Hair Poll

I'm always jealous of my friends with really short hair when we go cycling. They don't have to do anything with the hair at all. Although, I do get to make fun of them because there little spikes of hair stick out of the air holes on their helmets

Used to have long hair that I pulled back in a ponytail for cycling.
But it's so straight and flat, that it always looked icky.
So I chopped it all off and go short now. I don't have the hair-sticking through the helmet issue, b/c I usually use a headsweat or buff, but then, that creates problems of its own. Short hair looks gross after a sweaty ride under a buff - and I'm not talented or creative enough to do anything with my buff other than wear it over my head, hanging down in the back. Nothing fancy with it.
Can't win. Levi L. has got it right.....

Hi!

I have been athletic (and competitive) all of my life...and my hair length has gone from a "number 2" to "down to the waist" (ahem...sometimes the same year!!!). For the purpose of "looking reasonably good no matter what", I have had a rule for the past 5 years (I just turned 40): If it is short, it should be short enough so I can tuck most of it under my helmet/swim cap etc..., if it is is longer, it should be long enough so that I can make a pony tail (one that last!).
Expensive short haircut are..well...expensive...but if it makes you feel good, go for it!
