Definitely, yes. My hubby has long straight hair, and it looks terrific. His is about mid-back, which makes it longer than mine. Not all of corporate America cares about that sort of thing. None of his managers have ever asked him to cut it. ---

Long hair is a nuisance. I guess it’s good that a lot of men wear their hair long though -it helps me sort out who are the hippy lamer punks and who are the upstanding, reasonable individuals like me. Of course, if I had my way the Earth would be in a million smoldering pieces now. I’d also like to add that women with short hair are hot. ---

Or have I just been wooshed? 🙂 Seriously though, what on earth is it with the ‘long hair=irresponsible’ association? I simply don’t get it. ---

Mine’s not yet as long as I’d like it to be, but it’s getting there. Anyone want to give me your honest opinion? (And _NO_ I am _NOT_ balding. I just have an enormous forehead. A fivehead, as my friends call it.) [http://www.d.umn.edu/~katz0068/pic.html](http://www.d.umn.edu/~katz0068/pic.html) ---
