I wasn't bothered; as a kid my hair care/style was out of MY control and usually was kept short.
I grew it long in high school, but never fussed with it, and eventually cut it short from 25-30.
I had more style sense in my 40's when I grew it out again after a stylist chop .
Had another stylist mishap and cut it short when I was 50....until I was 61 and decided to grow long and silver until my last breath
Now I am fully focused on hair length and style in my 60s
