Because I love long Hair AND I love buns with nice hair accessories so let’s bun it…
Definitely up for protecting my hair. I feel I bun 60% of the time, braid 35%, and leave loose 5%.

A nice bun makes the day.
Hey, I totally agree with everything you are saying here! That is an excellent question to ask! Why grow your hair out very long, and then hide it? That just doesn't make any sense as all to me. I don't mean no insults either. But I just prefer my hair down. Now, the only times I wear my hair up is at night for sleeping but since I don't work nor hair and kids, and don't be around things where it can get caught into....I just enjoy the luxury of having it down.

One big reason that I gre out my hair, was so that I could have fun doing updos. And I don't like to have my hair in the way and shorter hair was almost impossible to keep up.
And it's a bit like my more fancy skirts/dresses. I wouldn't wear them for everyday life. But when I do wear them I enjoy it so much more. The same goes with my hair.
It's also fun to get reactions from people who never/almost never sees it down, when I actually wear it loose or in a braid
And I think that my customers would throw me out if I didn't wear it up while cleaning their homes

Why call it hiding though? Having hair up is not necessarily hiding it--I caught a glimpse of my bun in the mirror for the first time in a while (I usually don't check the back) and even though I love how I look with my hair down I was struck by how beautiful and intricate it looked, even though it was just a plain old lazy wrap bun with some claw clips. In fact, I'm planning to redo it so I can have a nice smooth bun and just look at it in the mirror later to admire my hair. (How vain of me, I know lol.)
Lots of people have mentioned that they like long hair so they can do updos, which are harder with short hair. I would consider having an intricate updo or a pretty braid to be "showing off" hair just as much as having it down--maybe moreso because you've combined the necessary length with the skill required to perform the hairstyle.

I mostly hide it from people, and with hiding I actually mean hiding, I don't like to show my hair too much (for modesty reasons). As it's now becoming a lenght that will draw attention. Not on the LHC though, haha, I'm just getting long in here.... :-P
But I like showing it off to my husband, actually showing it off. Dramatic bun drops are only happening behind closed doors, but they are certainly happening....
This is me, exactly. In a bun during the day, in a braid during the night, loose only when air-drying after a wash or briefly to dry after a run/workout. I save wearing my hair down only for special occasions or when I´m feeling fancy (happens maximum twice a year). It wasn´t always like this, however. I used to wear my hair down all the time - I cannot comprehend that now, because it was always snagging on something and it was in a terrible shape as a result.
