No one is jealous of long hair. Anyone can let their hair grow long.

That is not true. For you to have long hair, your hair has to have a long enough growth cycle. Most people have short growth cycles. This means that your hair falls off before it grows past a certain length.

Unless you have excellent hair, cut it. How can you tell? Look at recent photos of yourself, not in the mirror every day.
I had excellent hair when I was younger. Now that I am older it's thinner and tired. I cut it just shoulder length, and even then I know my good days will never return...
Look at this- no long hair

Do you live in rural Utah? Do you have multiple sister wives?

This does not sound like rural Utah, especially the fundamentalist Mormons.

Anyone can, but it looks good on a small subset of those people. Dress the hair you have, for me, that is long. I wish I had less body so I could do a pixie. But I don’t. Did it once and I looked like a librarian. But long works for me.

I actually didn't know that everyone has a terminal length until recently. It's kind of commong sense since it's basically cell turnover, but kind of something you don't think about.

I worked with a woman named Betty, many years ago, who had long hair that she wore in a braid wrapped around her head. She was late 60's and her hair was the most beautiful shade of white instead of gray. I thought she looked amazing but she was smart and sharp and funny so maybe that had something to do with it. Now that I'm older myself (mid-50's) I can't fathom the amount of work it took for her to wash that much hair, dry it and braid it, day in and day out. I lopped mine off not because I thought it would look better, but because I am simply too lazy to deal with long hair at my age. There, I said it. Come at me, DCUM.

No they definitely can’t.
My cousin has the thinnest stringiest hair ever. She could never have long hair.

Other people just have hair that is too thin, or unhealthy to be long, think split ends.

This is such a strange thread. More than half of the women I work with - 30s, 40s, 50s - have hair around the bra strap length. I have only noticed one with stringy hair and she always wears it in a bun.

DCUM has a weird hatred of long hair that I don’t see in the real world.

There are a lot of neurotic weirdos on here.

I would be really, really shocked if someone with this type of hair washed, dried, and styled daily.

Women with long hair are usually the last to realize that their hair looks frumpy or unkempt. If she thinks it does, little doubt she’s right.

I often read that on DCUM, about adult women and little girls, and I just have to conclude it's jealousy. All I see when I'm out and about around the DC area is beautiful long hair. I never see frumpy long hair.

I’m in CA but will say long hair can look dumpy very easily- shapeless, frizz or damage , bad color or grays- all contribute to hair looking bad regardless of length. But those issues are sooo noticeable on very long hair!

Keep some length if your hair looks good (full and shiny ) but even bringing it up to top of cleavage length will make a big difference and still look feminine

Not to mention the number of people who are surprisingly certain about what will look best on an anonymous stranger they’ve never seen.
