Trimming long hair regularly, every 6 to 8 weeks, will help maintain its length and keep it smooth and attractive. Frequent trimming reduces the chances of split ends appearing halfway up the hair, eliminating the need for drastic cuts to remove them.

Special care needs to be taken when long hair is exposed to the sun or frequent swimming. Use a hat or sunscreen hair cream to protect it from UV rays, which can dry it out and cause damage. Similarly, wear a plastic swimming cap to shield long hair from chlorine in pools or salt in the ocean.

There are millions of men who adore women with short, sexy haircuts, seeing them as confident and self-assured both in and out of the bedroom. However, men are creatures of habit, and for centuries, long hair has been considered the epitome of female beauty and sexuality.

Attempting to shatter this age-old belief, deeply ingrained in culture for generations, is almost an unattainable mission - though not so unattainable if a woman's long locks are frizzy and speckled with split ends.

Hair and what style is considered sexy is both a cultural fad and an individual preference, greatly influenced by nature and fashion. Therefore, generalizing what type of hair is more 'sexy' is an unfair conjecture. For example, while in America, women with long hair are glorified, in countries such as France, short hair is often considered sexy and feminine.

There is, however, a phenomenon known as 'Rapunzel culture,' whereby long hair and the health, vitality, fertility, and beauty it can promote are idolized by both men and women alike. However, in contemporary society, with all the pollution, hectic lifestyles, and an overabundance of styling appliances and products, long hair is rarely representative of health and vitality. Instead, long hair has succumbed to short hair in the battle for vitality.

Yes, long hair can be sexy, extremely sexy, but to reach that level of sexiness, it requires an awful lot of tender loving care.
