I have the "long hair problem" myself -- many strands down to as low on my back as possible without being in dangerous territory (okay, some are in dangerous territory). It's fairly easy to maintain, wash, brush, tie back or leave down. All the same length, so I don't have bangs in my eyes or anything.
I go back and forth on cutting it. I can't braid my own hair very well, so when I go running and wear my camelbak waistpack, my hair gets caught between my back and the pack, which means tangles. When I wear my tri-suit with a zipper, my hair gets caught in the zipper. When I swim, I stuff it all in a cap (which gets easier after you practice) or it is all over my face. When I work, it drops down into my face, blah blah. Biking is probably the only time it doesn't really bug me![]()
I do get compliments on the length, though, and regular hair cuts are a pain. I don't want something I have to maintain with a lot of effort, even if it means I wear my hair the same every day or don't do anything exciting with it. So, I guess I'm indecisiveNot really looking for a change, but for practical reasons I might have to cut it a bit. Sometimes I debate cutting it all off and going for the spiked look. That inbetween length where it's too long to style like short hair and too short to style like long hair is hard, though.
Good to know other people have the "hair problem" even if it's not the same one. I guess everyone does, but so much of the "female identity" is tied up in hair that sometimes it seems like a bigger issue than it should be.
