It is said that the hair is our crowning glory. For a woman, it is said that long hair is what makes them look beautiful. But for me, long or short, the overall look of the woman depends on the way her hairstyle compliments the shape of her face and knows how to carry it well. The color of her hair should also complement her face, because the color could also make or break your look. Too harsh color could make your hair look dry. Care to share your views?

hi there! i agree with you. it is indeed the crowning glory for every man and woman. from my guy friends most of them say that they are attracted to women who has long beautiful hair. it is hilarious how they are attracted to gays because of their beautiful hair! they mistook gays as girls because of their well pampered hairs! as for me.. i always have this layered hair because experts says it is perfect for women who has oblong shaped face. but i had tried shaggy, korean cut, and u shaped cut and a lot more! a year ago my hair was short but now i am trying to maintain it long for a new look. i am afraid of hair colors so i have never tried wearing one. but really i wanna try the color that some Asian actors and actresses are wearing but i'm just too afraid to experiment.

Yes, Mostly gays nowadays have long straight hair. And like you said, because of that , they are always mistaken as girls. But then, when you take a look at their V shape body, you will know that they aren't girls. Nice that you get to try different hairstyles. But like you i am also afraid in experiencing other colors of the hair. It's always my same black hair. Though, i don't want it long, really!

I agree, it's sad though that some genuine girls would also look like they are gay.

I think you are right about the shape and color fitting the face and color should be smooth. Women are beautiful and amazing and beauty truly is deep down...

I feel sad, when i see women whose hair color is so strong and doesn't become them. But i think that was their own preference.

Very true, everyone has the ability to express themselves in any way they want :)

Well, everybody has the right to express themselves through their hairstyles and colors. They just must not overdo them, lest they appear funny and weirdo already.

I agree. I never cared about having long or short hair. I've gone from like Demi Moore in her movie Ghost short hair and now i'm sporting a long hair. My high school teacher once complimented me for having very short hair as it suited the shape of my face. Now i also get complimented by my long hair and they said i look younger. So it's really not how long or short but it's how your hair would suit and enhance your features.

Yes, Toni, short or long hair , as long as it compliments your face and makes you look prettier, then go for it. Sometimes, sporting a short hair really takes a lot of guts for a woman. But then, what the heck, if it doesn't suit her then she can have it grow back again. Meantime , she has to do something to make that short hair compliment her face. Maybe she can have a nice hairclip or a headband to make it more feminine looking or enhance it. I think the shape of your face is suited for both long and short hair. Lucky you, Toni!

I agree with you on that all that you alleged in your discussion. I have a friend who told me that I should wear my hair long because it is in the Bible that a woman should have long hair. I still have to ask him what verse. I could remember it.

I cannot remember a verse saying that women have to have a long hair. But given that, i guess it also depends on the weather. If your place if too hot, a long hair will be a nuisance. You would either have it cut or pony tailed.

I have read that verse and i think, it's not stated there that we should have a long hair. It was just cited there that if a woman can have no covering on her hair when she worships, then her long hair can make up for it, instead.

I got the verse, it's 1 Corinthian 11:13-15.

the color of hair should be suitable with the face shape. skin color is a factor too. dark skin color is not suitable with light hair color. that's my opinion

That's correct. It is my opinion too , that a light hair color is not suitable for a dark skinned person.

I have a guy friend on FB who posted something like this on his status: "Girls are always more beautiful with long hair. Only girls would say otherwise." I don't know if this is true, but I think majority of males think that way. My dad is an exception. He would always force me and my sister to cut our hair short, which would always lead to disaster. Even so, my dad would complement our new short hair. I had always worn my hair short. That was a traumatic childhood and adolescence LOL. Now that I'm an adult, I refuse to cut it short. I can't confirm this, but I think older guys prefer women with shorter hair.

Long hair defines a woman. It makes them distinct from men, because generally men have short hairs. Thus, some men they find women beautiful when they have long hair. But this really depends if the long hair compliments the face of the girl. as to older guys preferring women with shorter hair, that i don't know my friend.

I agree with you, it depends on if a person's hair suits her long or short. There are woman who long hair gives them a heavy older look, whereas short hair makes them look younger, that is often the reason older women tend to cut their hair shorter. The fact that they also tend to go for lighter hair colour makes their face seem to radiate more light giving a warmer and happier look. Younger women can basically have their hair in any colour or shape as long as it suits them. I have had it very short and long and both are fun, long hair gives more work but it is fun being able to create new styles.

I also experienced having a short hair once time, when i was still single and it suited my small face. However, i grew tired of it because since my hair is wavy, it tends to spread when the i am riding a jeepney or public transport with open windows. Since then, i sported it as always shoulder length where i can have it on pony tail to avoid the wind from spreading it further. Yes, shorter hair does make one look younger.

Long hair can be very attractive - but only when it is well groomed and depends on how you carry it. I have a friend who spent all her life with having short hair because that's where she;s very comfortable at and she can carry it well. I think it's all up to anyone on how they want to wear their hair. Wherever they are comfortable at. :D

Indeed a long hair , specially if it's so straight could really be beautiful to look at. However, it should always be well groomed and suited for the bearer's face. You are correct, the hair depends on the comfort of wearing a long hair. I think, a long hair feels heavy to wear.

I've had long and short hair. Currently, my hair is about shoulder length but I intend to get it cut a little shorter. I like convience of shorter hair. I have also dyed my hair different shades of blonde. Though I have had compliments on my hair style, I believe that hair is superficial. A woman can wear almost any hair style and wear it well depending on attitude. If you have confidence in yourself and a positive, smiling attitude, a woman can wear anything.

Well, in a way you are correct. I think it's the way we project ourselves that pervades whether we have short or long hair. A smiling attitude is also an enhancer. But then , in general, the type of hair we have, mostly depends on the shape of the faces we have.

You are right. Long hair or short hair and about the hair color, for a woman, it should be adjusted with her face. But for me, I love long hair. I am more confident with long hair, although it needs extra care.

Oh yes, a long hair is difficult to maintain. Shampooing it also takes time. Nonetheless, we have to take good care of it, because it's what makes us look good, as your case is.

I guess people assume that it is the long hair that truly defines a woman. My female friends have long hair and they are pretty much against the idea of cutting your hair shorter. I have short hair, I usually cut it just above my shoulder and I have never grown my hair pass my shoulders. One of my friends cut her hair really short, close to a pixie cut and all my friends were complaining why she cut her hair. People think that it is the long hair that reflects one's femininity but really hair doesn't define who you are. Different hair styles tell a lot about a person such as their personality. I look awful with long hair but my face matches short hair so I keep it like that.

Didn't you notice that a woman with a long hair looks matured for her age? Even a very young girl with a long hair would look matured with it. I have never tried having a long hair. Just like you it's always shoulder length. It feels lighter to carry that way. Besides, it's what is suited for my face.

Hello SimplyD, I agree with you, it is not the length of the hair but the way we cared of our hair. Most of girls in my circle told me that straight long hair is beautiful hair and they always mocking me because I have black wavy hair but i always feel wavy is suitable with my face. I have got several compliments from stranger about my wavy hair, it is nice to hear compliment from stranger it make me more confident to keep my hair this way. I mean, they said straight hair are beautiful because it is the trends but I always feel it is not for me. sometime when I go to party, i will curl my hair to make it more curly, in the end it is the way you carry and combine your hairstyle with your personality that can make your hair looks gorgeous, not because the trend says so.

I think your long, wavy hair really suits your face well. If that's what you feel , then, don't be misled by your friends that a long straight one will suit you. However, it will be nice if at least you will also try if a straight one will also be nice for a change.
