the only issue I really have with mine is that it's got a ton of split ends and shit all throughout from years of not taking proper care of it, but it takes so long to grow out that I don't wanna cut it to get rid of them. life is suffering When the underside of my hair finally grows out long enough that it can be tied again (it was an undercut), I'll probably cut the top half to match and get rid of some of those dead ends.
Otherwise, I just tie it up when I'm doing any kind of activity where it might otherwise get in the way, or when it's really hot out, and I'm good. I actually find short hair more inconvenient for me, as it requires more maintenance. Plus it just ain't my style. But to each their own.
