I have long hair. I am 5ft 10in tall and my hair is long enough that I can sit on it........
Problem is I'm getting tired of the upkeep, its a real witch to brush.
So here is the question.....Cut it or not? How short?....bald?
The only reason I keep it long is because of my hubby (who LOVES long hair) and my grown boys (they have memories of sleeping on mommies hair when they were little) and my youngest son is adament enough about the issue that he will help me brush it and he will trim it for me.....but I am just so tired of it.....
Your opinions please (pros, cons, comments.....all accepted)

Some men appear well with lengthy hair, others do not. It simply is dependent. Personally, if a man wishes his hair lengthy, then develop it lengthy and hold it that manner. If the hair is stored blank, then I'm comfortable with it being lengthy, but when the hair is greasy and soiled, then it is unattractive. Hope this is helping.

If you are old enough to have 2 grown children, having such long hair might make you look older than you are. You may consider cutting it to shoulder-length or a little bit longer so you still have length and it can still be styled or thrown into a ponytail.
I think you will regret chopping it all off, and as a woman, I hate to think of another woman crying over her hair. :(
If you decide to go that route though, consider donating it to Locks of Love to be made into a wig for cancer patients.

Sounds like it's time for mommy to do something for herself. Do what feels right. Hubby may find that less hair in the sink, shower, cake ect is a nice change. Plus sleeping with someone with long hair is a pain. go for it!. I recommend a little past the shoulder.

It's your hair, so you do whatever you want to do with it.
You can still cut it, but keep some of the length. Why don't you cut it to just a few inches past your shoulders? That way, you can still do things with it. If you want to cut it shorter, I would do it gradually to see how you like it.

you could cut it and donate it to Locks of Love:

That way you get a change and it doesn't feel like its been wasted and just thrown away! And your family members would know it was for a good cause (and your comfort), besides you can always grow it back out!

It's your hair, it doesn't matter whateveryone else wants. In my professional opinion, yes I'm a hair technician, Cut it no shorter than your collarbone. Then you can say it's still semi-long and it's not a fuss anymore. GOOD LUCK

if you want to cut it it should be shoulder length or a little longer i cut my hair every week .so if you to keep your hair you should put it in a bun to avoid sitting on it.

I think a shoulder length hair would be adequate. Ask your Husband he will be honest with you. If you ever have any concerns he is the one you should go to for advice in my opinion

i think that you should cut off at least a foot, so you can sit down without worrying about pulling out hairs, but your husband will still love it because it is still long
