It means you can spend 3 minutes a day on your hair, look tidy, and feel comfortable.

One hears men think long hair on women is “sexy.” Well, I think well-cut suits in a deluxe fabric on men are pretty appealing, too ... but do they care? No, they go everywhere in jeans or shorts and t-shirts (unless they decide to leave off the t-shirts, *shudder*) because “It’s comfortable.”

If my husband will wear a suit unless he’s doing yardwork or in the gym, I’ll grow my “radical feminist college professor” spiky ‘do into a yard of Emmylou Harris hippie silver.

Lol. Did you tell him that? C’est la vie. Hmmm, if he’d wear his suit even doing yardwork and at the gym, would you go Chrystal Gayle.

Drop the negotiations and take the first move.

Grow it out for him anyway and tell him how much it turns you on to see him dressed up nice.

Love shouldn’t require “negotiations”. That’s a mood killer.

My wife has beautiful hair.

About seven years ago she was brow beat into cutting it short by her mother and sister, quite honestly because they thought it was the "cool" thing to do. Well, I objected before she did it, and also to the end product; she had this beautiful hair cut under pressure from family. After many (somewhat difficult) discussions, she grew it out once again.

She has thanked me for my persistence many, many times.

Different strokes.

Many gals are envious of thick hair. I have thick and somewhat wavy natural strawberry blonde hair and I’ve worn my hair just below shoulder length to pixie short like I have it now and everything in between.

But at 52 I’m at the point in my life that I’m not out to impress anyone anymore. That’s not to say I don’t want to and strive to look nice; clean neat flattering fashionable but age appropriate clothes, makeup, jewelry, hair neat and styled, but I’m more about spending time doing things more fun than blow drying my hair for 20 -30 minutes then using a curling iron or flattening iron for another 20 minutes – that’s 40 to 50 minutes of my life each day I can use to do other things.

I love my pixie short hair cut. I love not waking up in the middle of the night during “night sweats” and having hair stuck to the back of my face and neck, I love that I save money on shampoo and conditioner, I love that when it’s 95 and humid, I don’t feel like I’m wearing a soggy string mop on the top of my head and I love that it takes me about 5 – 10 minutes to style my hair in the morning.

I’m also turning grey (white actually so for now it blends nicely with my natural blonde highlights) and it doesn’t scare me anymore and I’ve even stopped coloring my hair ; ).

My hairstyle is very similar to this BTW.
