Hi All mylotters and friends, I used to have a short hair when I was young.Till I reached my teenager, I told my mother that I wanted to keep my hair long. Everytime when I saw my sister's long hair,can tied with different ribbons and hair clips, I am so jealous. My mother prefer me to have a short hair as I sweat alot and easier to manage too. So when I reach my teenage , I am quite old enough to takecare of my own hair and my mother agreed with me. I kept my hair long till now. I am so happy when I get my first hair clips from my mother, I put it on everyday when I am going out. I used to rebond my hair for the past few years,only last year I decided to change my look and go for perming. I love both perming and rebonding as it suits my face. I told myself that I won't never cut my hair short again,I love having a long hair. How about you?? Prefer long or short hair?

Hello Celine, When I was in primary school, I could not keep my hair long , it was the school rules that girls who attend ballet lesson can only keep long hair. So I only start to keep long hair when I was in secondary school. For me daughter I am trying to keep her hair longer. So far, she never keep her hair longer than shoulder length. Now that her hair is going to grow at the shoulder length. I wish to let her keep longer hair. But my mother in law and my mom keep asking me to cut her hair. As for the old folks they said it is easy for little girl to keep short hair, look more neat and not that hot . I want to seek suggestion from you, celine. How you can keep your little girl's hair till so long? My daughter is the person who easy sweating. I can see she sweat more now with her hair is longer. She always wet her hair with sweat when nap and bed time. We do on the aircond in the bedroom but she still sweating alot. I might want to let her cut her hair shorter. But I love to see her hair grow longer and I can tie her hair with pony tail ,

Hi Moon morning, Actually my mother and my mother in law also same your mother and your mother in law thing like that. Old people must say if short hair for child is more no hot. But i thing is wrong because if her hair become long than we can rebond her hair everyday and also will no hot. For me is short hair more hot than long hair, because short hair can not rebond and long hair can rebond. My daughter also like your daughter easy sweating. But my mother got tell me every one children got drink milk than must keep sweating a lot. When my daughter hair is short then she always sweating a lot my mother and my mother in law when saw it must say me why dun want cut her hair until short.I say i want give her long hair than old people is like that must take many lo. Until my girl hair is keep more long can rebond. Me every day rebond my daughter hair. Until my father also will rebond my daughter hair. So my mother no say want cut her hair ready and also say never cut her hair because if cut her hair than her will sweating a lot my father will angry. Because my daughter is my father take care. :P

Hi Melanie, it is good that you takecare of your own hair. Do a hair treatment on your hair at least once a month.It does help your hair grow healthier. I also like to rebond my hair,it looks smooth and easier to manage it. But now I have permed my hair,more time for me to tidy up my hair.

Hi Melanie, I won't waste my money on salon every month,it is not worthy. I prefer to do my own hair treatment at home. At least I can do it anytime I want and it is much more cheaper too. I just need to get all the necessary stuffs ready and do it when I have a free time. I thought of colouring my own hair(DIY colouring). I am not sure whether it is easy or not.

I love to have long hair. I had long hair and every one used to say it looks good when I am walking. In the four daughter's-in-law in my husband's family, my hair was very long and the others always use to remark about this fact. But after deliveries and due to work pressure not taking care of the hair, now it became small and thin. Now I can only put clip and cannot mat my hair. I think after some time I will have to go in for short cut.

Hi Buchi, I am just wondering how long is your hair now??? waist lenght?? I never keep my hair till very long,now my hair is getting longer as I have not been cutting it for almost 10 months. Since I am perming my hair, I like to keep it long ,it looks better rather than having short and perm hair(looks like a ball to me). You can consider have some hair treatment to make your hair grow healthier and it will look more neat and nice.

Hi Buchi, Glad that you will have a hair treatment, it is good for your own hair. Remember not to do it so often.As for me, I did it twice a month. It has a good impact on my hair,My hair looks softer and smoother nowadays. Takecare !!

Hi Shia, You must be having very nice wavy long hair! I like long hair too. But certain time I do need to cut my hair short. That was when I was pregnant. The few months before my due date, I cut my hair shorter. It is because it is better to keep short hair during confinement month. In our tradition here, we can not wash our hair for one month which is in the confinement month. So I could not stand the long and sticky hair for 1 month. I wish to keep long hair again but once my hair get a little longer I just annoy to see many fallen hairs on the floor. I don't know why. my hair gets longer and the more fallen hairs I get. I like long hair but I think I look better and younger in short hair. For this whole year, I have been keeping my hair short and in bob style. Now my hair get a little longer and I hope I can stand to keep longer...

