The past few years, I just buzzed it short and then let it grow out for about half a year or so, then buzz it again, half a year was long enough for it to be considered too long at meetings, but no one said anything to me, except the one time I added 19th century sideburns to the equation, then an elderly brother said if I allowed those sideburns to get any thicker or lower, he would come and shave them off at night while I was sleeping...
Now I'm liking a shorter style, I usually comb it up at the front and keep it pretty short everywhere else. This helps in Canadian winters because you are always wearing a toque outside and then if you have a longer style its not going to stay, plus I have oily skin and scalp and this leads to my hair looking greasy 2 hours after I shower when I'm wearing a hat, so yeah shorter style is better for this

On the flip side....I know it wasn't required for the "sisters" to have long hair, but...it was "smiled upon" in some of the halls I have been to. And, the WTBTS always pictures Eve (the perfect woman) with long glorious hair. So, as a witless, I always tried to have mine long. My hair doesn't grow that great, so when I left I got a short sassy hair cut, and have had it on the short side since.

lol I wish I had a pic to post, but they were stored on an old computer. Anyway, I had my brother SHAVE my head! It was awesome and very possibly the most liberating thing I've ever done. My mom didn't talk to me for two weeks. LOL I've since let it grow back out but more because my new husband would have a fit. lol Hell, my dad wouldn't even let my sisters and I get our first hair cut until we were 12 years old.
