- What is this thing about men and long hair?? I had long hair for years,
- caving in to pressure from the various men in my life. My husband
- would protest vehemently when I threatened to cut my hair. I myself
- had no particular attachment to the stuff, and always worried that
- it would become my most prominent feature ("Oh, yes, Judy Drake. She's
- the one with the wild hair." These words were actually said.)
-
- In my case, having kids coincided with standing up to my husband about
- my hair, which resulted in getting it cut short (I mean short--I told
- my hairdresser to cut it just long enough so it doesn't stick straight
- up.) It was a coincidence, but the short hair does work well with kids.
- I look better, too. My husband got over it.
-
- Short hair really has its advantages. For the first time in my life,
- I could go skiing and not have all my hair stick to my lip balm.
-
- I figured there are two secrets in life that men have been reserving
- for themselves. I have discovered them and now won't give them up.
- They are: 1) comfortable shoes and 2) short hair.
