1. I have Options (with a capital O)
Since I have long hair, I can do what I want with it. I can put it in a bun, a ponytail, plait it, leave it out long... whatever. If you have short hair you are very limited to what you can do with it.
2. It's Biblical
1 Corinthians 11:15 says "but if a woman has long hair, is it not her glory? For her hair is given to her for a covering."
3. It gives me warmth and coolness.
When it is winter and really cold, I have my hair out long to keep my neck warm. When it is summertime and warm, I do my hair up to keep myself cool and to keep my hair out of my way. The benefit of having long hair is that you get that versatility. If I had short hair I would be cool in summer but cold in winter.
4. It's all I've ever known
I've never had hair very short. Apart from when I was born, of course, and it grew after that. But other than that, my hair has always been long. I love long hair. Sure, I sometimes wish it was even longer and wavier and not this boring dirty brown colour (I have always wished for blonde hair), but it's certainly better (to my way of thinking, anyway) than having anything else.
5. I like it!
Okay, this is probably the main reason I keep my hair long. I like it. I like it a lot.
Girls with long hair, what are your reasons for having long hair?
I've got very short hair... I don't think anything would work for me.

This post was actually intended for the girls reading it... lol.. never mind. I'm sure your short hair works very well for you. :)
DeleteI do not feel cold in the winter even though I've got short hair. :-P
ReplyDeleteYou've never known anything different, right? So you're probably used to it. Whereas when I wear my hair up (in a bun etc) I definitely notice having a cold neck.
DeleteI think your hair colour is quite nice (mine is basically mouse-coloured!)
ReplyDeleteLol, thank you :) No one has ever told me my hair colour is nice before!
DeleteI notice that it's only the male side of your readers who have commented so far. Strange, considering the topic.
ReplyDeleteI know... it's kind of strange. I thought so too.
DeleteI have shortish hair, and I love it that length. Sometimes long hair can drag you down and make you look scrappy. I guess whatever works well for you, but sometimes a good new haircut can make you feel great. I reoccomend shoulder length hair _ I hate long hair. The best thing I did was to cut my waist length hair- ive never regretted it!
ReplyDeleteOne of the awesome things about this world is that we are all different. :) Some of us like things one way, others like things another! We are unique! I'm really glad having shortish hair works well for you, and that you love it. I'm finding that long hair works really well for me currently. I didn't mean this post to be offensive... I was just stating my reasons for having (and loving) long hair. Maybe someday I'll cut my hair just to see what it feels like. :) Until then, I'm going to really enjoy my long hair! Thanks for commenting, Anonymous. Have a lovely day!
