Why Long Hair?

       Long hair has always been seen as portraying the image of beauty. Look at art throughout history. The beautiful maiden is always seen with long hair. All of the representations of Venus: the goddess of love and beauty show her with hair that is long, wavy and flowing. It’s romantic and feminine.

       We are taught that long hair equals youth and beauty from an early age. Look at our fairy tales. Rapunzel was envied so much for her beautiful long hair that she was locked away in a tower. The mere sight of her beautiful hair inspired the young prince to risk his life to try to reach her. We are taught that long hair is something to be desired and envied, because of it’s indication that the woman who has it is more alluring and sexy. For many women – because of the lessons learned while young - wearing their hair long at a mature age is a subtle way of telling the world around them that they are still sexual and desirable beings.

       Another reason many women choose long hair is that long hair takes more effort to care for properly and a woman who wears long hair that looks good is a woman you know spends time on her appearance and likes to be appreciated. This usually won’t be a conscious decision, but the desire to be appreciated means that a woman is more than willing to put up with the extra effort in order to ensure the attention.

       Long hair is also versatile and can be worn in a wide variety of looks and styles. With long hair you don’t have to have simply hanging lengths, you can wear the hair up in elaborate and intricate styles, or a simple, smooth twist. You can add curl for an ultra-full, voluminous look, or you can flat iron it for a super-sleek style. This doesn’t even consider the in-between styles available with long hair: half-up-styles, ponytails, braids, etc.
