I am trying to grow my hair out. I have never had long hair, though, I have tried to several times but I could never push through that awful distracting mid-length phase and would run to get it cut. This time though, I made it through. However, I am getting a lot of feedback about it so I have put together a Top 10 list of reasons I am growing it out and posted them on Twitter today.

I have arranged these back into the order in which they were originally tweeted:
