Hi Ken,
Thanks for your insightful thoughts.
For those of us who have had long hair for a long time, it can be a balancing act. We miss the excitement of getting new length every month, so many of us crave to have something different and therefore keep pushing for terminal. In my situation that quest came down to more of a curiosity thing rather than having my hair look its best.
Perhaps if my schedule was less busy, I'd still give it a go but I just don't have the time to fuss with the protective steps that would be necessary to keep those last few inches of very long hair reasonably healthy. Physical activity is very important to me for various reasons so I'm not going to alter my lifestyle.
I also am quite fond of the blunt, fresh-end look and feel. I'm now thinking this is a new area I can explore and see what regular trimming will do for those ends.
I also hear you about the versatility of shorter lengths. I confess that as I look at some of my older pictures, I kind of like some of those lengths where I had it just below the shoulders and up to the length I have now. Even if just for a variety's sake, I might change things up a bit while of course remaining a longhair!
