    Cut mine short in June. Not sure if others like it, but I like not having to deal with the hair dryer and flat-iron:wink:

    I worked with a girl who kept her hair so short ... less than a 1/4 in. She was beautiful... perfectly shaped head, very thin. There are not many women who could pull this off. I think it depends on your shape as to where your hair length should be. I keep mine just above my shoulders because I am so short... long hair makes me heavier and Lord knows I don't need that! When I lose the weight, I'll most likely keep this length.

    Some women look great in short hair. I'm letting my hair grow long for now. I'm inspired by a few older women in my church who have long hair.

    Shaved my head in May for $ for cancer. It's growing out now and is almost long enough for a pixie. :) Love it and have never gotten so many compliments on my hair. Men seem to like it. :)

    Good for you! You're awesome :):)

    I'd been wanting short hair for awhile but felt too fat for it. After I lost the first 40 pounds and my face was thinner, I just grabbed the clippers and buzzed it all off...then I bleached it...then I got pink and blue in it.

    I'm probably still too fat for it, and at 33 maybe I'm too old for the color, but I like it. It seems to express who I'm trying to become through this journey.

    Like all life, I think it depends on the individual. I've seen it on girls where I loved it, and vice versa. Personally, the bob is almost always ok.

    I would love a hair cut like that, but my face is too wide to pull it off.

    I would love to be able to try it at some point, but I know right now it would just look bad. I promised myself that when I get to goal weight, I'll chop all my hair off, just because I can. Whether it will look good or not at that point is another story. I have really thick hair, but it's really wavy so I'd have to get a good style. All in all though, I think some women are suited to short hair and some are not.

    If you like it, don't worry about what anyone else thinks. That's the way I feel about having long hair at my age (57). :smile: But I think you look great. :flowerforyou:

    Turning 25 hasn't helped that.

    Please don't say that! LOL

    I turned 50 this year. You are a youngster, and your hair looks great:bigsmile:

    We are currently experiencing 100 degree temps. As someone with hair down to my lower back, currently stuck up in a messy frizzy ponytail, I am currently envious of _anyone_ who can pull off a short cut. :tongue:

    I agree that some women can really pull off the look while it's just not so great on others. I think it's always best to give a new style a trial run, first. There are applications out there that allow people to upload a picture and preview new haircuts with their faces before making commitments (e.g. stellure.com, which is currently offline so try http://www.similarsitesearch.com/alternative/stellure.com).

    Since my hair grows out instead of down, short is the only way I avoid looking like a shrubbery (or Bozo the Clown)...so I'm all in favor of short hair.

    @ abyt42 - Oh my goodness these have been my exact words for years! I'm not happy this also happens to you, but I'm happy I'm not alone :happy:

    Like everyone else said... it depends on the person... their personality, face shape, and hair texture. I've had mine fairly short and while it was cute when styled I hated that I couldn't just throw it in a ponytail. I HAD to fix it... and having natural curls that I straighten... it certainly was not wash-and-go.

    I'm actually having the should-I-cut-my-hair delimma right now. I've kept medium-short (just below my chin... think long bob) hair for a while now. I like that it's lower maintainence and healthier because I get it cut more often, but I sometimes miss being able to do different styles. I've always thought long hair was so beautiful but I'm also very practical. I work out all the time and I have other stuff to do besides mess with my hair...

    I think what it comes down to more is what works for your lifestyle...
