Long Hair... Don't care

Clearly, my post was meant to be taken 100 percent literally, so well done JoRocka. You have completely ignored the fact that even as a man, I might just possess a sense of humor and maybe a tad of sarcasm. Yes, I prefer long hair. Yes, I like sammiches. But I also like women with brains, personalities and the ability to remove giant chips from their shoulders.

I understood that it was sarcastic.

Did you?

And I get that I get really confused when I'm out side the kitchen (which I am currently- so my mental faculties are greatly reduced- I'm also not pregnant so I know that's a mark against my reasoning skills too)...

As opposed to the fact that I JUST said I actually like women with brains....

but the point still needed addressing- I wasn't personally attacking- and I'm also not in a kerfuffle about it- I was merely addressing the words you said... I am not irritated by it- simple matter of fact.

Clearly.

I could get irritated - and it would have come out significantly differently- so I can go that route now if you like- but I was happy to just be matter of fact about it - you're call.

*your

Please get irritated now. I would love to see the difference.

now whose missing the sarcasm....

There would be a significantly larger number of ** marks- plus I'm up to 2 marks already. LOL- no thanks- plus now you're (yes YOU ARE) just baiting me.

*who's

Bahahahaha!
Ahem.
Carry on.

I went for a completely new style, I went dark from being blonde and also got a nice solid fringe/bangs cut it, I wanted to look diffterent in the mirror, even though I know I'd lost weight I was having trouble seeing it so I felt a change of hair was in order.

Me before with shoulder length hair:



Me now with pixie cut (super short):




I love my short hair!

This looks FABULOUS on you!

I wouldn't advise anyone who has had long hair for a number of years to have it cropped short, one extreme to another can be traumatic nd may cause problems with your confidence. Have a style cut into it below shoulder length , then if you still want to go shorter ..go for it!

At least it will grow back if you don't like it.

That pixie is SO flattering!!

I'm 41. I look 20years older with short hair, I get compliments every day on my waist length hair, I think older ladies with great condition hair look fab, and when I'm really old and wrinkly I can swish up what will be my grey locks into a sophisticated French pleat or a single French plat.

My hair is all the way to my knees. I mostly keep it up in this twizty bun thing so no one ever notices. I have been wanting it cut back up to about my waist line (the shortest I will EVER go) and letting it come back on its own again. I do know id love to get it dyed(its always dyed black, naturally dark brown. But I want it black with red bangs and red underneath....) and styled a little when its cut. Its alll one length and always has been. I haven't had bangs since I was like 14 and even then my were past my chin. Another 23 pounds and that will be a mini goal reward(50 pounds down)!

I have the best of both. I shave underneath my hair and I can either wear my hair long and you would never know or short with my hair braided up.

I don't like it shorter as personally I don't think really short hair is feminine looking. I have nothing against people with extremely short hair (I have an Aunt with really short hair) it's just a personal view. The shortest I've ever had it was chin length and I wouldn't go shorter then that. Though see my original post to know why I don't really want to take it that short again!

here's the thing. Feminine has NOTHING to do with what you look like.

It's about how you behave. Bald headed women can be delicate and feminine.

I am pretty sure next to ballarine- this is probabably one of the more "feminie things" you can do with yourself.... and I still rock it with short hair- this is from this weekend- it's been shorter and longer than this- and I am a performer who gets paid to dance- so I'd say looks mean something- and I'm still getting gigs.

Noticed I said PERSONALLY as it's MY opinion. I don't feel feminine with shorter hair. I also feel more feminine when I'm wearing skirts then when I am wearing jeans. Not that I have anything against jeans.
Though this morning I was glaring at my hair in the mirror and thought I should trim the ends of an inch or two. Not that that would help the breakage through my hair any.

I have a habit of growing mine out and then cutting it off. Right now it's a couple inches past my shoulders, and I want to see if I can get it longer. However, I have a LOT of issues with breakage, that makes me want to cut it short! However, when I have it above my shoulders, I remember why I don't like it short! One end will curl under and the other side flips out, no matter what I do with it!

Minus the breakage, I do the same thing. My hair is fine and thick, Locks of Love probably makes multiple wigs with my hair alone! :laugh: Fine plus thick plus straight equals a pain in the butt to take care off (it tangles really easily), especially when long. So, I usually grow it out to somewhere around my lower back, then chop it off, so they get a good donation. I actually just got mine cut a couple of weeks ago. It started at about my waist (I know it's time to cut, when the braid still reaches my waist!), and I got it cut up to my jaw line (I wanted shorter, but I couldn't find a style I liked that I didn't have to spend a bunch of time styling every morning). We didn't get an official measure, but I calculated it out to be about two feet that I chopped off.

I like doing it this way, not only because it generates donations, but also because it gives me some variety. After a while, I get tired of short hair, so I let it grow out, then after it's been longer for a while, I start getting sick of it being long and I chop it.

Women seem to cut their hair short for themselves (just to do something different, make a statement about something, or because they are sick of managing it) and not really to appeal to the opposite sex.

Depends on who you talk to, a lot of guys do like short hair, and a lot of women look a lot sexier with pixies than long hair, but yeah, you're not the one that has to take care of it, so the owner of the hair gets the final say. For what it's worth, though, my husband is generally of the same opinion as you -- he prefers longer hair, and I kept threatening to take the clippers I use for him and our son to my own hair. He found he liked the bob I got, though.

Women look boyish with short hair. Grow it down to your butt.

1. I think she looks less like a teenager and more sexy with the shorter hair.

2. It's not short hair, in and of itself, that makes a face look "boyish." It's a matter of getting the right cut and style for your face. The same can happen with longer hair, too (where the style is unflattering to the person), but short hair is less forgiving on that front (the same also goes for guys with long hair -- the wrong cut/style makes a guy look like a girl or a bum, while the right one makes him look sexy as hell). Like JoRocka said, you need a good stylist that does well cutting short styles and can tailor a cut to your facial structure.

3. The day you take care of my hair (washing it, brushing it, styling it, the whole nine yards), is the day you can dictate how long I keep it. kthx

I cut off all my hair (regardless of my weight .. see pics) and I received a ton of compliments. Short hair is stylish, fun, flirty, etc. I think to pull of long hair it must be healthy, thick, and shiny....everyone tells me never to go back to my long hair. Just go for it. Get a great stylist and get a "fun" style!

I also have fine hair; however mine is also thin. I don't think they would be able to use my hair. (Plus I do color it. There has been this other color starting to show up that at 34 I am way to young to have!)
