Super long hair?

Question

Why do so many people seem to hate super long hair?

My hair is hip lenght, well maintained. I trim it, it has no split ends and is in good condition. I keep it braided alot, and when it's loose it has pretty waves from the braid.

What I don't understand is why people keep pushing me to get it cut. It has taken years to get this long.

Add: I have no intention of cutting my hair. I adore it, as does my husband.

Answer 1

They are just jealous. You wear your hair the way that you want it!!

Answer 2

My hair is also very long. (Down to my waist) I love it and do get bugged about it. Mostly other women who buy-in to the shallowness of fashion trends are the main offenders. When someone tells me I need to cut my hair I look at them and ask "Why do you find it necessary to find fault with the way I look?" That usually stops them in their tracks. I have attended several funerals where the bereaved would stand next to me and absentmindedly run their fingers through my hair. I think it comforts them somehow and for that, I am grateful I have long hair. Oh, and yes, the men LOVE it!

Answer 3

Many people believe that long hair is really annoying. Such as getting into your food or hitting people whenever you turn too quickly. Long hair also can clog sinks or vacuum cleaners, and some people just dont care for long hair. It's just other people's opinions. I know quite a few people who like long hair. It's your decision, and you shouldnt let what other people say change it.

Answer 4

it might be because some of the latest styles are in short hair. my hair is about 3-4 inches below my shoulder, and super straight! and if you keep your hair that well maintained, then i cant find a reason for ppl to be pressuring you ta cut it!

Answer 5

Guys with long hair <3

Answer 6

I have virgin hair down past my waste and people say the same thing to me. I also trim my own hair and it is always smooth and sleek. My husband and his best friend love it and tell me not to cut it but everyone else, all women, tell me to hack it off. They are just extremely jealous people who can't stand to see how beautiful we are and hate us for it.

Answer 7

My hair is alos hip length. I find the opposite. I get comments all the time about how beautiful it is and that I should never cut it. I plan to get it down to my knees and then keep it that length. Those who say you should cut it are jealous. They feel envious.

Answer 8

i have long hair too. and everyone loves it but want me to cut it because they are jealous and want me to dontate it to something better like Locks of Love. Dont listen to them becuase the way you style your hair helps to express your feelings and without it you wouldnt be the same. i cut it one time only about 5 inches and i cried so you do what you want and you wont be dissapoineted. trust me. i should know you should too.

Answer 9

Answer 10

I love long hair, i think that the reason that people hate long hair is becuz it can be a hassle to take care of.

Answer 11

Jealousy, people with shorter hair wishes to have longer hair, but it takes so longer to grow that people are often impatient to let it grow. Be proud of your hair and continue taking care of it!
