Length or Health ? A hair poll

**Chanterelle** · January 8th, 2009, 12:05 PM

Health because I'm not growing my hair superlong. I only want it to look good and make me pretty

No question about it for me, health.

If the choice is between hair that's super long and hair that's super healthy, I'd pick length any day. The only thing that would make me hesitate over choosing length would be if that length was accompanied by a very extreme lack of health, but because hair has to be at least somewhat healthy to reach longer lengths, I'd still feel pretty safe in choosing length.

No doubt about it. Length

Health, absolutely. Know why? Healthy hair grows so much faster than damaged hair.

Health, absolutely. I'm not a fan of thin, dry, damaged ends.

Having said that, I'm currently growing for length, because I'm curious to see how long it will go - just for once in my life! Once my curiosity has been satisfied I expect I'll cut back to whatever length looks and feels best.

Definitely health. I think hair can look good in most lenghts as long as it's healthy, while unhealthy hair just looks bad whatsoever.

Teazel: That's what I'm thinking too, I just want to know how it feels and looks like having really long hair. Allthough, I'm not sure how long I'll grow it, probably until I can't resist the urge to cut it

I'm leaning more towards length at the moment, though I accept I'm going to eventually have to sacrifice some when the ends look really bad. On a good day when well moisturized and oiled just the right amount even the dry damaged bits can look good (to me anyway - others would have trimmed them off long ago!)
