I wear it really short now and wish I had done so long ago.

I used to have really long hair, about down to the middle of my back. Then one day I saw a picture of me. It was taken from behind. I saw that faint bald spot peeking out from underneath the base of my pony tail. I realized that I was starting to look like so many aging hippies I had made fun of in my punk rock years. (I actually haven't left my punk rock years.) I cut my hair, shave my head, and have never looked back.

I've had it down to my knees. I've also shaved my head. I have to say I prefer my hair long because when it's short it's a mess of cowlicks and actually needs more product to avoid looking unkempt than when it's long.

I love short hair. I have naturally curly hair, ten minutes and I’m done. Men love my hair.
I never understood long hair at all. Everyone I know that has it, wears it up most of the time. Long hair can be aging if it’s not styled properly. It drags you down, hides your neck.

Half-Irish, my thick, wavy hair has been delightful, although heavy and hot in the summer.

Every time I had short hair, my hair winged off in different directions. It only looked good the day I washed it. I'm not willing to wash my thick hair every day. It takes forever to dry!

In 2016, I let my hair stylist friend layer my hair. Big mistake.

"I wanted you to see what it's like to have thin hair like me," she said.

To me, the layers looked raggedy, split and (I never told her) trashy.

Have been growing out the layers ever since. Thanks goodness my hair grows fast.

What do you think?

Going opposite way here. Had lost it with chemo twice and now letting it grow down my back.

Men love long hair on women so many women have it for that reason. But not everyone believes their hair to exists to please men.

I keep my hair length just above my shoulders and because it's wavy, it stays higher than that. I cut my hair myself when it starts to annoy me, by frizzing out from the sides of my head, or getting in my eyes.

I don't even look in a mirror..I just grab small handfuls of hair, slide my fingers down the clump of hair until I feel it taper off, then snip off the spindly end tips.
I keep doing this all over my head until I no longer see frizzy, jagged hair. It doesn't take long, and the wave in my hair makes it look OK afterward.

Personally I like longer hair, but whatever makes you happy ,
Did you try one of those apps to see what different styles would look like on you ?
We could vote on them. Lol

My hair is almost to my waist now...I hated it each time I got a bug up my butt to cut it short...I thought it took more effort to take care of short hair than my long hair. But, that being said, it will grow back...mine grows really fast. I say, if you want a big change, go for it!

If you have kids,they may not recognize you for a while.just like if your husband or boyfriend shaved off his mustache,the kids will stare,sure understand the voice, but no the changed appearance.

I love having short hair. Lopped it off and bleached it when I got divorced to match my lighter emotions. No regrets. Find a bunch of pics of cuts you like and work with your stylist. Some short cuts can deb spiked or not, so you’ll have options. And it’s just hair—if you want to grow it back that’s easy to do.

Every short cut = instant regret every single time! My hair is MUCH easier to care for long. My natural waves end up cut somewhere near where they start which results in cowlicks and hair that HAS to be tamed to be presentable.

Waves in long hair can add body to a straight look or be scrunched into tousseled curls. Easy peezy!

Not a single regret. Went from middle of my back to a pixie. Fucking awesome. Saves time, hair products, no fuss, no muss.

I’ve cut my hair several times throughout my lifetime. Each and every time I regretted doing so. I don’t plan on doing it again. I do need a trim, though.

I've been thinking of cutting my hair and my beard, but still on the fence. Had long hair and beard since I was a baby ? I say don't cut it, you look good

It's been 12 years since I had to deal with hair issues of any kind but I like your hair as it is. Still, the only way to know how a short cut will look on you is to do it.

I vote go for it.

I love long hair on a woman, just sayin, you have to take care of it.
