Prefer long or short Hair!! email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 99/100. shia88 (825)   ranked 16 out of 387 in hair4 months ago

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?

hi shia, great to hear you have found a hairstyle which you like and which suits you.
My mother demanded I wear my hair short most of the time as a teen and young adult. I hated it and still hate it and so I started with a perm and let my hair grow. My hair is very fine and grows very very slowly soooooooo its been a long battle with that hair and its rewarding cause now its starting to get longer...... lol....... I just was at the hairdressers a few days ago and she also was impressed at how well it is growing now.
Unfortunately my hair is much too thin for these ribbons or clips, they will not keep where I put them and I will always lose them.


myLot reputation of 99/100. shia88 (825)   ranked 16 out of 387 in hair  4 months ago

Hi Book,

It seem you have a very soft hair since those ribbons won't stick to your hair all the time.
You can find some hair clips for your hair. Nowadays,there are plenty of design of hairclips in the market.

Sometimes, I will just a small hairclip to my hair with little make-up and I am ready to go shopping.

perming hair will make your hair looks more,but it need to have proper treatment done after we perm our hair,or else, it will looks very dry.
Once a month, I will have my own hair treatment to prevent my hair getting dry.
So do you colour your hair after perming it?


myLot reputation of 96/100. book1962 (14705)   ranked 284 out of 387 in hair  4 months ago

hi shia,I wont have my hair coloured after its permed cause that will harm the hair even more. But I dont have a perm in right now I am really happy to just let it grow and go to the hairdressers every 8 weeks or so to get the tips cut and the spliss cut out too.


myLot reputation of 99/100. shia88 (825)   ranked 16 out of 387 in hair  4 months ago

Hi Book,

Don't colour your hair at the sametime you perm it.Do it a week later and it won't do harm to your hair.This is an advice from my hairstylist when I decided to colour my hair last year.
It looks more modern and trendy after colouring my permed hair.Staying in black colour with permed hair is bit weird.


myLot reputation of 96/100. book1962 (14705)   ranked 284 out of 387 in hair  4 months ago

hi shia my hairstylist said same to me. How does your husband like your permed hair with color in? Hope he likes it too and wont bug you to not color it again.


myLot reputation of 99/100. shia88 (825)   ranked 16 out of 387 in hair  4 months ago

Hi Book,

Before I go for colouring my hair, I did ask my husband's idea. He is quite Ok with my decision. He said: if you feel you like it, then just go ahead.

When I came back home from salon that day, he saw me and said "not a bad colour",but actually I prefer it to be more reddish.
I choose bit darker colour,I also not sure which colour suit my hair and worry it will look so scary on me. To play safe, I chose the brownish colour.

long hair is good for me. but now i want to cut my hair,for sometimes changing style will make you well.so i want to have a try.have a good time.


myLot reputation of 99/100. shia88 (825)   ranked 16 out of 387 in hair  4 months ago

Hi Peace,

Changing your hairstyle is a good step to change your looks. You can always check up with your hair stylist the best hair style to suit your face. It is always good to get some advices from them as they are more professional in this field.

I always get an advice from my hairstylist before I decided what to do with my hair everytime I visit a salon.

I only been to salon once a year during November. I prefer to have a fresh look before my holiday trip to my hometown.

Our four yr. old daughter has never had her hair cut since she was born. I used to cut her bangs but then I let them grow so she could have hair all one length. My husband and I agreed that we would not cut her hair for as long as we could. She fears having scissors anywhere near her hair. I think long hair is pretty. I have been trying to let my hair grow. When I had kids I used to tie it up alot or cut it. Now that my youngest is older I let my hair down now. I only tie it up if I'm cooking. I remember my mom used to cut my hair too when I was little. She said it was easier to manage as well. I hated it. My sister has long pretty hair but as she is getting older she has cut it some but still it's beautiful.


myLot reputation of 99/100. shia88 (825)   ranked 16 out of 387 in hair  4 months ago

Hi Andalond,

Keeping long hair actually has more work to do.
You have to comb it every now and then to make it looks nice all the time.

