I just got back from the salon after my latest weave install. My husband wasn't too thrilled that I got another sew-in...not because he doesn't like weaves. But because he knows I'm wearing weaves to grow my hair and he thinks my hair is long enough right now.
He tells me that many guys think shoulder length is long, and growing my hair to my waist is unnecessary if I think it's going to make me more attractive. If anything, he says, long hair will make men think a woman is high maintenance because she has to do a lot to maintain it. Plus he already knows I'll be bunning it up during the week once I reach my goal, so he thinks I wouldn't be able to really enjoy all that hair anyway LOL
He thinks women should grow their hair as long as they want, but not because they think it will make them more attractive to men. According to him, most men are content with shoulder length--the longest would be the middle of her back.
**He never whined or complained in a negative way. He was trying to tell me he loves me the way I am right now.
Has anyone else gotten contradictory commentary from men about their long hair? Does anyone else have a significant other that doesn't understand your hair goals? Do men still love super long hair?
