I used to have longish hair years ago, just after graduating but I cut it all off and kept it short for about ten years. Then, one morning, I was on the treadmill in the gym watching VH1 (I think) and they were doing Red Hot Chilli Peppers special. I think it was Under The Bridge, where Anthony Kiedis is running around outside with his hair blowing about behind him... Seeing that made me remember what I was missing and I haven't cut my hair since. That was about two and a half years ago. It's longer now than it ever was in the past, about 1-2 inches below my shoulder blades, and still growing. I think it's time to find out what my terminal length is. Here's hoping I've got a lot more growing to do.
Well, it started when I was in gradeschool 3rd grade or so. I just went a long time without a haircut, not really thinking about it. I started getting comments about how long my hair was getting, and i just figured "Hey, why not give long hair a try?"
after it got very long, i cut it because i was aggrivated at always being mistaken for a girl. I was really missing having the hair, and i started growing it out again, since i figured by the time it got long i wouldn't be in gradeschool, and the being mistaken for a girl would stop.
And it has, for the most part. I'm a sophomore of highschol. I only have that problem with people that don't know me coming up from behind now. =)
I had always had a fascination for Native Americans, and as I got older, I came to appreciate long hair on men, mainly for the nonconformist attitude it implies. I figure that if I want a longhaired man, I better be a longhair, myself.
Well, for me it is nature and music. Nature has always been something I enjoy, especially the northern woods in Norway. For some reason I always thought long hair and the wilderness went great together. The music I listen has greatly influenced my hair growth as well. I am happy I have started to grow my hair (1 year and 5 months!)
That's a good question and one that I have thought a lot about as of late. Well, first of all I think that long hair is sexy. Now, the second reason is the real kicker. I have always resented the fact that I was circumcised as an infant and that kind of put a little rebelious streak in me. Yep, I'm a rebel. I guess I feel that in my own way I'm sending a clear message to all those ultra-conservative hypocrites that would hate me anyway. I suppose I'm telling them, hey, I know you want to cut my hair too, but this time it won't be so easy for you.
Well, that's how I feel and for some strange reason I suspect that I'm not the only one here that feels that way. I guess I just say what's on my mind, but, I never was very shy. haha!

Well I was really into U2 at one time and I wanted to grow my hair long like Bono of U2 but of course now Im not into them very much these days

Heh.
It was probably my friends obsession with long haired guys that got me into it. She had me and my friend Jon growing for a while. Then I got into metal and was inspired by the members of Nightwish and now want to grow as long as I can.
