Hi mylotters, I prefer long hair, I have beautiful brown hair that stops just about six inches below my waist. I prefe it long because it is so versatile to work with, I can wear up or down. I can do so many hair-styles from cute and perky, to long and sexy. On busy days I can just pull it up and out of the way, I can make it curly or straight and glam it up with all kinds of barrettes, sticks, scrunchies you name it. So what about you do you like having long or short hair. be happy, be joyful, be safe and be strong! oohcute2340

As a man,I always wear short hair because I find it convenient. I needn't comb and each time I wash my face I wash my head too. When it comes to women, I like to see women with long hair. A woman look nicer with long hair.

Well, when it comes to caring for it, I like to have shorter hair, only because long hair is hard to manage, for me anyway, harder to brush, shampoo and rinse out. But I like long hair cause most men prefer longer hair and I think it looks better on women. Even though short hair is easier to maintain, long hair seems prettier, so I pick having long hair, plus you can play with it more.

I actually enjoy caring for my hair and brushing 100 strokes a night, because if I am going to have it, its got to be awesome, full and shiny! Best wishes, oohcute2340

Sorry, it has taken so long to respond. My hair used to fall out a lot, it was my thyroid, after I starting taking thyroid medication it stopped. But keep in mind that it is normal to lose up to a hundred to two hairs a day. Best wishes oohcute2340

it depends, if it is summer time, then short hair. but long hair is better because you can style your hair in hundred ways.

I can testify to how hot long hair can be in the summer, but I just pull it into a pony tail, french twist, or bun and whalah! I am cool again. thank you for your response, best wishes oohcute2340

I think I look better with short hair these days. When I was younger (high school and collage age) I wore my hair long and liked it for the versatility. I could wear a different style every day. I am growing my hair out now, but will not keep it long, this is just temporiary.

My hair is currently mid length, but I cannot wait until it grows to a really long length! I love having long hair, it is easier to manage to be honest! And my boyfriend likes my hair curly, but at the moment when its curly it goes as short as to my shoulders, so I cant wait to curl it more when its longer :) x

I like curly sometimes too, but unfortunately without a good perm, curls don't stay in and it goes flat really quick. Best wishes, oohcute2340

I can relate, when I did cut my hair short, and start to grow it out it seemed to take forever to grow. Best wishes. oohcute2340

It definitely has to be short hair for me! I love keeping fit and when I am cycling all that long hair would get in the way and it certainly would collect a lot of sweat too! No, I love short hair as it is far easier to handle! You don't have to stick gel on it, you certainly don't have to brush or comb it! I generally go for the skin head look myself. I think that this is quite a popular haircut these days. If we are talking about ladies now well that's another story! I love long hair on women! I find it attractive. I like it when girls wear their hair at shoulder length, very appealing. Happy My Lotting. Andrew

Thanks for the interesting hair tidbits, I never really gave it much thought, but now that you have me thinking about, it makes sense. Best Wishes, oohcute2340

Hi there, well I have always preferred long hair (as long as it is healthy). I agree with you - it means that you have numerous options in terms of which style to use which makes things a bit more interesting. I also think it looks more feminine when it is long. There are some people though who really do look good with a short hairstyle, but I don't think it is for everyone and I definitely prefer long hair when it comes to myself

I like long hair,my hair was way past my waist for a lot of years. About two years ago I cut it about shoulder length. As I got older my hair started getting thinner and people said it made me look older. I don't think I'm going to grow it out long again, now that I'm used to having it short I kind of like it this way.

It funny how we try something new and think its just for a while and then we start to really enjoy it and decide to keep the new look. Best wishes, oohcute

Well it depends. I used to have long hair, but my hair's the frizzy, puffy, and naturally curly kind, so you can imagine what my hair is like if I don't do anything to it in the mornings. Takes a lot of work and effort on my part, so I don't really enjoy it that much. I cut my hair fairly recently to above my shoulders, and I find it extremely convenient now, so I guess I like short hair better. But that's a personal preference based on my hair style.

Oh that's a tough one, we have a young girl at church that has beautiful hair, buts it naturally curly and drives her mom and sisters nuts trying to get it under control. Best wishes, oohcute2340

My hair gets so heavy and so hot in the warmer months that I can't help cutting it every year. The rest of the year I love keeping it long because I can do so much more with it when it isn't short. I like having options and, with short hair, there aren't as many for me.

For females, yes I prefer longer hair for them. The longer it is, the more beautiful her hair is. I find it so attractive mostly if I'm looking at them from behind. I like girls who have long hair mostly if they know how to take care of it. I'm not a fan of girls who cut their hair very short.

Hi oohcute2340. I like both basically hair style depends on your structure and personality and your face cut. But one thing is there if you know how to carry yourself and your hair voila everything will suit you.But personally i prefer long hair for ladies and short hairs for men. I get fascinted with those women who have long hair or you can say i have a soft corner for ladies with long hair. One thing is true in long hairs women do look fabulous and beautifull there is a mystic charm in them that is very hard to resist.Take care oohcute its's nice to meet you.
