Jeph hates long hair?!
Carl-E:
Hasidic Jews, but that's particular hairs (the Peyot, the sideburn curls) and the beard. The rest can be cut at will. And married orthodox Jewish women should keep their hair covered; some wear veils, snoods or hats, but older generations would shave their real hair and wear wigs instead.
This included my mom's mother, who I never saw without one of her blond wigs.
Barmymoo:
How interesting - and how consistent with my understanding of the way orthodox Jews often deal with the more restrictive rules; like the ways that the prohibition on working on the Sabbath has been interpreted and dealt with. A Jewish storyteller I knew once told a story of what she called classic Jewish thinking: she had told her son not to eat any more of the sweets from a packet he had, and gone out of the room. When she returned he was in the process of putting another sweet in his mouth, and she told him off for disobeying. He retorted "I wasn't eating it! I was washing it in my mouth!".

--- Quote from: Barmymoo on 12 Nov 2012, 15:35 ---I was also going to make the point that it takes about five minutes to cut your hair short, and many many many months to grow it back. I've been growing out my fringe since April and it's still not quite long enough to tuck behind my ears.
--- End quote ---
And the five-minute change is a lot more fun for an artist--"Woo! Character x has a new look!" Deciding to have character x grow her hair out, having to remember to lengthen it incrementally for several QC-time months (maybe years in non-QC time) and keep track of where you are in the process, would just be tedious.
Method of Madness:
Didn't he make Dora's hair longer during one of the time skips?
pwhodges:
There was also the period when Dora was growing out her dyed hair.
