    I always thought most guys liked short hair, I'm actually surprised at all the comments about guys preferring long hair. Maybe I've just never seen a short cut that "didn't work" so I don't know better.

    ok so I shaved my head in the name of cancer in May. Since then I can't tell you how many men have told me how hot it is. It's kind of weird. I hear that GI Jane comment a lot. :) Funny stuff. I think it depends on the guy and the confidence....

    I have alopecia, so I am bald 24/7 & get the same complimentary comments from friends & strangers alike... I don't even pay attention to my lack of hair any more. It has been over 3 years since I have worn a wig or a hat & I LOVE it!

    My Hubby likes long. i have long thick hair but when its 115 here in az. i wanna hunt down the clippers. lol

    Thats why I got an a-line (shorter in back longer in front) I have long thick curly hair and I must say the salon school did an amazing job I dont look like a poddle with the shorter layers in back and it feels rediculously light!

    I LOVE long hair on women, but it's got to be well cared for.

    I'll tell ya one that I think doesn't work; I call it the duck-butt. Like Kate Gosslyn's old one where it's cut/shaved in the back but has length on the top so that the back of the head looks like a duck's *kitten*. From the front view it looks great, but... All I'm sayin is please consider what it looks like from behind too.

    If my man ever told me not to cut my hair or he preferred long hair, I'd tell him to start growing his out then because that's the only head of hair he has control over. I wear my hair the way I like it, he says I look nice however it is. Just sayin'

    Had to look that up and I agree... I can't say I've ever met anyone with that hairstyle before.

    I always thought the bald woman on the first Star Trek movie was HOT.

    Yes my boyfriend also uses that line that it looks good the way it is or he would be happy regardless, but he suggests not cutting it ever haha. but its my head, my hair in the end ill do what i want, just lucky for him it happens to be long.

    personally i think it depends on the woman. i recently went from past shoulder length hair to how short it is now because of a mishap at the salon. some days i love it, some days i hate it but i'm curious to see what guys think about it!

    My husband loves running his fingers through my hair, so if I get it cut above my shoulder, he gets bummed out even though he tries to hide it lol. And whenever we see a girl with really short hair, he'll say how it's ugly and she looks like a man. I guess it just depends on the guy, though.

    I recently got my hair cut shoulder length (its usually halfway to my butt!) and I love how my hair isnt slapping me in the face during workouts, and I save money on shampoo and it's so much easier. Especially since my hair is so thick. But I do miss the variation in styles I can do with long hair. Can't wait till it grows out a bit longer!

    Good point, Tharrop. I got a slightly below chin, a-line bob which is way more flattering than the "duck butt". When I saw that on Kate G., I thought it looked weird.

    My hubby says the same, but whenever I cut it above the collarbone, he gets bummed out lol. But I've always told him he is forbidden from shaving his head lol.
