Long, short or very short?

What do y'all prefer, long hair, short hair or very short?

I've had long hair my whole life. For about a year and a half I've been toying with the idea of cutting my hair in an asymmetrical bob, like the now famous Pob. I always back out of doing it, because it's a huge change and I'm not convinced I'll wear it well? :?

I'll attach some photos: One shows the length of my hair now (and it's actually shorter than norm) and some others to show my facial structure.







What d'yah think...would "boyishly" short hair look good?

I'm also very attached to my long hair, and I was told it was a good factor in getting a man. :shock: And sadly, as I am single, that is entering into the equation. So...do guys really prefer long hair?

But, I do like the sophisticated and confident look the bob cut has.

Lately, I've been inspired by this cut...



...and thinking of going short, but not too short. So I've been growing out the front layers of my hair...



...like so...But I keep going back to thinking of just going SHORT if I'm gonna cut it. I mean, it'll go from very short to just plain ole' short anyway, right? :roll: It would just take awhile.

Hhmmmm...oh, decisions, decisions.

Personally I prefer long hair. In my opinion it's somehow more artistic (pretty odd diction I know) than short/half short hair.

But if you feel that new hairdo would suit you better, try it :D.

Thank you guys for your opinions!

Jehanzeb *wink* :lol:

TaMMa89 I always felt the same way. That's why I'm rather attached to it. But sometimes I feel like I'm getting to old to have long hair? Also, I thought short hair would look more professional since I'm in the market for a new job. :-|

RusticWildFire, I do love the Posh look, too...my only complaint is the shortness in the back...what is it called, rough hewn (any hair dressers here?!)? It's like shaved almost. That might freak me out. :shock: Other than that, I think it looks saucy and confident! But like Sissimut-icehestar said...I'm afraid I'll love it for a week then be all like, "I want it long again!" come the weekend. Haha..:wink:

In my opinion you're never too old to keep long hair :wink:. My grandma had great long hair during her last times. But as I said if you feel that short suit you better, try it!

What I prefer for myself is my long hair, it is kinda my vanity. BUT, I DO see alot of short cuts on chics that make them look so cute, some girls look good with short, some look good with long, and some look good reguardless.

I would say, MirrorStage, you fall into the last catagory, and would look great reguardless. The bob you picked out would be very flattering, but the long hair you have now is lovely too.

Long hair is much nicer on females.

You know it really depends what it is you like. Most men like women with long hair, I can see why tho, it looks very feminine and sensual. I just had my hair cut as well. It was halfway down my back and it is now at shoulder length. I have also had long hair all my life. I like shoulder length with layers as it you make it look nice down as well as putting it up when you need it to be practical.
Having a good hair dresser is what will make the difference, different people wear different hairstyles differently.

Your pics looks great :)

shoulder length is still good, any shorter and the female has to have a perfect face (for the look) to pull it off

I also like guys with long hair, my hubby has long hair. Some guys look ok with short hair, if they have the right look, or the right face, they can pull it off. :wink: But most guys look better with long hair, if they have hair that is....:lol:

I also like guys with long hair
I agree :wink:. Or some guys look better with short hair but then there is one attractive man type with it's long/half long hair.

Blah... I need to take a hairdresser too because my hair has worn and I have to refurbish my hairdo :roll:. I called my old trusted hairdresser and managed to made an appointment in the Monday after the next Monday. Can't wait but I don't want to change a hairdresser because she makes everything that any else hairdresser but is remarkably cheaper.

Lol i hate long hair on guys, some do suit it ...totally. But i prefure short hair on guys.

For myself ..... i have short. not really short, its still very much below my ears but not shoulder length / thick and layered. heh. and like 4 colours in it, lol.


Long hair is more feminine, and i have had my current bf ( as well as a past one ) say i should grow mine a bit longer some time, but i always protest. hehe. i love my short hair.
And because im not really that girly i think it suits me more.

For myself, I prefer long hair. I tried the short-short cut when I was a kid and everyone mistook me for a boy (the cowboy boots and my brothers old wranglers didn't help the image). I don't think I would have that problem now with all my womanly attributes ;-) but now I just like long hair better. Some women can pull off the short look, I am not among them. As everyone else has said, if you want to try something new, then just do it. If you don't like it, your hair will grow back eventually.

And by the way, what are you talking about "too old for long hair"? You look all of 17 in those pictures.

I'm turning 30 this year. :shock:


Also, CacheDawnTaxes and DarkChylde, you guys added in a compliment! Awww, shucks. :oops: Made me blush!! Thank you!

You look very pretty with long hair.

but it is your choice to cut or not. LOL

Me myself, I like to run my fingers through long hair
and smell the fragrance of the shampoo and
womanly scent.

But I am also a romantic. LOL.

Hahahaha! I don't even know an "A" a "B" or a "C" of Romance! I am totally 0 at it, a big fat red 0. The same colour 0 which usually kids get in their primary school maths tests :D

Not sure if youre still looking for opinions but I thought I'd give my two cents :)

I'm a cosmetologist and have been for the past 8 years! You have a nice face shape that you'd be able to pull off the Pob! I think it would look great on you!

The bad thing about short hair is you miss your long hair after a while and you can't pull it up when its that short....well not easily at least :) Long is easy to pull up whenever you need it but short hair is much easier to take care of. Plus going that short your hair will be very healthy since you cutting off all the ends which no matter how well you take care of your hair you're going to have dead ends.

Short hair means less shampoo, conditioner and less time blow drying too ;)
