It's always worth having a look to see what long hair looks like, and how it feels, and if you like it or not.
When I realised my hair was going to vanish, I grew it really long - it was very curly, but stretched out, the curls went half-way down my back.
Now, as a folically-challenegd individual, I have a Number One once a week, never have to bother about drying or combing, and it's no big deal if there is no shampoo for a few days.
i would like my hair back, but wouldnot wear it long, it would just be nice not to have a wide parting, but i accept that is the way life is.
