    I prefer women with long hair, but I seem to be attracted to women with all lengths. The other features seem to make the difference.

    I'm still torn as to what I'm going to do. Every week, I say "I'm going to go this weekend" and tab weekend never comes!

    I don't know which would be more of a hassle. I straighten my hair all the time and it's time consuming! My ends are so damaged from the flat iron. It's ridiculous! Even if I don't get it cut short, I definitely need a good 4" cut....at least!

    I have big hair so it's harder to pull off short styles besides I want to grow my hair out to 40" long. I'm at 24" now.

    I just recently cut mine all off... I love it and it's so easy! Also much better for working out :)

    Sounds like all you really want is the dead ends gone. Just get a trim :)

    I have zero attachment to my hair.... I'll grow it out long then chop it off. Keep it short for a while, grow it out... Since 14 yrs old its been short more than long and its what I prefer (even "bic'd" it once)

    Thankfully my hubs doesnt care what I do with my hair either, as long as its kept clean and reasonable

    Waist to tailbone is where I'd prefer to have mine. I usually wear it up with hairsticks.

    Short hair was so high maintenance and expensive, too much work for me.

    I'm very attached to my long hair as far as aesthetics... maintenance wise it's a pain -_-;

    I agree with this.

    For me personally, I prefer to wear my hair long. My views on hair are not exactly average though. I consider anything between shoulders and waist to be medium length. My own hair does not behave well when short or medium length. It's much easier to deal with when it's at least hip-length. When it's long it's quick and easy to put up in a bun or back into a braid. I don't have to use styling products or any heat styling devices on my hair. Those sorts of things annoy me, so I like to avoid them.

    Some people prefer to wear their hair short because it's easier for them. It really depends on your hair type and what you consider to be work versus what you consider to be fun.

    What do you like about long hair? What do you like about short hair? Are you just looking for a change? I'd think carefully and try to figure out what would make you happiest.

    On men or women?

    Most women look much better with long hair, but thats just a personal thing.

    Men, hmmm difficult, I'm kind of of bias because I have long hair and have always had it, not insanely long just past shoulder length, but some men it looks good on and some men it just looks tragic on, I wouldn't care to comment on myself, lol.

    Ive had mine pixi short a couple of times i hated it.. its messy and hard work when its short because of its natural curl, plus my husband used to love it when i woke up and i looked the same as when i went to bed instead of having bed head hair stuck up everywhere..not a sexy look lol

    I think to each their own. I think some people can't pull off short; I also think some people can't pull off long. I personally like my hair shorter because it is so fine that when it is longer than my shoulders it just looks stringy, in my opinion.

    When I cut my hair short (again) this last time, this is the picture I gave my stylist.

    I've had both and find that I like mine short. Remember it's just hair and it will always grow back if you don't like it. You are very beautiful but could pull off a short spiky haircut. Good luck.

    long (at least shoulder length) for me..I've crazy *kitten* curls and unless its long I look ridiculous. RIDICULOUS. I literally cried when I saw my hair curly and short, it added years. but with straight hair you can get away with more. You're hair looks lovely long, if it were mine I'd probably be wary to cut it.

    I debated it for well over a year and now, I don't think I'll ever grow my hair out. Short hair is so much easier for me - my husband likes it so that's all I need!

    With curly hair there is DEFINITELY a lot more to think about. There are only two options, perfect or disaster. Most stylists at least know what to do with strait hair. You can spend years trying to find a decent stylist that knows how to work with curly hair. :grumble:

    If you need validation from internet strangers, you lack the confidence needed for short hair.

    One thing is for sure.....I would never get a pixie because I don't have that great hair. My hair is super curly and frizzy which is why I straighten it. The shortest I would ever go is like to my shoulders. I need to be able to pull my hair up if I want to....besides, my husband needs something to grab! lol

    Pause! I do not lack confidence...at all.

    I was looking for opinions on the subject in general. I didn't say "hey guys....let me know what I should do...short or long on me?" Eww. I will not base my decision on what strangers think. That would be silly. lol

    I am personally more pro to long hair than short. It depends on so many things if you can pull it off nicely. With me having wavey(ish) hair and my face shape short hair just looks pretty horrid on me. Like a pumpkin head and some hair. On it is the best way I can describe it. I envy those ladies can do the short hair. So much more manageable but anywho yeah I am for long.

    OMG! me too! I cut my hair a couple years ago a little past my shoulders and I went out with a group of friends that night to celebrate a friends birthday and it was so weird. I definitely felt naked! LOL

    It's so wild how our hair makes one feel. Hair is important though...it could make or break a person. As far as appearance.

    Me too. If I could rock the short pixie cut...I totally would.

    I love your side swept bangs by the way. I LOVE bangs!

    This is interesting hearing everyone's opinion.

    I agree with a lot of you....it depends on the person, facial structures....and personality.

    I see women who looks absolutely amazing in short hair...so confident, sexy, etc....I just don't know if that can be me. I don't even like my hair pulled up because I feel no so attractive. But again, it's my security blanket. Probably because I'm not happy with my weight. Who knows. ugh

    If you feel like that, do not cut your hair short.

    I love all hair lengths on males or females, just depends on the person and their style. Obviously I'm currently doing the short hair thing, which I quite like, but growing out the layers a bit to change it up. Any style can get stale. Fortunately there are many ways to change your look whether cutting your hair is part of the equation or not.
