I find it to be easier, as well as more FUN! 😄
When my hair was short, I had to spend a lot of money to maintain my style, which was an inverted bob. The only positives I found with short hair was it took less henna to dye and it dried faster.

Long hair is much easier to manage. If I'm in a hurry I can just twist it up into a bun and go. I trim my hair, myself, so save a BUNCH on salon appts. My long hair is much more interesting to care for. I love all the little rituals. I use the money I save on salons to invest in hair toys and products. Hair toys add so much variety. I can wear the same bun all week but don't get bored because I wear a different fork or stick each day. I also enjoy pampering my hair and learning what oils, products, etc... work the best for me. The only drawback is that wash day is a bit of a time commitment. Fortunately, I am retired. I wash my hair early in the morning and it's dry in 2 to 3 hours, depending on the time of year.
