Having long hair isn't for the weak. Do I like having long hair? Absolutely, I love the way it looks. Have I ever considered cutting it off? Yes, the thought has crossed through my mind, i just can't commit to it.

Pros

  • Braids (three strand, not box) - this was the main reason why I wanted to grow my hair out. I really commited to groing my hair after coming across the character Jinx in Arcane.
  • Noticeable - it is pretty unusal to see someone with very long hair around, so this is the first thing people will notice or point out. I don't mind.
  • Hair styling - having long hair allows me to both style it or not style it at all. Most of the time my hair is unstyled, as is (perks of having wavy hair); however, if I'm bored enough I can mess around with my hair. I can also switch between short (hair clip) and long hair at will, which is goated imo.

Cons

  • Maintnance - yes, this is the worst part. Because my hair isn't straight, this means that my hair will just get tangled or even matted if I don't brush it (almost) every day.
  • Detangling - following along with the first point, detangling hair is a huge issue overall. Not only can I only do this with my hair wet, but it takes a while, so it can be tiring. Not only that, but detangling is also a breeding ground for hair messes in the shower, which are never pleasant.
  • Wind and hot weather - I think these are both self explanatory.)

Hair length for reference

Literally a 30in (or 76cm) scroll. This is the length I have to deal with btw.

P.S. an inch is 96 pixels (or 37.8px per cm), allegedly.
