Rapunzel Culture: Why Do Men Like Long Hair?
First of all, men aren’t the only ones who tend to prefer long hair. Women can as well. I feel more like a woman, and happier with myself, when my hair is long, healthy and shiny. In high school, after I got into college and made some serious life changes, I cut my hair. And not only did I cut it, but I cut it short, to my chin, and dyed it strawberry blonde. Might I add that before, my hair was bra-strap length and dark reddish brown. It was a drastic change, which was what I was going for. But I wasn’t happy with it after a few weeks. A girl in my class had warned me, “You will no longer feel sexy with short hair.” She had cut her hair boy-short and she lamented that although it was fun to play with, she had a hard time feeling like a real woman. But I kept telling myself it was the right choice. Because more than anything, I wanted a change. I wasn’t even thinking of looking good.
