I think I have figured out why moms of young babies tend to cut their hair short, and it has nothing to do with either grabby baby fingers or the high maintenance of long hair. (Seriously, my hair is quite long and to call it high maintenance would be laughable.) Nope, it's got to be the post-partum hair loss. I'm shedding gobs of hair and it's driving me bananas. I'm tempted to chop it all off just so I won't have to deal with anymore.
Not that I'll actually do it. But it's tempting.
