Long Hair or Short Hair For Yourself?

Which do you like the best on yourself? I like mine short, but I wear it long in the winter and sometimes I grow it over 10 inches to give to "Locks of Love" I have done this 3 times. It takes my hair 2 years to grow 10 inches from a very short cut. I wear it short in the summer because I do a lot of yard work and it gets in my way when it is long. All the guys I know like it long but they don't have to deal with it. Which one do you like on yourself?

I prefer my hair long. I had really long hair when I got married, then I cut it short, then shorter. All the way to super short. I kept it that way for awhile. It is now about to the middle of my back again. It's easier for me to just pull it back in a ponytail when I want it out of the way then to have to style it every day.

I understand, but my hair doesn't stay in a ponytail for long. It is very slick and crawls when it is long. So, the short hair is easier for me to maintain.

I like both also. But it has been a very long time since I have had it short. I don't have it super long so I could donate to Locks of Love. But it is past my shoulders. My partner prefers it love and would be totally upset if I cut it super short again. LOL The last time I cut it that short, I was in the military. But it was not a men's hair cut. ha ha But even if I did grow it long enough, I could not send my hair to Locks of Love because I dye my hair frequently. It is a very good cause though!

I dye my hair too and they still accept it. That was the first thing I checked on and they said yes it was fine.

I prefer my hair on the longer side. My face is very round so I think I look better if my hair is a little past my shoulders.

I don't think I ever thought about the shape of my face and how long my hair should be. Maybe I should ask someone which looks better.

I like medium length, however my man loves it long and we've been together a year and a half and it's almost down to my butt, and I hate it!!! I want to cut it so bad (and have cut several inches 5-6 times, trying to not let it be so noticable, but he noticed, lol) but, he won't let me. I respect his decision although I'm not sure why, lol.

Most men do like it very long, but they don't have to deal with it. I think if they did they may change their minds.

You are so right. All the men out there who lOVE long hair do not have to deal with it and at times it is very tiring.

I would like for my hair to be short but my husband likes it long. It is such a pain being long. That is great thing that you do by donating your hair to "Locks of Love". I am sure you have made several people's lives better.

Thank you, I think all men like for their g/f or wife to have the long hair. Which I don't mind if it acts right. But the older I get the harder it is for me to keep it looking good. So I wear mine 1 inch below my ear, not real short but not long either.

i used to have really long hair when i was younger, but i really just don't like to take time to fuss with my hair..my life is hectic, and i now have wash and wear short hair..my hair is thin, so wearing it long was a problem..i've found that short is so much easier to care for, specially in the summer with the high humidity

I keep mine short. I don't like that growing out period. If my hair has a bad day I feel like I do too. Short is easier to deal with.

The growing out part is the hardest. Especially when it tickles on your neck all the time.

I like mine long I think you have to have a certain kind of a face to wear it short. And thats not me. That is very nice of you to donate you hair like that. You will be rewarded one day.

I am the same way. I want it long when I cut it and short when it is long.

I have been wearing short hair for years now. But this year maybe I am going to change my hairstyle to a long one. Seeing myself in the mirror with short hair all the times makes me feel a bit bored, I guess. So maybe I'll let my hair grow long this time.

I don't really like long hair. For me, I like my hair falling little bellow my shoulder. It takes lot of time and effort to take care of long hair.
