Cut conv -
Toni&Guy receptionist: … and how long is your hair?
SO: Down to my knees.
T&G: Are you being sarcastic?
SO: No!
AND, she’s still got 25 inches left!
… I don’t really know if I’m meant to feel anything. It was down to her knees (and she’s a tall girl) now it’s about the length of her elbows.
I suppose it’s long, still. I’m used to it being REALLY long… Mundane etc. I’ve never known her with hair that’s less than 4 feet. Still love her etc, but it’s a shame in some way - was more unusual.
A friend of mine had hair to her ankles - amazingly thick and lovely hair. When she finally decided to go for a shoulder-length bob, the local TV news recorded the event, and a long braid was packaged for donation to an organization that provided wigs for children with cancer.
I think she was relieved to resume a normal anonymous life and not have total strangers come up to her and touch her hair. :eek:
When my brother met his wife she had waist-length hair. However, it being 1977, The New Avengers were all the rage, and a few days before the wedding she went and had a ‘Purdey’ done.
He was not a happy bunny. She’s never grown it since.
I have some sort of ‘extreme’ syndrome. I am most attracted to very tall girls…or very short ones. I love very long hair, or very short hair. The in-betweens are nice at best.
Mine was almost that long for years on end. One day my neighbor, who is a stylist at a very trendy salon, looked me up and down and said “koee, you do know the 60s have been over for for a long time, don’t you? We’re going to have to do something with that hair!”
My wife used to have long red hair, down to her thighs. She cut it before we met, but I’ve seen pictures. She was growing it out, but after growing it out for a while she always insists on cutting it again. It’s just unfair.
My hair is down to mid-butt. (I’d be able to sit on it if I were shorter, but I’m 5’9") I’ve considered getting it cut a few times, but the fact that my boyfriend would be absolutely traumatized always makes me hold off on it for long enough to realize that I honestly love it the way it is. It’s unusual, it gets me a lot of (good) attention when I have it down, and my general antisocial demeanor stops most people from touching it.
We were in a club a few weeks back and a very, very short asian girl and her boyfriend came up to us - SO’s hair was only a few inches shorter than the asian girl. It touched the floor when she sat. If she was laid back in her office chair people had to be careful not to stand on it.
Oddly, I’m not as traumatised as I thought I’d be. Same girl, different hair. It’s still much longer than most people’s hair!
