I never knew that short hair was so much work!
But then, I never dated a short-haired woman! LOL.
Our exchange started me thinking where the idea that short hair was less work entered my mind.
I suddenly realized I formed that opinion by observing how much more women bothered about their long hair compared to how little I bothered about my short hair (I'm a guy).
I never paid much attention to short-haired women; I never saw them in similar circumstances to the long-haired women I have known, to see that some might fuss even more about their hair than the long-haired women of my acquaintance.
