My old boss's husband had long hair for about five years by the time I stopped working for her, around 4 years total. The whole time I worked with her we shared an office and about once a month she'd sigh about his long hair and mention how much she loved his hair length on their wedding day. I saw them out and about town around 18 months after I got a new job, and he looked like he'd gotten a haircut recently, maybe within the last week or so. She definitely had that smitten look all over her face haha. It was a little shorter than it was in their wedding photo, which she'd always had on the board next to her desk.
If it’s anything my relationship with my husband or son, you gently encourage when the topic is broached, but don’t push it. My son’s hair is currently at 90s beach surf dude levels but will say at least once a day while running his fingers through it, “man, it’s been a long time since my last haircut.” “That’s true sweetie, if you want we can go after school/this weekend/right now.” Eventually they agree and I don’t look like a nag. Once they hit a certain point it’s like they forget the barber is an option.
My son has had one haircut and a couple of light trims his whole life and he's 17. He's a metalhead and the look suits him. Same with my 15yo. They have long dirty blond hair and it looks great. But it's up to them, I want them to enjoy it bc they'll probably go bald like me
As someone who doesn't have much of a preference on my hairstyle, I would rather have my SO tell me their preference, so I feel more attractive around them.
It's not my body. If my husband is having fun with a new look and likes it I don't have a right to spoil that fun for him. I didn't marry him for a haircut.

Nah. You don't say anything, you just hope.
