edenfallingMission: Haircut is a success!
The thing that annoys me about long hair is having to take care of it. My scalp is oily enough that I need to wash my hair every day, which means I run through a lot of shampoo and conditioner and spend five to ten minutes with a blow dryer each morning.
The thing that annoys me about short hair, on the other hand, is having to get it trimmed every six weeks or so. This requires me to get to the haircutter and also to pay about twenty dollars each time (tip included), which adds up.
I think if I were paying my own electric bill, the savings from hardly using a blow dryer would combine with the savings from not buying so much shampoo and conditioner to roughly equal the cost of eight haircuts a year, but since my electric bill is figured into my monthly rent as a fixed cost, I think it is actually slightly more expensive for me to have short hair.
On the other hand, it lets me sleep in an extra ten minutes every morning, which is worth more than you might think. :-)
