What do you think of women with short hair?

There's a few ways to handle this. I handled that transition period with me with a had. Fedora, actually, although I had a decent amount of stubble at the time, so I looked like an unkempt, lazy hippie. Not sure if that'd work for you.

There's the "grin and bear it" approach... which gets irritating. I couldn't do it.

The bright side is that, as it gets longer, the weight of the hair should hold the curls to the point where they won't cause too many problems. And your hair will be nice and wavy. Which looks great.

Alas, I do not have a hat to wear. I suppose I could buy one, but... I wouldn't want to wear it. I could pull off the hippie look if I took even less care of my hair than I do, but.... considering that I am going for a neater final result (with some very long hair, I might add), I would rather get used to taking care of my hair well now rather than later. Besides... I hate the hippie look.

So did I. Rather happy that I don't have to pull that off anymore... although my hair is mostly just tied back now.

Truth is i've kept my hair short for a very long time... to the point that I don't even know how to deal with longer hair anymore. x_x

I'll probably want to straighten it out eventually. It depends on how it would look later. I *do not* want curly hair at all.

The truly amusing thing about this exchange is that it's a complete gender role reversal; I'm completely unaccustomed to talking about this with people, especially women. It's a strange thing. If I were to cut my hair, I don't think I'd find it comfortable for any real length of time. In fact, the pic on my profile is about... two and a half years old years old and it's the most recent one that I've had with hair that short.

Also, wavy hair is attractive. You'll probably never get it Asian straight, but you might be able to train it to straighten itself out naturally. I found that, the more that I tied my hair back, the more likely it was to just stay... wavy for longer periods of time rather than curl back on itself. It's to the point now where it doesn't even do that anymore.

Make sure that, when you tie it back, it's wet when you do so. Otherwise, you'll have to deal with it curling back onto the tie, which can be just as irritating.

I guess I just need to ask some people a few questions. People who are more used to long hair and can know more about what I can really do about it. I think I know who to ask. :3

And... hah. While I am happy to amuse you, you probably know by now that sometimes things get screwy. I... didn't worry about hair for so many years. Years that... frankly I'd rather not think about anymore. I do think though... if I do it right, my wavy hair could actually probably look really good. It's just a matter of getting to it. And that's what I need to do. Riiiiight now.

Oh, I know... probably better than people would think.

And, while I'm probably the single worst person to say this through open channels, don't let the past dictate what you like or dislike about your look. You need to look however you feel comfortable and go from there. Hell, I'm comfortable in a suit and tie with my hair tied back, but I wouldn't feel comfortable in that same suit with my hair cut off.

I don't know what you look like and, quite frankly, won't ask such a rude question, but you should know by now what looks good or doesn't look good on you. If you want to experiment, experiment. Hair will grow back, but you need to be patient with it.

In all honesty, I'm afraid hair shorter than a "bob" looks too boyish and I personally don't find it attractive. By contrast flowing long hair is one of the most attractive features a woman can have. Of course I understand it's a pain in the ass to maintain and wouldn't expect every girl to want to deal with it.

Me getting a new hair look is actually, in a way, part of me trying to run away from a past I don't like and to embrace a new future. There's just.... going to be alot of obstacles in the way before I get to where I want to end up. :/

Ok thats longer than I expected, I thought you meant like

Which depends on the woman, but I like shorter hair.

If it makes a woman stand out from the usual shoulder length hair in blonde or brunette, I am interested a little.

Next time your out and about count how many girls don't have shoulder length blonde or brunette hair. Cheryl Cole has made red (not ginger) heads more popular aswell.

Knew a girl with similar hair. Sort of a mohawk but combed over the half of her head which was totally shaved. Sounds very mannish, right? Well, maybe it was because she had the curvy measurements of a 90's model and the face of a cherub, but she was dead sexy.

I think that's the point, really. It's a post-feminist thing, a subversive way to be sexy. To some women it may be just a new sexy-flirty thing, but the way others carry it it's both a mental and physical thing - it looks good and projects their rebellious attitude. Me likey.

But not that pic, no, no.

I think that she is a pretty lady and her hair suites her but that dress isn't the bestest. It is also from a show set in the 80's, so all the girls hair styles are rather ... unique by ttodays standards.

(the show is this is England '86)