Short hair is more easier to maintain especially when come to washing hair.
Long hair needs longer time to wash compared to short hair.

I like to see a small girl with long hair,looks pretty and sweet,especially if you were to tied her hair with some colourful ribbons/hair bands,it really looks nice.


myLot reputation of 99/100. andalond (3388)  4 months ago

My daughter is used to having her hair done everyday. I am surprised she doesn't complain at all when I do her hair. She gets compliments when her hair is down but most of the time I have it in braids, ponytail, or other ways. I'm not a good hair stylists when it comes to different looks but she always has her hair done.


myLot reputation of 99/100. shia88 (825)   ranked 16 out of 387 in hair  4 months ago

Hi Andalond,

Too bad I don't have a daughter and I won't have chance to tie up her hair.
My son is having a short hair and he trims his hair every three months.

It is always a headache when comes to bring him for his hair cut,he will cry before we enter the salon and refused to go in. No choice, I have to hug and carry him in to the salon.
He always sit at my lap during the haircut,my whole shirt is full of his hair,it seem like I am having my haircut too.

Do you have any tips to share on how to overcome kid who scare to go for haircut?


myLot reputation of 99/100. andalond (3388)  3 months ago

I have 4 boys and we never had a problem with them getting a haircut. We have the hair cutters at home so me or my husband just do it. I think they learned to get haircuts as early as I can remember that their hair was long enough. lol My mother in law tells me that they have to bribe her other grandson to get his hair cut. I just get the cutters everytime I see the hair look too long in the back of their neck. Maybe you should try to do that so they get used to having the trimmers on them all the time. Maybe he will feel more comfortable at home too getting some kind of cut. cool


myLot reputation of 99/100. shia88 (825)   ranked 16 out of 387 in hair  3 months ago

Hi Andalond,

I ever tried on your technic and it did not work well for my boy.
He just refused to get his hair cut.
He is actually feel scare when he saw his hair drop to the floor. He was curious on why so many hairs were dropping down.
Everytime when he saw his hair dropped,then he will cry.My poor boy!

I ever tried out another idea,to put pomelo skin on my son's head for 3 times during his shower. According to eldest folks, it can help to bring away his scareness of getting haircut, but it also does not work for my son.

I totally run out of idea on how to make him feel comfortable during his hair cut.At least no crying and he will sit quietly for the whole process.
Anyone has better idea,do share it with me.Thank you!!

I always had my short from birth till now. lol
I am a guy...very conservative type. However when I am
in University, I have a close friend ( a guy) kept his
hair long.

Personally I love to see girls with long hair. Looks
feminine and beautiful. My wife has it shoulder length.
The weather here is hot...She do not perm nor rebonding,
so save my moneyraspwhistle


myLot reputation of 99/100. shia88 (825)   ranked 16 out of 387 in hair  4 months ago

Hi James,

Frankly speaking, I do not like to see guy in long hair.it looks scary to me . Sorry, I am not offending any guys with long hair. It is just an impression that I got it when I saw long hair guy in front of me.

My husband is keeping his hair short too,he has his hair cut once a month.
As for me, I have my hair cut once a year,so save alot of money.

I understand some guys like to see girls in long hair. I did ask my husband before whether he prefer me in long or short hair. He seem did not have any preference.As long as my hair is nice and tidy, it is fine with him whether I am having a short or long hair does not matter so much.

I like my hair to be rebonded as it is very easy to manage, No need to comb my hair often.and it always looks straight and neat.

5. myLot reputation of 99/100. Buchi_bulla (2375)   ranked 360 out of 387 in hair   4 months ago

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.


myLot reputation of 99/100. shia88 (825)   ranked 16 out of 387 in hair  4 months ago

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.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Buchi_bulla (2375)   ranked 360 out of 387 in hair  4 months ago

Now it grows up to waist length but I cut it to 3/4th size of it. Thanks for the advice and I will take hair treatment as advised by you.


myLot reputation of 99/100. shia88 (825)   ranked 16 out of 387 in hair  3 months ago

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!!

