Hmm... so this is what I can do with my husband's pony tail? (He cut his off back in the early 80s.)

How did you feel after the big chop? When I did it the first time a couple of years ago, I felt surprisingly relieved. Now I am growing my hair out again.

I don't think I'll ever have long hair again.

Too much work.

Who wants to look like an old hippie? (not me, anyway)

When I was younger I was very concerned about looking as fabulous as I was. Now I'm content just being fabulous inside my head - and in my novels.

My hubby used to wear his hair long. He finally decided to cut it to a semi normal hair cut. Now he has me use the clippers on his hair, he will not let it get longer than a fourth inch.

That's a great story! Very interesting... I was really into guys with long hair and on certain guys I think that it looks really good.

This things we do for our art, huh?! Do you ever miss long hair?

That's sure an interesting solution to the problem. You really used your head (pun intended).

That is funny, I think my hair is about as long as its going to get also. Sounds like you have the solution : )

Make your own wig in case you go bald when you get old!

LOL! That was brave! Did you need therapy after you cut it??? I bet it made a wicked costume though! A sign of a true creative mind!

Mine was down to the middle of my back two days ago. I just got fed up with it and chopped it off on Monday. It is now shoulder length so not too drastic of a change but it is easier to take care off.

Just curious, does it really stop growing after three years?

That sounds like you. Thank you for this story about yourself.

I don't know if three years is the "long limit"- but it doesn't stop growing - it just falls out and starts over. You never go bald, though, because each hair does it at a different time. If it didn't fall out at all then your hair would be as thick as a barbie doll.
