Depends on the woman.
I must say that sort hair that sticks out in random directions is very adorable.
I have, all my life, had rather long hair and bangs.
It's simply the easiest for me to cut myself, I cut off my ponytail every spring, and my bangs when they start to interfere with my eyesight.
I have thought of a shorter style every once in a while, but I doubt I could keep it even remotely good-looking by myself, and if I decide to grow it back, there will be time when it's too short to put on a ponytail, but too long to stay out of stuff.
