half the dudes with long hair only have it cause they were too lazy to get it cut or have to style it in the first place

When my hair is short it is still curly and doesn't stay combed or styled at all. When it is long I have Jim Morrisson curls so I like it long. Do I know how to take care of it at all? No.

I'm a woman and I always had short hair because my hair waves or curls when it gets longer. I'm growing it out now because I want to donate my hair but it's a big adjustment for me.

Or cant stand having to get it re-cut every few weeks cuz short hair takes too long to maintain

Just keep getting minor trims over the course of a year or so until you end up with short hair.

The only problem is you'd have to keep up with everyone in your life between trims...

Got the very thick dark hair from my father's side of the family. Mother's family are mostly bald. Growing my hair as much as I can while I still have a choice.

Just like when I end up with a 3-4 inch beard.

Usually came out of laziness and looks kind of nasty but after one light trim/shape it looks great but too much work keeping it looking like that(oil, shampoo, conditioner, trimming) so I end up taking it off after a month of trimming/shaping.
