The other nice thing is that I don't have to keep getting haircuts every six weeks--just the occasional trim to clean up split ends.
I agree! When I had short hair I was miserable since I had to wash and style it (using a bunch of stuff) to get it to look good...I had to wash it everyday too to get all that gunk out of it just to start over again. There are people that look great with super short hair that doesn't require all that of course, but it just never worked for me. I had chin length hair 4 years ago and I haven't cut it since! It is all one length and I just bun it or braid it and go...it always looks acceptable. Because it is straight and basically flat, being under the helmet doesn't seem to hurt it...it just gets a little damp.

ps...I saw your sig....lol I'm an RN working ICU
