Short hair on women?

I prefer shorter hair on women. Anywhere from a few inches long to just below the ears is much more attractive to me than shoulder-length or longer. I guess it's because I like more androgynous women, whereas longer hair has traditionally been seen as feminine, but I find waist-length hair repulsive.
I got a haircut like this when I was in junior high. It made me look about 5 years old. I'd like to try short hair. Everyone I know who has tried it has liked how easy it was to take care of.Daystar Clarion said:It really depends on the woman and the style, but yeah, I do tend to like short hair on a lady
I seen quite a few really attractive women with short hair so yeah I think it can work. As for whether or not all women look good with short hair, well I think it's like beards, not all men can pull off beards (I know I can't). Whether or not you can pull of short haur, I can't really say without seeing a picture.
Sounds to me like its a matter of taste. Personally I think it looks good. Especially on Carey Mulligan 
Personally I find it to be dependent on a combination of personality and body type. Basically if your going to do something like the pixie cut, you need the body and personality to back it up to pull it off. Most who have it, DONT pull it off. But in their defense many who try it do so because they have the wrong person with their own agenda whispering in their ear talking them into it.
1. "very short" is a very relative term. for one, I consider hair "just below ears" still "kind of long"
2. I noticed one thing that I tend to present as an universal axiom, and at least in my opinion it is: Any and all women look better with long hair, and any and all women look the best with their long hair loose (no fancy hairstyles, ponytails, anytails, anything).
3. I "made" this "axiom" about 8 years ago. Since then, I've met only ONE girl which might possibly look worse (/less good) with long hair, and she's kind of male type (in a strange female way) face-wise.
4. When my (girl)friends (as in actual girlfriends, and also female friends) shorten their hair, I usually scream painfuly inside, then, having no other option, I get used to it and patiently wait for it to grow again.
5. there's a point where variations in hair length don't matter anymore, for me it's "longer than 4 cm below shoulders". Any changes beyond this limit are recognizable, but do not affect the overall look of "womanly long hair" that's so important and beneficial imo.

I have a pixie cut, and I can say that there's more than one way to cut a pixie, same way as there's more than one way to skin a cat. You need to work out what style best suits your face shape. I have a hairdresser who is very helpful, but I have also found buying those crappy hair mags helpful. Ignore all the words - what you're looking for is the pictures. Find the hairstyles that you like the best and then narrow them down by finding the models whose face shapes are the closest to your own.
I struggle with posting pictures in posts (help plz?), otherwise I'd show you my own multicoloured pixie cut.
I think, in general, short hair on girls is like beards on men - some can do it, some can't, but there are usually more styles of short hair/beards out there than one might think, and usually you can find a style that suits you. And if you do go for the big chop and regret it, never fear! Hair grows back!

I'm not attracted to women, but I think they look good with short hair, generally. If their face isn't shaped for it, though, it tends to look strange. I find the same is true for all hairstyles, for both men and women. The face has a lot to do with whether a hairstyle looks good.
Right click the picture you want to link, "copy image url", paste it in a post and put it in ["img"][/"img"] (without the quotes) tags. If your problem is with hosting, I suggest uploading it to photobucket or putting it in a public dropbox folder.RaphaelsRedemption said:
Depends on the girl. In general terms, I do find girls with short hair sexier than those with longer hair but there is a point I don't think it looks good at all.
While it totally depends on the cut (there's an ill-defined, but very real, difference between a women's hair cut short and a men's haircut on a woman), I am almost always in favor of women with short hair.
Short hair doesn't try and choke me to death when spooning. It also doesn't take someone I'm waiting on 2 hours to shower and prep for a night out. Functionality aside, I just find women with short hair sexier. They remind me of my misspent adolescent crushes on alternative/punk rock girls in bands I like (oh, Agent M...*sigh*).
Also, hippies have long hair. Fuck hippies.

In some cases, it can be a bit jarring (mostly meaning when someone you know has always had long hair then has it chopped very short), but those aren't too common in my experience, and they still look fine anyway. Each woman is different, some look better with long hair, others are better with short.
Sorry for not really giving an answer, but if it helps, the length of long and short hair among my female friends is about 50/50 and they all look good....hmmm... I think I just basically said the same thing twice...

^^^THIS. My girlfriend had long hair for the majority of our relationship, and she just recently cut it short.Daystar Clarion said:It really depends on the woman and the style, but yeah, I do tend to like short hair on a lady
[snipped a great picture of Olivia Wilde]
She used to look like this (Just the hair style, not the color):
Now, she looks like this:
I can't make enough love to her.
I've seen some awfully attractive women with short hair. Heck, I've seen a couple with hair buzzed down to stubble, and it worked well for them. That said, I think it depends as much on a lady's ability to make the hairstyle work for them. Confidence can make anything work.
Edit: Well, almost anything. Thought I should qualify the previous statement.