Before I have a long hair.

But now, I have a short hair and it is rebonded. I like the way I look now. It makes me feel fresh and young.


myLot reputation of 99/100. shia88 (825)   ranked 16 out of 387 in hair  4 months ago

Hi Feodda,

Glad that you are satisfied with your new looks.

I won't never cut my hair short again,I prefer to have long hair as my face is round shape,having short hair will make my face looks bigger.

I am on perming now. I am thinking of rebonding my hair this coming November.


myLot reputation of 96/100. feodda (394)  4 months ago

As long as you look beautiful. Don't cut it. Stay Beautiful as you are.

7. myLot reputation of 87/100. Hedwig (254)   4 months ago

In my case, I prefer long hair. As a matter of fact, I have kept long hair as far as I can remember. My parents tried to persuade me to cut it short when I was in senior high school and didn't success. Maybe I have kept it for such a long time that it feels strange just to imagine myself with short hair.


myLot reputation of 99/100. shia88 (825)   ranked 16 out of 387 in hair  4 months ago

Hi Hedwig,

Let me tell you my story,when I first keep my hair long, I feel bit uncomfortable as I have to tied up my hair during my school time. It is more tidy to tied up my hair while I am studying.
I am not getting used to it and I am scared my friend will laugh at me as I never tied up my hair before.
But I am wrong, my friend never laugh at me.

So now, I am in long hair since I was in my high school and i love to have long hair.

I just cut my hair. It is very short. I don't know why I did it, maybe I want something new. Honestly, I prefer to have a long hair. You can do more with styles having a long hair. Anyways, I did not regret for cutting my hair short.


myLot reputation of 99/100. shia88 (825)   ranked 16 out of 387 in hair  4 months ago

Hi Radiance,

Glad to know that you like your short hair and of course, it suits you too.

At least,with short hair,it is easier to maintain and need lesser time to wash your hair now.

Do you colour your hair??

9. myLot reputation of 76/100. Weirdology (404)   ranked 214 out of 387 in hair   4 months ago

I prefer long hair because, for me, it's lower maintenance and I don't have to style it. Right now it's tailbone length. I'm going to maintain it there until my bangs grow out and catch up. When they do, I'll let it grow to classic (right below the butt), just to see what it's like. From there I'll decide if I want to move on to knee, stay at classic, or cut back to tailbone.


myLot reputation of 99/100. shia88 (825)   ranked 16 out of 387 in hair  4 months ago

Hi weirdology,

Oh..you plan to keep your hair till your knee level. That is very long and from my point of view, it is difficult to maintain especiall when you wash your hair, doesn't it feel very heavy and you sure need more time to wash your hair clean.

My hair length is above my waist and I have my hair permed last year November.
Since year end is coming forward, I am still thinking whether to rebond or perm my hair this year.Big headache for me to decide which one to go.

I really love long hair, my hair is black and straight and long of course haha when i was a child.. maybe 7 or 8 years mom used to cut my hair very very short and i hated that but now that i can decide i always have it long. I cut it maybe every 3 or for months, i think if i had my hair shorter it wouldn't be my.. long hair is part of my personallity, just me:)


myLot reputation of 99/100. shia88 (825)   ranked 16 out of 387 in hair  4 months ago

Hi Mariahp,

You have grown up and I believe your mother won't interrupted on your own personal issue,especially on your hair.
I believe you are quite satisfied with your hair now.How long is your hair now? Waist length?



mariahp (30)  3 months ago

Yes, waist lenght:) once happend something funny to me, cause I went to visit my aunt, i had a lot of time without visiting her and she realized i had my hair longer, she told me i have beautiful hair and suddenly she pulled it cause wanted to be sure it wasn't fake hahaha a lot of people think my hair is fake but it's not, i love my hair:) as soon as i can i'll upload a photo so u can see;)
P.S. sorry for my english, i am from mexico and sometimes i make some mistakes hahaha


myLot reputation of 99/100. shia88 (825)   ranked 16 out of 387 in hair  3 months ago

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.
