My hair right just passed my shoulder's length. I love it long because I feel like I'm a real girl with it. I enjoy putting headbands, clips. I also enjoy pony-tails/pig-tails and semi-s, etc. However, it's summer. It's really hot and I envy gals with short haircuts. What do you think should I do? Are you a long/short hair? What's your preference?

I have very long thick but straight hair. I have worn it this way for several years and am so use to it. Yes sometimes it gets so hot and annoying but I can't imagine me with short hair. If you like shorter hair then I would say go for it and have fun with it too, as new hair styles at times makes for a happy person.

The way I see it is like youless mentioned below is that I like to use a ponytail when it is hot and even with short hair it can be hot and then being that it is short a ponytail cannot be done. Either way have fun with it and enjoy.

Lately, I'm wearing ponytails. I also put a headband on so I'll look extra neat, and stay pretty.

You may have a point there, HWG. Maybe I like having a different hairstyle just for the sake of having a new look. It may not necessarily be due to the obvious heat here in my place. So at the end of the day, whatever makes me happy should be the way to go, right? But which one is it?!hahaha!

I think that long hair can be put in lots of different ways that look lovely. I can just grow longer and the lady doesn't need to go to see a hair dresser. If a lady has short hair she needs to go to a hair dresser every eight weeks so there is quite an expense to keep up with. I have fairly long hair that goes past my shoulders. In the hot weather I put my hair up. I prefer to have long hair and wouldn't ever want to have short hair. When I was 14 years old I went from long hair to short hair. I had my hair short then but it didn't seem to suit me.

Alright, I think long hair is winning the race. And I am beginning to be convinced too.

It is fine for you to try any hair style. It is summer and therefore short hair shall be comfortable. But if you have a pigtail, I think it is alright. It is easy to deal with it. It is up to you to keep your long hair or not. I love China

I like changing my hairstyles now and then as i easily get pretty bored with the same look for long months. Since it's summer it's best to have short haircuts if you feel too hot with your long hair. But if you are a bit apprehensive, you can just tie your hair, make a bun or even braid it. But those can be pretty hectic coz they are so time consuming especially when you're in a hurry. If you have not experienced having a very short hair before, like a boy cut, try a bob hair cut instead. They're not too short and you can still use hair clips if you want to. Consider the shape of your face as well in considering what haircut you're going to get.

I could have sworn I've responded to this reply already. I wonder which post did that end up on. Anyway, I'm still weighing your responses toni! Thanks very much for your comment! I really appreciate it.

I've got a long black hair and I love it. I understand it's summer and it's really hot specially here in Philippines but I still prefer to have it long 'cause I don't look hot with a short hair. Gotta whip my hair on the beach you know! haha! It all depends on you. If you don't feel comfortable due to weather in your place then have a hair cut that fits on you. :)

I like my hair long; I also like it short. Right now, I'm pulling my hair up. It's been really hot around here in Bangkok! Man!

I kept my hair short for about two, maybe three years, but I really prefer long. If your hair is long you can put it all up. If it is short, you can never get all of it put up out of your way. I am leaving my hair long, although I will trim it. I dyed it this winter and it has become brittle and tangly.

I trim my hair every 2 months GG. I read somewhere that it grows faster when we trim our hair regularly. I don't really know if that's true, but I do it anyway. As of now, I'm thinking of keeping my hair and probably have a different kind of haircut, as per SF's advise.

Hi chiyosan! See, that's another thing on cutting my hair. I don't speak the local language here so I wouldn't know how to explain my hair cut. I agree, short hair does look sexy. And it's very easy to maintain too. Just wash it and wear it. Perhaps, I should just have a layered cut...hmmm

I have long hair. I've always preferred having long hair or at least at shoulder length. It has always been my asset since my hair is straight, shiny and soft. Hair is a girl's crowning glory so I really pay attention to my hair keeping it as shiny as possible. I regularly visit the salon for hot oil treatment...

Wow! How often do you get your treatment? I used to do that too when I was single. But now that I'm married, I'm thinking..what for? Kidding aside though, I'd love to keep my hair really. It's just too hot here.

My hair is shorter than I like it, but I am planning on letting grow longer. In the summer and when I am cleaning house I always put my hair up in a ponytail. I have never been a fan of short hair. If you cut your hair it will take a while to grow back. My preference is long hair.

Alright, that's 2 for long and 1 for short. I'm usually tying my hair up because I've a lot of falling hairs. I don't want to have them all over the place. I see them everywhere when I'm sweeping our floors. So that's another reason why I'd like to cut my hair short.

I have a straight and long hair but I always wanted my hair curly... I wish I could have time to do that. It's been a long time I got my hair curled. Having a curly hair can make you always on the go. No need to comb it well.

I've been thinking of buying a curling iron, actually. When I wash my hair, I can easily get back my long straight hair. What do you think? Is it better than cutting my hair? Hmm...decisions, decisions...

I used to have really long hair, passed my bra line. But then one night, after I attended a party, I got frustrated on something or someone or maybe I just really got drunk. Next day, I had a pixie cut. Everyone was so shocked but they liked it. Until now, I am still sporting this look. It's been three years.

Nice story! That reminds me not to drink too much, sunny!haha But good for you! You found the hair that really works for your looks. I had worn a short hair before. And I think it looks good on me too. I wonder if I should go back....
