A lot of gals love the hair + it's not a lot of effort. And you don't have to use nasty, greasy, sticky gel or wax all the time. It's naturally that way, and you don't look like a daft **** spiking it up and shit. Also, you can headbang and look like a cool motherfucker

Short haired kids are probably that way cause if they grew it, their parents would go berzerk. Thankfully, my parents are cool
