I had hair down to my ass for years and had no trouble keeping it clean and tangle free.  I didn't even use hairdryers or straighteners because they're terrible for your hair, just shampoo, conditioner and the occasional good brushing.  People used to stop me in the street to compliment me on it and always assumed it took 3 hours to maintain.  It was mostly fats who assumed this though.  My hair is still techinally long, but I cut it back a lot when I got into lifting because it was a huge pain to lay on the bench with all my hair going everywhere.  If I left it down, it would hit the floor and if I didn't, the ponytail would be in the way.  It's still longer than most obeasts keep their hair though because I like my long hair and like being feminine.  Oh, and it drives men wild too. Yes fats, being feminine isn't a bad thing.  I hope that triggers you lurking piggies.
