Return of kittybobo!!!!
Some of this is actually valid points lmao. I want to know how you stopped sweating though!
Easy, duh, just don't exercise.
Also extremely true
I'm kind of being unfair :)
Other Pros:
-
if you stopped cutting it when you started transition then it's a 1:1 representation of how long you've been Gender®
-
literally gorgeous, shines like silk in any light
-
free happiness whenever you see it
-
can cover boobs
-
infinite free compliments
-
can bother your significant other by whipping it around
I had great success dying mine with Garnier olia despite the gargantuan amounts of shampoo and conditioner it absorbs
See? That owl looks fly as fuck but I bet their hair care routine is extremely difficult without opposable thumbs. Is the effort worth the drip?
He's cheating, it's a wig
FLY as fuck :kelly:
cons: wind
Pros: wind (sometimes)
Depends on which way it blows
Precisely
I love having long hair in the wind until BBLGJGGFGJFKLKGFALDFKspsititpsitpsitpit GET OUT OF MY MOUTH
Few things more fun than hoping on my bike and just letting my wild mane run in my wake as I head down a trail.
If you're anything like me:
Cons -It's always up at work and after a while you question why you even bother with all the maintenance
This is exactly me yeah. I love how it looks when it's down but it's so much work that I always have it up.
It is a tough choice tbh!
After covid started I stopped bothering to get a haircut and let my hair grow all the way down to my butt. People compliment me on it and stuff but it's actually kinda bothering me in a sensory way. It's always getting in the way, getting tangled, so then I tie it up in a bun, but then that bothers my scalp sometimes, and then it's a pain to wash and dry it and brush it, and it keeps getting more and more split ends as time goes on. Maaannn.... I might just cut it. But it's so cool to have like, Rapunzel hair, or fuckin like, braided long-ass Valkryie hair you know? Takes years to grow that shit out. Idk... I've been going back and forth on it for months.
I'm in a very similar boat. I've got the COVID long hair down to my ass and I definitely enjoy how unique it is for my peer group and professional life. I don't have quite the annoyance you seem to have with it, but I still get some. As an otherwise very obviously cishet guy, there's a certain fun to try on just a little gender non-conforming stuff, like when I used to wearing nail polish in high school and college. Like you, I love having this like viking mane that I tame right before I start lifting or something.
But I know I'll never grow it out again. And as a guy well into middle age that still has not only hair, but a full head of it that goes all the way down my back, I feel like I need to live this life for my balding brethren that have no choice in the matter.
cons:
-hair stuck under shoulder on pillow owie
Why did god give us shoulders like this 
Pros:
Headbanging, windmill headbanging, making people laugh with silly hairstyles
Cons:
Hair stuck in window, hair stuck in seatbelt, hair stuck in zipper, hair stuck on protruding screw, hair caught in hair tie, hair caught in hat, hair caught on fingers... There are others
Beauty influencers: “Noooo don’t use heat on your hair, it’ll dry up and disintegrate and spontaneously combust!!!1!”
Me: “Haha, hair dryer goes brrrrr”
Con, it feels wierd as hell on my ears and even worse with headphones
YES
Maintaining long hair is so much work. Either youre pulling a favour/paying to have someone braid it regularly, which takes ages. If you decide to not braid it then you end up with an afro thats much more work to keep nice day to day.
Pro: Emergency rope making supply for torsion catapults
Pros: My hair is super thick and silky and luxurious when it's long (people like to touch it and they think I'm sexy)
Cons: My hair is super thick and silky and luxurious when it's long (it takes ages to dry and it's super heavy and always falling in my eyes and my ears get hot)
another con: in summer it's really hot
cons: harder to cut it yourself.
pros: don't have to cut it
I like guys with short hair.
I like gals with short hair
I wonder when those wires got crossed for me, dudes look great with long hair and gals look great with short hair
