Mine was just down past my bum kinda long, but I was wearing it tied up more often then not to keep the sides out of my eyes.
So, shaved just the sides (no5) and gave the rest a few inches of trim and that was cool n groovy for a few weeks. Prior to that I hadn't had it cut for about 15 years, hardly any split ends though.
The worst thing about long hair in summer is how hot it makes me down my back. I can't wear it outside my leathers or it'll be a tangled knot after a couple of miles. Tucked into my leathers and it's just so goddamn hot down my back. So I've jsut ended up tieing it up again all summer.
I'm finally giving serious consideration to cutting it all off.
