of your hair. -

:skeptical: No offence, but even my short haired cat needed to be brushed after showering (when I did have pets). Maybe you don't NEED to, but it will look different after brushing. I get very annoyed when my boys don't brush their hair. I even bought a detangler for them!With my short hair, I don't even need to comb after wash or before going out

yes if bun then need be high at top. twist the hair in circular motion and put a rubber band to hold. at home daytime can put the rubber band tighter to hold the bun. at night just one circle, basically just hold rubber band and 'cap' on the bun. to me nothing beats having long hair. daytime i let down to protect sun at neck and back. at home all tied up so no hair touching my neck. no need worry on cutting and maintaining of hair. rebond 2times a year. use the loreal conditioner, hair can be quite smooth le.ammonite:
I have a stupid question for gals with long hair - how do you sleep with long hair?
Thanks, ladies!!
MKS, how do you bun it loosely? You mean very high up or what?
I have had hair of varying lengths over the years, from crop to mid back. I just alternate between short and long hair. When I sleep alone I spread it up so I don't lie on it, but with DH my hair is in danger zone. :scared: I had it in a loose plait for a while, but recently cut it shorter and am doing what slmkhoo said, to one side. Wondering if there is a better way?
Starlight, long hair is surely time consuming. The fact that my hair is at its longest since the kids are born attest to the fact that they are more independent now.
There was a point in time when my hair was shorter than DH's. -

I had that too! And also from long to short! I do like Robin Wright's hair in House of Cards. -

I must be past your \"certain age\" by now! I don't think I will every grow my hair out again as I really find it irritating when it touches the back of my neck, even when it's too short to tie up. I'm very unfussy about hairdressers - I just join the queue and take whoever is assigned. I only use Head & Shoulders as it's the only shampoo that doesn't make my scalp itch, for some reason, and I haven't conditioned it in years as I find that it gets cut off so often! My husband will be very against my growing out my hair if it means I spend more time on it, especially when he wants to go somewhere on the spur of the moment!You have plenty of time now! I always think I should enjoy what I can have. I doubt I will keep long hair past a certain age, so I decided to go all out with long hair now that my kids are bigger.
