Which is more attractive to look in a girl? Having a short hair or a long hair? this question have crossed my mind because of the hot climate. I want to cut my hair short because I feel very uncomfortable with it. It is manageable in fact my friends adore my hair because it's shiny, straight and very long but i envy those girls who have a short hair because they don't have to spend too much effort with it. I've had a long hair since childhood and now I'm having second thoughts on cutting my hair short and i'm afraid if i did.. will it look good to me? For those guys who have long hairs i kinda find it attractive and with guys who have short hairs they look neat.;)but for girls i think having a short hair is more sexy. wouldn't you agree?:) and to all men mylotters: which do you think is more attractive for girls? short hair or long hair?

Hmm... You know what, trying anything wouldn't hurt, most especially if it's about hair. It'll grow back sooner or later. You should try it because you have the same type of hairstyle since birth. But generally speaking, it depends on the face. There are a lot of hairstyles tips regarding your face online. One site I browsed through today is http://www.hairstylesdesign.com/ It actually depends on how you feel and what hairstyle you'd like to try. When I was younger, I'd always have the short hair look. Even tried the boy-cut look, it was great because I didn't need to comb at all! hehehe But eventually, I've been growing my hair but I'm planning to cut it around next year, after all the weddings are done. It's just better to have long hair for parties and special occasions because you can do so much for longer hair. But as I said, I'd cut this after all the events are through.

I'm still thinking about it.. you have a good point it'll grow sooner or later but don't we have a saying that if you cut your hair short you will have a hard time of growing it back again.. sometimes it will become curly or wavy. that's what i'm afraid of.

No it won't. Unless it's in your genes to have curly or wavy hair. I think one of the causes for those is when you put something in your hair that causes it to be damaged. Haven't you tried going to the salon for hair spa or hot oil?

that's also the reason why i like to cut my hair short. Maintaining a long hair is very expensive. you have to go to a salon for trim and hot oils. what i'm more concerned of is if it will look good on me or not? hair is our crowning glory. i don't want to have regrets later on.

Women look sexier with long hair. If you wanted practical we would all shave out heads and wear nehru jackets. By the way you can sell your hair or donate it to charity. Your hair might be worth a few hundred dollars depending on its condition and it has to be unprocessed.

Your hair is beautiful. Do not cut it. Tie it up when you are hot. What about some layers in it. I think you would be mad to cut it and might regret it. Well it is your decision. I hope you make the right one. Good luck.

okay i kinda see what you mean..for me i think it really depends on teh girl if she is better with short orlong hair.. i too want to cut my hair short because of the very hot climate..but thinking it will just be a waste when i spent so much time on growing my hair and just citting it in the end..for me i really prefer having long hair because with it i can do different styles with it and just have fun with it rather than having short hair..and girls feel more sexy when they have long hair...

yeah.. we're on the right page..but sometimes i think short hair looks more sexy.. maybe because i haven't tried it. do you really think i should keep my long hair?

it is a fact that guys with short hair and gals with long hair look good but managing long hair is very difficult. What matters more is your convenience, and one must adapt to the circumstances he is in. And dont think too much, it must be your choice and not someone elses that what kind of hair you want. if you feel like then go for a hair cut and even if you are not very satisfied with it then you will know that it was your decision and moreover hair is something which will grow again in due course of time. or you can get some short hairstyles being tried to you picture on a computer.. this is something that most of the beauty salons do these days. if you like any then you may go for a hair cut..

first of all...it all depends on your face cut and also how you carry a hairstyle. having said that,i personally feel that girls with long hair usually look sexy. Though yes,sometimes few girls can wear a short haircut and still look very cute. but do ask others who personally know you to recommend which will look better on you,as they are the ones who will be seeing you!:P and yes,u can always grow them back long sooner or later!

I am a girl and well I think women look better with long hair. There is a few that look good with short hair, but I will tell outhis much. When I wanted to cut my hair short it was all the way down to my butt and I just had to have this one hair style. So I cut it all off, then I later regretted it and it has taken me 3 years to get it almost there. So it is your choice but i think you will regret it if you do, so think long and hard about it. If you do cut it off make sure to donate it to locks of love for the children with cancer. Thank you

I had long hair as a child, but when I started to hit adolescense, I became fond of the '60s era and adopted a shag cut. At one point my hair was as long as the middle of my back and at another it was as short as a boy's. Right now I'm growing it back out to its childhood length - down my back. I think if you do decide to try a short cut, then don't go TOO short - judging the length of your hair, I'd start at just below the shoulders. Then, if you want it shorter, you can go shorter, or grow it out again. Do it gradually - it'll grow out again, regardless, but leave room to change your mind. Also, if and when you go to the salon, ask them if they participate in Locks of Love - this organization takes the hair that you've cut off (it has to be a certain length for them to accept it), and makes wigs for people who have lost their hair due to chemotherapy for various illnesses. Some salons who participate in this organization will even give you a DISCOUNT on your cut, or even give it FREE OF CHARGE, if you specify that you wish to donate your hair.

i think it is more attractive for girls to have long, slightly wavy/curly hair..my girlfriend has long flowing blonde hair, and i think its the most beautiful thing ever, i could get lost in her hair. whatever works for you though. if you can maintain a long head of hair, its quite an asset, but if you can't, short hair is ok as well.

I think it depends on the person. Some people prefer a certain length of hair. I change throughout the seasons. In the summer I like long hair because I can pull it into a ponytail to keep it off of my neck and out of my way during work (I work outdoors so thats very important to me). But during the other months I like short to medium length so I can do cute styles. My mother only likes it long, my grandmother only likes it short. Try it out, and if you don't like it you won't have to deal with it for long.

it will really depend on the shape of person's face.I've read that certain hair styles and length depend on a person's face.personally I like wavy hair.I don't like my long,straight hair.I don't like how limp my hair is.while some would like to have their hair rebonded or straightened,I would prefer my hair to be digitally permed.sexy waves are lovely.

I prefer long haired girls, may it be straight or a bit curly. I don't know for sure the reason why but I think it adds to a lady's sexiness.

I know alot of guys around here like long hair better on a girl. My fiance wants me to grow it out, but its hard to manage. And with a kid pulling at it you get the point. It really depends on you. Rather you want to look good or feel good.

friend I think at very first its depend on you that what actually do you like , and if you have leave your choice to others then I think as per as girls is concern then I think girls should have long heir , its also depends on climate and physical structure of face and body actually there are lots of thing so I think person should decide their own , if they are going to leave on other then I think you will got confused becuase there are various type of person of various taste , some body will suggest you for long hair and some body will suggest you for small hair , so as far as my view is conecern you should go according to your face and your interest at very first.....

hmm.. u know what? i've been thinking about that a lot of times too.. but it wont hurt if you try.. actually, before i have a long hair too , then i experiment by cutting it short.. my friends says i still look good! (wwhoahh!!) i kind'of get used to it, i did it for i think 3 times.. imagine, i even have my hair cut as short as demi moore's hair in her movie ghost.. it doesn't matter i guess.. it will grow back anyway..
