Growing your hair out

[bluedana]

It's taken me about 5 years to grow my locs to shoulder length. There was an awkward period there, about six months, when I looked like an extra from an Alex Hailey miniseries.

I wore my hair down almost to my shoulders (and had a beard and mustache) for a while when I was a young man. I like long hair, but it was a pain in the neck and I prefer everything to be low maintenance. Unfortunately, the old scalp isn't as productive as it used to be, so it would be impossible to do it again now.

My hair is short. I used to wear it long, but I feel that short hair fits better to my personality. Maybe I'm just not feminine enough for long hair. Plus, short hair is much easier to maintain.
