I like how you described your hair as now having life. It’s special to feel your hair moving freely and to feel the added weight to it. It’s kind of symbolic of the freedom having long hair represents.
I used to scuba dive and was doing it regularly during the first three years of my long hair journey. My best solution was to wet it ahead of time and slather it with coconut oil. Sometimes I even added a layer of jojoba oil on top of that as it forms more of a shield than the coconut oil which is more absorbent. Of course, I was being totally submerged in salt water so you may not need to be so vigilant but coconut oil is one of the best things you can use in your hair regardless.
I think there’s a good chance your wife will come to like your long hair particularly when you’re past the awkward stage. It does dramatically change one’s appearance and for someone who isn’t innately attracted to the look, I’m sure it’s a bit of a jolt. I met my wife online and posted pictures of myself with my long hair down. It’s actually one of the things that attracted her to me. She’s kind of a hippie at heart!
Yes, the halcyon days of seeing a change in one’s appearance every month! Enjoy and savor your journey. It’s a blast…
