    I think long hair is really sexy and so does my husband....which is why my hair is down to my *kitten*. BUT now it's really starting to annoy me and get in my way so I'll be cutting it soon.

    I prefer long hair. I had hair down to the bottom of my butt before I cut it to nothing (short on back and sides and only a few inches on the top) in April. I MUCH before the long hair. My hair has grown about four inches since April but it's soooooo boring. I don't like it this long. I used to have it chin length before I grew it out and I loved that. But then the second it grew it looked horrible. So on myself I like chin length but I think overall I like hip length the most. I plan on growing it back out to about hip length or so and keeping it there.

    I hate it when my hair is any shorter than my shoulders. I don't like it too long. Mid back maybe? It's pretty long right now. The last time I got it cut was maybe January? I get my hair cut about twice a year lol. I'm just too lazy to find a new hair dresser since I moved.

    I prefer having long(ish) hair. I don't know I just like it better. I have really thick hair so when it's short it tends to look kind of awkward on me and I can never just wash it and let it dry... when it's short I HAVE to take the time to style it if I want it look to look decent. When it's long, I can just take a shower and let it air dry if I want and it looks fine. And I can also wear it curly (I guess it's more wavy) when it's long. I can't do that when it's short. It doesn't really look right.

    It purely depends on the person. Some suit short hair and some suit long hair. And some suit mid-length. I prefer long but I don't like hair that's tooo long. If it's long then it needs to be in good condition and taken care of otherwise there's no point in having long hair if it's dry and has lots of split ends. Short hair can be pretty cute, it depends on how you style it xx

    i like long hair. i keep mine so long (and still growing) that i had to stand during my last trim. :)
    but some girls really pull off short and medium length hair very very well, so depends on the person definitely.

    I love my hair shorter...I stack it up in the back, longer in the front like a bob. I couldn't stand dealing with it anymore.. Now it generally always looks good, which is super :tongue:

    When I was heavy I liked my hair short, now that I'm thinner, I have not cut it since I was 200lbs + so I'm hoping to keep it growing, I want it to my waist.

    The longest my hair has been was past my rear. It was so long I had to pull it over my shoulder to keep from sitting on it. My husband loved it but it was a hassle. I finally cut it to mid length, and then eventually to above my shoulders. I get far more compliments on the shorter hair, but my husband misses it lol.

    I only like long hair if it's in good condition and not boring or just yanked back into a ponytail. I keep mine short because I like 60s mod/ French gamine styling, and can do lots of fun, funky and feminine things with it. I'm sure it reads as manly or "lesbian" to other people, but I kind of think thats a limitation of a closed mind rather than a limitation of my ability to do my hair. I also just like to look different than other people, and I feel that short hair is the way to go for me.

    Long hair. I'm growing mine out and have been for the last year. It's finally (!) to my shoulders. Although I do want it longer, I don't want it super-long. My hubby loves that it's longer, he constantly compliments me on it.

    I like really long hair. Mine grazes the top of my jeans. I wouldn't want it any other length :)

    I used to like my hair really, really short but I'm partial to my longer hair since I grew it out. Right now it's just past my shoulders and it's nice to wear up and things. I want to grow it about 6 more inches. It is a lot of work though, I will say that short hair was much easier to maintain and make look nice.

    That's totally me, only I just want my to my bra strap. I wonder why, you'd think we'd have longer hair when we were heavier to "hide behind", right?

    Thank you !!

    Have you heard anything not nice about Pantene's hair donation program? I wonder if they are any better.

    Not sure what to do now, my hair is to my waist and it's gonna get cut soon, it needs it. I normally keep it around the area of my back bra strap.

    I had super long hair...almost to my waist and then I chopped it all off (yes I donated) and I have great short hair now! I love my short hair! In fact I am getting it cut shorter tomorrow! :)

    I love my hair the most about halfway down my back. But once a year, I'll cut it shoulder length and when it grows to my waist, usually in a year, I'll get it cut again. My hair is really thick too, so it's a lot of maintenance, but I love having long hair.

    I have a short pixie cut because when it was long it was a nightmare to deal with. To be honest, it makes me quite sad that the majority of people prefer long hair, but I feel comfortable with my hair style as it is and I think it is the only way it suits me, so I wouldn't change it.

    I think it is fantastic that you are donating it :)

    Mine is currently the longest it's been in years, right past my shoulders to the bottom of my shoulder blades. Normally, my hair is cut into a bob or stacked bob and I pull it off quite well. I'm dying to have long hair again (haven't had it long since I was 7 and begged my mother to have it whacked off). My goal is to have it long enough that when I pull it forward over my shoulders, it covers the girls completely ;)

    I think you look DARLING and it suits you very well! Short hair really requires the perfect little face.

    I like longish hair but I went to the hair dresser and she chopped it off shorter than I wanted it :frown: Not doing that again!!!!!

    Since I cut my hair way shorter than I ever had (it's now at my shoulders), I've been in love with it! And I never thought short hair would be a viable option for me, but I guess that at this time of my life it just fits.
