I prefer my hair short--not too short, somewhere between ear and chin length, in an A-line cut. In fact, I'm going to have to get it cut pretty soon here. I get some bad scalp issues going on when my hair gets too long. My hair is just too thick and wavy to be worn long; I feel as if I'm drowning in my own hair. The weight can get pretty unbearable too. I always chop it off twice a year, once in spring, and once in fall, and just keep it trimmed up in between. But it never gets past my shoulders. Once I can start putting it in a tiny ponytail, I know it's getting too long.
My guy prefers long hair, but because I hate, hate, hate having long hair, he has to deal with it. The deal is that if he gets a haircut, I earn a haircut, and vice-versa, because I prefer him with long hair
