super short, wash & wear.
(if I can be bothered washing it - sometimes "wet and wear" and if I'm not going anywhere .. just "wear")

I hate doing my hair! It feels annoying and boring, and it used to be wash and wear for years.I often would only brush it in the shower! Unfortunately, since I cut it, it has to be "done" or at least tied back, since it looks really bad otherwise :(

Very, very, very, very fine hair.

Looks like absolute rubbish if I don't straighten it. Still looks a bit rubbish if I do. Gets greasy very quickly and is quite long. Would have short hair, but am too round-faced. Needs to be cut every 6 weeks because it grows quickly and gets damaged easily.

Wash, blow dry and straighten it. Doesn't look great but could look worse.

Wash and wear. My hair is fine in thickness and normal-dry, on the wavy side.

My hair is waist length but layered to be naturally spiky on top. (I cut it myself by gathering 1/3 of my hair in a rubberbanded topknot and trimming the hair in the topknot 1 inch or so long...when I remove the rubberband, the top of my hair sticks up while the rest of my hair is long and free.) I absolutely won't go to the hairdresser because they always become scissor happy and I hate the feel of strangers' hands in my hair.

Every other night, I wash my hair, then put it up wet in a topknot when I go to bed to air dry. (I put a large microfiber towel on my pillow to keep it dry.) When I wake up, my hair is usually no longer wet with lots of body on top, then I comb the top of my hair with my fingers and briefly brush the longer section of my hair.

Interesting thread.

I've got long hair. I love having long hair. It's a common misconception that long hair is more hassle. In fact, it's much easier than short hair, because you don't have to style it. You can just brush it quickly and throw it up in a bun and forget about it until you want to let it down.

Like LinnaeusCat, I do not go to the hairdresser any more. I just trim it myself. Hairdressers and I have differing opinions on what "trim" actually means, which leads to lots of crying and trauma. :evil: So I save lots of money by trimming it myself, and I save lots of time by not having to style it. Hooray!

Right now it's not even washed, it's sticking up and is providing accommodation for a small mouse.

Pretty much. My hair is naturally wavy, so some days, if I'm bored I'll straighten it. Usually I just put it in a ponytail.
Also, apparently I have a bit of a cowlick so when my Grandma notices it, she always hairsprays it. (which, by the way, is annoying.) But I don't ever notice it.

A website I swear by, I havent been to the hairdresser for 2 years!

It takes practise though, my first few tries were a little crooked...

Oh sure. I forget SOME guys have long hair as well although the stereotypeish is short maybe bald etc. Long on a guy is cool though.

I get it but twice a year, a basic cut because I don't like going to the hairdressers. Every morning I wash and blow dry else I'd freeze then brush and tie back. My mum tells me I look like a school girl.

I normally wash my hair, brush it, blow-dry it, brush it again, and put in bobby pins. Once in a while, when I'm not really seeing anyone or going anywhere, I just wash my hair and brush it.

I've never gotten my hair curled, but I might want to do it someday.

Since I hate blow-drying my hair, I wish I could shower at night instead of in the morning. However, if I shower at night, my hair gets frizzy.

I'm sooooo glad it's not just me.

I've tried various styles over the years, but although I like my hair to look nice I really don't have the time or energy to do much with it. My hair is now long, tied back in a low ponytail which I think looks more grown up than a high pony. It gets washed when it needs it - once a week or so and my brush gets used every couple of days.

However, I will spend time on my hair for reenacting. I rag roll for 17th Century (English Civil War) so I have ringlets and used to pin curl for 1940's style when we did WWII. Strange but I think it's to do with following set 'rules' rather than competing with fashion.

Anyone else?

I just wash my hair once a week and let it dry naturally.
I've never dyed my hair or anything. I'd just let it grow and not cut it but my mother always pressures me to let her cut my hair a bit at some point.
I don't comb my hair either, it's such a bother. It'd take a million hours and it looks better if I don't comb it.
And still, people *always* compliment me on my hair, because it's naturally curly and apparently that's rare. :lol:
I'd perhaps like to dye my hair some unnatural colour someday though. Like green, blue, bright red or some such. But it'd cost loads of money, so...

If you want no maintenance hair and to appease your Dad at the same time, simply grow out your hair. You can throw it in a ponytail and your done and you are playing the girly part at the same time.

If you are interested in a style, you have to pay for it. There are hair salons that don't charge too much, where the stylists are trained but those are collectives where the styists pay the salon for their space rather than working for the salon.

If you go to a cheap place, they aren't trained and don't know what they are doing.

Either way, a style takes effort to maintain. Unless you go short and are willing to wipe in a product to achieve a "look".

In summary the easiest looks are: long or very short. Very short requires a monthly cut to maintain, however.

I am just the same; why bother? I don't wear any makeup, either. I'd probably smear it everywhere while rubbing my eyes. Just impractical.

It really irritates me that women are "supposed" to paint their faces and all that business. And when people say their breasts are their "best assets", I wonder, "Do you really LIKE having those things to haul around? Truly? Or do men just say you should?"

End of rant. :)
