Long hair in your local population?

[Finoriel]

Long hair around here is practically non-existent. I have seen one woman with waist-length hair last month, that´s all in a long time... and I assume she was on holidays here, so not really "local population".
Not even small girls have long hair, for them shoulder-length or shorter seems to be common this year.
From teens to about 50s it´s up to date to have straight short and/or layered hair in almost every colour, as long as it´s not the own natural one, somewhere around shoulder-length or APL. Same trend as last year.
The older ladies around here prefer either pixie in grey/white or coloured with perm.

As long as they don´t tell me which hairlenth I should wear, the short-haired trend is completely o.k. for me. Maybe it´s a little sad that the other side of the spectrum is so underrepresented around here... but hey, trends come and go and hair is growing all the time maybe next year.
And on a side note: I´m completely out of fashion... fine!

Here in Nova Scotia, I see a reasonable number of people with long hair. Although hair past waist length is rare, I do see people with hair that length on occasion. Long hair on men is not that common yet, but the occurance is increasing, and it is rare that I go for my walk to the mall and fail to see at least one other guy with long hair.

Northeast Texas: quite a few longhairs but not in my particular peer group. Unfortunately, much of the long hair you do see is not well kept or particularly lovely although every so often a stunning head of hair will walk by. (With a body underneath it, of course!)

Buckinghamshire, UK: I see quite a few female teenagers with BSL hair, though it's rarely virgin. Bleach is very popular around here, as are very choppy, straight styles.

Occasionally, I see some women in their 30s-40s with longer hair.

I imagine we have some really long hairs around as we have a moderate Sikh population and they refrain from cutting their hair for religious reasons. They wear it up and covered, though. I'm also pleased to note that a lot more male teenagers feel comfortable wearing longer styles now. Chin length or longer is relatively common in the grammar school boys (ages 15-18, I think).

Where I live there are a lot of South Asians and some of the women (and the men too) have extremely long hair. They're sikh so it's some religious thing. The men wear their hair in turbans, though.

Generally, their hair is a helluva lot thicker and more impressive than my feeble uber fine hair.

I've seen one girl at my church with classic length hair (thick and wavy), but other than that, no one around here has hair past their shoulder-blades. Although I have noticed that with the fashion trends rising for this spring and summer, some of the girls have taken to the runway models long locks and have, for the moment, decided to grow their hair long.

Which to me means that their hair will be no more then mid-back, but that's long too!

I get comments all the time that I'm lucky I didn't cut my hair last year when it was all the rage. I'm apparently in-style now with my waist-length locks. *rolls-eyes at style trends* Do you think if the fashion trends said to jump off a cliff they'd do it?

Its unusual to see anyone where i live as most have short hair and if hair is BSL then you will get comments so for me to go out then people do double takes as its just approaching waist length,in the past i had it almost knee length and i was even serenaded in my town centre,oh the cringe moment!
