so my fiance loves my hair. he tells me all the time not to cut it.

the other day i was with a client and he said something to me about my hair being "really long". i told him that my fiance prefers it that way and i keep it long for him. he replies to me "well, long doesn't mean it has to come all the way down to your @ss."

first of all, my hair doesn't come all the way down to my @ss. but i digress............

how long is "too long"?

i told my fiance about the comment, and he told me that i should have told the guy to mind his own business. i did end up getting a cut this weekend and took off 2 inches - but with hair as long as mine you can hardley tell i cut it at all.

    jesus christ - even acknowledging that clients point misses the point...
    what a complete and total unmitigated and unlimited asshole....

    further... there is no such thing as too long... especially not if it is down to your ass....
    what the client is revealing is the repression that is so threatening to people like that -
    they are threatened by the freedom and magic
    or UNCUT - UNCENSORED - UNBRIDLED - UNRESTRICTED - LIFE / HAIR.

    And it is powerful and is fine for work...those that can't deal are once again threatened
    by the power of real life as opposed to their prescribed and limited world view.

    your fiance knows a good thing.
    cheers

    I wish mine was longer - when it's wet and straight it is almost down to my ass - it's curly so it shrinks up. I love long hair. On guys and girls.

    Tell the client to mind his own business - if you like your hair long than my all means keep it long.

    your client was a jerk. How long you keep your hair is your business, not his. You should keep it as long as it feels comfortable for you. If your long hair makes you and your fiance happy, screw what others think. that's only my opinion of course, lol.

      Coming from someone who has never had long hair...
      It just depends on the person and what he or she thinks is to long

      I am amazed at the women who have their hair like "Crystal Gayle" long (She is an old schol CW Singer), she has always had her hair down to her ankles

    it's NOBODY'S business!
    I have asked why my isn't LONGER~ :are you planning to grow it out?"
    IT'S MY HAIR!!
    I CAN'T HAVE LONG HAIR~ I can care for long hair!!
    I LIKE IT SHORT"

    THE THOUGHT occurs to me: "NOBODY has business to be concered w/ur body!"

    IF this guy who asked, would care it, I WOULD BE TICKLED to grow long!

    I have never had complaints about the length of my hair. I prefer to keep it long, it will sometimes get caught when I fasten my pants. But it is worth the trouble. Long hair is a guy magnet. I have learned how to twist it up, pin it up, and tuck it up when I scuba dive, motorcycle ride, wear winter hats in the wind. Even though I keep it trimmed to msintain the health of my hair, about every 5 years, I get a raical trim. But like you said, few notice up to 6" difference, as it growes back so fast. I love my long hair and so do my men. Let it grow as long as is comfortable and managable for you

    The only way your hair can be too long for YOU, is if YOU think it is too long. Or too short, or too frizzy, or too straight, or too wildly colored, etc. It's your hair. And your client has no business mentioning your ass in any context. Sounds like he might have some issues of his own.

    For you.
    And, I think you should keep your hair as long (or short) as *YOU* want it! Not anyone else- just *you*.

    I love long hair. I have longish hair (am letting it grow out again...cut it when depressed) and my partner has long hair (longer than mine and it is oh-so-gorgeous on him!). I often tell him I can't wait to have pretty hair like him.

    My partner gets comments and looks, being a guy apparently you "can't" have long hair, but he's gotten some positive ones from women who ask him what he does to keep his hair so nice!

    KEEP your hair. :0) Make your heart smile.

    From the Musical "Hair"--
    'She asks me why
    I'm just a hairy guy
    I'm hairy noon and night
    Hair that's a fright
    I'm hairy high and low
    Don't ask me why
    Don't know
    It's not for lack of break
    Like the Grateful Dead
    Darling

    Gimme head with hair
    Long beautiful hair
    Shining, gleaming,
    Streaming, flaxen, waxen

    Give me down to there hair
    Shoulder length or longer
    Here baby, there mama
    Everywhere daddy daddy

    Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
    Flow it, show it
    Long as God can grow it
    My hair

    Let it fly in the breeze
    And get caught in the trees
    Give a home to the fleas in my hair
    A home for fleas
    A hive for bees
    A nest for birds
    There ain't no words
    For the beauty, the splendor, the wonder
    Of my...

    Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
    Flow it, show it
    Long as God can grow it
    My hair

    I want it long, straight, curly, fuzzy
    Snaggy, shaggy, ratty, matty
    Oily, greasy, fleecy
    Shining, gleaming, streaming
    Flaxen, waxen
    Knotted, polka-dotted
    Twisted, beaded, braided
    Powdered, flowered, and confettied
    Bangled, tangled, spangled, and spaghettied!

    Oh say can you see
    My eyes if you can
    Then my hair's too short

    Down to here
    Down to there
    Down to where
    It stops by itself

    They'll be ga ga at the go go
    When they see me in my toga
    My toga made of blond
    Brilliantined
    Biblical hair

    My hair like Jesus wore it
    Hallelujah I adore it
    Hallelujah Mary loved her son
    Why don't my mother love me?

    Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
    Flow it, show it
    Long as God can grow it
    My hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
    Flow it, show it
    Long as God can grow it
    My hair"

    What a grade A a**hole, its a shame he was a client, otherwise i would have said tell him to f**k off.

    The length of your hair is none of his concern.

    He is the one with the problem not you, as long as you like your hair, it doesnt matter.
