I had hair down to my knees and donated 24" to locks of love last year. I have grown it out again. It is now about down to my butt again. I usually wear it in a pony tail or in a bun. I never wear it down because it just gets in my way. I wash mine every other day. It is very fine, but I have alot of it. It is very shiny and in overall good health for a 40 yo. I keep it trimmed to keep the ends from looking split. It is all one length.
I will say that most men love long hair.
