A bit too attached to them I think.
I don't own any of that stuff either...no interest in any hair style that is high maintenance enough to require it. Agree on longer hair often being easier to deal with than shorter styles...no need to get it cut every 4-6 weeks and doesn't require as much styling. Really short hair can be nice as far as being easy to wash and go, but the frequent cuts are a pain. I had mine really short for years during junior high to college, but finally grew it out after getting tired of being mistaken for a teenage boy! Decided I'd rather grow the hair out than feel like I had to wear makeup or dress super girly all the time since a lot of that stuff is just not practical. Now thinking about getting it cut to shoulder length (it's about mid back now).
