I was born after the Beatles era, so they had no influence on my hair length preference (I don't even care for their music). I've wanted long hair my entire life. You could say I'm a life-long longhair. Unfortunately, I grew up in a very conservative home and had no say in the matter. I was forced to get short haircuts throughout my childhood. In high school, I was able to convince my parents that I really was serious about wanting longer hair, but was only allowed a sort of "mullet" that wasn't much longer than collar length. After high school, I enlisted in the military, and again was given no choice in hair style. It wasn't until after I was discharged and found a stable job that I was able to indluge in my actual desires. I have been growing my hair long ever since.
