I have long hair - over shoulder length. I don't style it, I simply keep it tied back in a pony-tail. It is a fairly brilliant red. I have asked other people how often they have to wash their hair, and am usually told a number between 2 and 7 times a week. I must be pretty different, because I wash my hair less than once every two months - you wouldn't believe how long a bottle of shampoo lasts me. It is not that I neglect it and it gets skuzzy - it is just that it doesn't get oily the way everyone else's seems to. I do brush it every day, which I think helps a lot. The biggest hassle with long hair is finding it in everything. I like to wear black a lot, and when I shed the hairs show up like search-lights. They are a pain to get out of sweaters, too. Now for the surprise - I am a man. I like long hair on both sexes if it is well cared for. On women my main reason, I suppose, is that if I am intimate with her, I like to play with it while doing intimate things. I suppose I would define "long" as 5 inches or so in length - I don't insist on ass-length and in fact think that is overkill. Hair shorter than about 2 inches is much less attractive to me. For the last year or so, I have been in the interesting position of having hair longer than every woman I know. This doesn't bother me, though I think it bothers some of them... I would be interested in hearing from my female co-workers on that... Steve Den Beste
