: I'm afraid my quest for terminal length has come to an end - at least for now. My active lifestyle just isn't that compatible with pampering my hair, especially with very long ends.
Been there, done that.
I can understand where you're coming from.
In the 1980s I had knee length hair, it was constantly getting
caught in things and getting damaged. Between it getting caught
in varius bicycle parts, getting caught in trees and bushes when
mountain climbing, the ends were constantly getting damaged.
I absolutely hated the idea of hiding the hair under a hat/tucking
it inside a shirt/jacket/etc. I loved having hair that long but
I never could find a way to prevent damage while at the same
time avoiding hiding the hair. I had not heard of the two week
rule back then so after about six months of mulling it over I
got the hair cut back to waist length. I hated to do it but I hated the damage too.
Right now my hair is about five inches from belt length and
so far i've been able to avoid any further damage to the hair.
I'll see how far I can let the hair grow and still avoid any
damage. I want to keep the hair at least waist length with no
damage.
But after 49 years I flatly refuse to cut the hair short or to
get rid of the grey hair.
