I strolled across a huge traditional fairground in my German hometown last night with my family (not particularly a Renaissance or Medieval fairground where extraordinary hair lengths can be expected). It attracts crowds from the entire region, and it was as full as it usually is on a mild October night with pleasant weather.

I was delighted to see so many girls and women with waist-length or tailbone-length hair there.

There really was a surprising amount of long-hair temptation around for a person like me, even if I didn´t get to see anything longer than what I just said.

I just felt pleasantly reassured that there seems to be quite a home for nice decently long hair even in an average town in rural Germany.
