Is Long Hair more Frugal than Short?

Most of my friends with long hair say its more of a pain to maintain but its more affordable than getting regular cuts. I'm curious what others do to save money in the hair care department.

I'm currently trying to grow my hair out. I haven't been to any salon in 3 months and my goal is to not cut my hair for another 1-2 years.

Thanks

EDIT: Hey everyone, so after a few days of thought, I CUT MY HAIR. yay. thanks to everyone. it'll be so nice not having to spend all the money on hair products, flat irons, etc, not to mention time saved. Doing my hair before took 3-4 hours tops.

Thanks!
