Isn't it ironic how men seem to be born with the features that women covet? Healthy hair...long, thick eyelashes...etc. And all with minimum effort! Meanwhile we have to spend ungodly amounts of time and $$$ to maintain ourselves. It just ain't right. 

My former husband was notorious in his teens and early 20's for his long hair. The longest he ever had it was mid-back length, like your friend's, and he would also occasionally dye it black with a semi-permanent.
    His natural colour and texture changed quite a bit as he grew older, however. When I met him, his hair was shoulder length and nearly blonde with a slight natural wave. But it grew much darker and curlier through the years...and began falling out when he was 22. By 26, he was very nearly bald (a subtle bit of revenge for me, as we were divorced by then  ).

Strangely enough, my last bf had great hair, too...when he left it alone, that is. Naturally, it was cornsilk blonde (but with far more dimension than you typically see in blonde hair) with a loose wave and thicker than a horse's tail. He treated it terribly and it still looked better than mine.    Ah well. He probably shaved his head after we broke up anyway. lol

But yeah, I totally see where you're coming from. Guys have it so easy...
