If you do, make sure you really know what you want and how you want it.

I had hair just below my waist once upon a time, but it was hot, a pain in the ass somedays, and I was bored, asked a couple of "girlfriends" what would look nice. "Get it cut short" they said.

Of course later when I was hunting them down to kill them they were nowhere to be found.  ::)

I have a round face, I looked like a 25 year old kewpie doll by the time the butcher who did my hair got done with me. Never let someone cut your hair when you're not sure what you want and the first words out of their mouth start with "trust me".

I have had very straight waist length hair for most of my adult life, but I did have it cut short once.

I think it looked cute on me, but it took more time styling it every single morning with a blow dryer and a round brush to keep it looking cute.

It was too short to pull back into a ponytail, which annoyed me.

I have never had it cut that short again.

If you want constant maintenance and hassle, stick with long hair.
If you want simplicity and functionality, get it short.

Short can look good on women, but I think it would take a lot of effort to keep it looking good, while long hair tends to take care of itself.

I personally like long hair but it's yours so it's up to you.  just make sure you want to it takes a long time to grow it back.  Also post photos if you do.

Nope. Sounds like it would be a major error to me.

I think Icequeen hit the mark.

If you are thinking to enhance your natural gifts, then you should take into account the shape and features of your face, the relative size of your head compared to your shoulders, the length of your neck. It would probably be wise to go in for a professional consultation BEFORE you make a decision to drastically change your hairstyle.

If you are just wanting a change, I would still recommend some consideration before cutting off two year's worth of growth or so.

If you just want relief from the heat, then like Schleeed said, go with simplicity - just ditch it. (I know I'm not a very pretty girl, but I regretted going from below the shoulder to above the ear in one afternoon)

I agree with 'drew and parts, mostly, though ... it's your decision to make!

The thing I usually ask is, if your hair is long enough to be pulled back, are you pulling it back more than half the time?  If the answer's yes that's a mark toward cutting it shorter.

I think no matter what, hair's high-maintenance- you have good and bad hair days no matter what lengthy it is.  (Unless you're bald, in which case, good or bad scalp days?)
it is well known that PMS Elle is evil.
I think you'd fit in a 12" or at least a 16" firework mortar
You win this thread because that's most unsettling to even think about.

yes/no?

Hypothetically, if we were daiting,  I would say its up to you.  I , myself like both short and long hair, but I prefer the short one.   My hair grows very very fast, if I wanted to change it....  Longer hair can get caught.   I don't know, I am just trying to think of why I like short hair better.

Its getting hard to think of anything else :laugh: :laugh:

Wow, you'd let Fiona choose her own hairstyle if you were dating her?  I never knew you were so liberal.  Would you let her choose what to eat, too?