Hi Shia, You have been so quietly lately! Hope to see your new discussion real soon. 1 month has passed and my hair is getting longer now. . By the time Chinese New Year, I will be able to tie my hair. For me I did use the dry shampoo during my confinement month. But I don't use it every day. I just don't get use of this dry shampoo. The hair wasn't get clean enough with this dry shampoo.

Hi Vingyan, I encounter the same problem like you, my hair keeps dropping after I delivered my son,I am not sure whether it is due to hormon changes or some other issues. I understand that during confinement period,no wash hair is allowed,so I got a dry shampoo to keep my hair smells nice and clean for that whole month, or else, I won't be able to sleep with sticky hair.I also tied up my hair during my confinement period,at least,it looks neater. So do you plan to keep your hair long now?? Maybe you can consider change your hair style,keep it bit longer and perm it. A new look for Chinese New Year,not a bad idea to try out.

Hi Mariahp, Don't worry, your English is good and understandable. I also make mistakes in my English.By doing MyLot, it helps us to improve our English. Oh,so funny. Your aunt really go pull your hair down to double confirm it is real or fake. Don't you feel your head heavy with such a long hair? Will you encounter hairdrop? Now my hair is above my waist, I encounter hairdrops as my hair is getting longer. Maybe I should apply some tonic to get new hair grow up again.

Well, I guess my avatar speaks for itself! I love short hair and I don't think that I would have it any other way now. The only problem is it grows far too quickly so I find myself spending more on haircuts on a regular basis. I think that long hair looks very nice on ladies but for men I think that short is always better. Short hair is very easy to manage as well. With my hair for example, there's no combing only washing and drying and that's it! Andrew

Hi Andrew, I agreed with you. I also prefer guy to be in short hair. Looks tidy,smart and clean. Somemore,it is easy to maintain,need less time to wash hair,less shampoo is needed and no need to blow dry as it will dry very fast. Like my husband, he visit a salon every month,he has a short hair too.

hello shia88, I see your post again, I think you are very good at posting intersting discussion. I am long hair, with curve. I have my hair curve the last year because it was very popular, but I don't like my hair style right now, because it looks like i have a lot of hair. I would like to have my hair cut and make it straight, like I did when I was at middle school... I think that would make me look younger... so right now I prefer short hair, but my option may change as time goes by ...

HI Iamfine, If you want to keep your hair straigt,you can go for rebonding anytime you want. Your hair will look straight after a few hours sitting in a salon. I also like straight hair,but sometimes it gets bored when always in same hair style,that is why I decided to perm my hair last year. I did coloured for my hair too.It looks more trendy to have permed coloured hair.

I love long curly hair but have never really been able to achieve it. My hair is straight and baby fine. Having it long does nothing for me. So its usually very short or no longer then my neck. I also think alot of people who have long straight hair wish for curly and the people with curly with for long straight hair.

Hi Lelin, Since you like to have a straight hair, you can always try for rebonding. It does keep your hair to be straight and easier to manage your hair actually. I did have rebonding for the past few years,until last year I decided to change my hair style,I went for perming. Lucki it suit my face.I did coloured my hair one week later after I permed it. It makes me look more trendy.

I am a guy and I personally feels that girls with long hair will have a so-called 'unfair advantage' to those with short hair. I've noticed that many guys actually prefer women with long hair because they find them more feminine and elegant. For me, I've always been attracted to women with long hair, be it straight or curly or whatever style they do with their long hair because I personally find long hair to be more feminine and also there are more styles that you can create with long hair as compared to short hair.

Hi Dknkyle, Another guy who likes girl in long hair. Most of the guy has this kind of feeling.Long hair girls look more feminine and sexy in a certain way. The reason I keep my hair long is that I can put on any type of hair clips on it and I can either keep it straight or perm my hair. But long hair actually needs more work to do,I always need more time to wash my hair.\

I am used to having short hair. In fact I have never worn my hair long. Having short hair is more manageable. If you are always in a hurry, having short hair is easier. One thing that I like is that I am able to save money from too much shampooing and from too much expenses going to the parlor.

Hi Jules, I agreed with you,having short hair is good in term of need less shampoo to wash it and also more manageable. But then I myself is in long hair.I have been in short hair during my childhood. Started to get bored with it,so I kept my hair long till now. I even permed my hair now.

shia, I do prefer long hair too.. after keeping my hair for at least more than 10 years, I had a cut when I was 5 months pregnant!! I cut my whole ponytail of at least 8 inch! As I am concern on all the 'no no' during confinement especially on washing hair, I decided to cut it real short so it's easier.. Now I am trying to get my hair back to the length, and I know it's gonna take a long long long long time again..

