I've had long hair, I've had short hair, and I've had in between hair. . . and its all good.
I was into David Bowie. I attracted long hair and earrings when it was quite a risque thing to do in Dublin. We didn't have the liberation that America and Britain in the '60s but I did always look to England and America, mainly because of the music that came from there.
I'm much more conspicuous having long hair than I will be with it short.
You have to keep your long hair.
