My guy and I have known one another for about 15 years and when we finally met (as we knew one another online, on the phone, by mail for many of those years) he hated that I had chopped all my hair off before hand. I was living in AZ at the time and having the weather that hot and being into a great deal of skating at the time, my hair was short enough to spike it (and I did), it ended up growing back and this was many moons ago, but he still hates the thought of my hair being short.
Long ago people would relate hair to the woman, more specific long and shiny = fertile, might want to keep that in mind.
