I'm unsure if we're talking about the same hairstyle. Because the one I'm referring to didn't really add much length to the original version to qualify as "long" in my opinion.
Mid at best? Or perhaps the long hair you're referring to is another revision that Caribdis did down the line?
Either way, totally agree that girls do change their looks around and that's cool. Just wasn't expecting it, and in the end, a personal preference that didn't pan out. No dis intended to those who liked the revision btw. To each, their own.