Hi Cwong, Talking about confinement, I have to keep my hair unwashed for a month, I can't imagine for not washing my hair for a month.But no choice,I have to make it too.I bought a dry shampoo to clean my hair during my confinement,At least my hair is not smelly.but then I can feel itchy sometimes because I do sweat alot. However, I never think of cutting my hair short just because I am pregnant and during confinement I was not able to wash it. So I tie up my hair for that whole month just to keep myself tidy. Since I was in my high school, I started to keep my hair long till now. I still prefer to have long hair.I can put on any hairclips with different designs. I love to shop for some unique hair clips.

I guess I would prefer to have short hair. But I am a guy. lol. I sometimes do wonder what it would be like to have long hair. I think I would just sweat a lot more and it would be harder to wash my hair. I guess I would look more like a hippie than Fabio. lol.

Hi Nijolechu, For a guy, I still prefer them to have a short hair. It looks more tidy and smart. I did not mean that guy with long hair does not look smart. But as for my husband,he keeps his hair short and he has his haircut once a month.

Hi BuPing, I guess your hair must be very long now. I also like long hair,looks more feminine actually. Somemore I am not a sporty girl,so long hair is more suitable for me. I have my haircut once a year,normally during year end before my holiday trip in December.

Haha, shia, I think most girls like with long hair. I kept long hair as I was a kid. But when I was in middle school for six years, I had it cut. Because I have too much hair, and it was a trouble for me to manage it. My father always complain about it then. After I started my collegue life, I decided to keep my hair long, as I think both short hair and long hair are fit for me. As my hair is so straight, I made them permed later. Sometimes I cannot wait to have my long hair shortened again, especially in summer, it makes me so hot. But I never make it true. In fact, I really like myself with long hair.

Hi OrangeJuice, Since you like yourself with long hair,just keep it long. During hot season,you can simply tie up your hair. They are many designs of hairclips in the market. Nowadays,there is some hairclips with Swaroski jewellery.It is very nice,but bit pricey. I also permed my hair now....year end is coming forward,I am still considering whether to perm my hair or rebond it for this year.

I now prefer short hair. When I was younger, my hair was long, as in waist length. After I gave birth, I had to cut hair hair very short as my hair started to fall. I could no longer have my hair long, even shoulder length hair, for I have excessive hair fall. The doctor told me that it's due to hormonal imbalance.

Hi Dorisday, I also encountered the same problem like yours,my hair keep dropping after I gave birth to my son. Last time I do have some hair drops,but not that much. After the delivery, it seems it getting worse. I am thinking of using hair tonic on my hair,it can helps to get new hair grow up again. So do you apply anything hair tonic now?

I prefer long hair, being that my hair is long. When I was younger my step mother would always cut my hair so short making me look like a boy, so I have always kept my hair long every since. If I do ever cut my hair it is not cut above my shoulders. Long hair is harder to keep, but I think that you can do so much with longer hair that you cannot with short hair

Hi Xsarleenax, Whenever I visit a salon, I will always tell my hairstylist not to cut my hair too short,I don't like it.At least cut away 3-4 centimetre will do,not more than that. I also prefer long hair,I can tie it up or even just let it down and put some nice hair clips on it. So nice !!

I was the same way. My mom always kept my hair short when I was little. Now I have it long. I kept it medium because my ex-husband liked shorter hair, I personally like my hair longer so now I do what I want. When it's hot though, sometimes I think of shaving it because I have SOOOOO much it gets really hot.

Amybrezik, You can always tie up your hair,so you won't feel so hot and more comfortable. I always tie up my hair during hot season and while I am cooking and doing housechores. Do want to cut your hair short?? Better consider carefully !! For me, I won't cut my hair short again.I love my long hair now.

I definitely prefer my hair long. I cut my hair boy short when I was in 10th grade and it was horrible!!! Plus my boyfriend hates short hair on women so I decided to try and grow my hair longer then my shoulders. And I love it!! Ive never been very hairstyle savvy but now I am! I feel so confident with the way Ive been wearing my hair. Just like you I never ever want to cut my hair short again.

Hey there! I am glad that you finally find the hairstyle that suits you the best. Honestly I never have long hair long. The longest I have is this time which length passes my shoulders. I couldn't manage to have long hair because my hair is thin and very find. I don't have problems with dandruffs or breakage as I give a regular treatment for my hair. Still, because hair texture is genetic, there's nothing much I can do. I am trying to let my hair grow long to see how it is going to be. Long hair or short hair? I think it looks different on everyone. Some people look great in long hair vice versa. The key is to find what suits you the best.

Hi Alwayzzcitra, I agreed with you,find the best model of hair that suits to your face.Get some advices from your hairstylist. As least you can compared other people's ideas before you decide on which model to go for it. Since you have a thin hair,ever consider to perm your hair to make it looks more?
