You know even though I personally dislike having long hair, I can't help but have admiration for the people who not only maintain their rope of hair, but sometimes take the time to style it in complex/difficult ways.
I mean look at all these!
They (probably with the help of someone) took all this effort to make their hair a work of art! Even though it's not nearly as permanent as hair dye or tattoos, they still do it! Even just braiding my hair in the most basic hair style was difficult for me, but those people have such a lovely talent for braiding (and possibly weaving, in some cases)!
