A thing for short hair.......

    I know I'm not alone out there, so here's the question. Where have all the short hair girls gone? I know it's impossible for women to keep their hair the same/style for any length of time as they have read the magazines and all of sudden need to change it. Is there any hope for me or will it be heaven in spring but as soon as high fashion season comes, it'll be the latest pop teen/ cool ad/ de-rigeur do that will be the norm.

    I think short hair rocks.People(including myself)arent brave enough to try it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,584 ✭✭✭✭Creamy Goodness

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9 hotbot


    Adele, don't be afraid, you just might make someones day!
    Cremo, they have a certain something don't you think.

    I knew I wasn't the only one!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,526 ✭✭✭*adele*

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,130 ✭✭✭✭Karl Hungus


    Well, I imagine a lot of girls would be afraid of being thought of as a dyke if they cut their hair short.

    I remember you thinking I was relatively good looking :(

    Hotbot & Adele: mine is only about four inches, and I love it, and DON'T look like a dyke.
    Go for it :)

    I never said I didn't like it personally.
    Just that there's a lot of uptight people out there far too sheepish to do something interesting for fear or someone saying something.

    I had really short hair but I'm growing it out now for my bf as he's never seen me with long hair and wants to see what it looks like.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 602 ✭✭✭edibility


    Terrible terrible reason, whould only change your hair for yourself :)
    And hungus, I was only joking :)

    yeh, four inches sounds like it looks nice, not that i love razor shaved girls hair.


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 5,555 ✭✭✭tSubh Dearg


    sure I was thinking of growing it long again anyway, had it short for yonks, just gave me an excuse.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,747 ✭✭✭Wez


    I LOVE short hair! You know it's actually a fetish!? I think the very short looks hawt, but when it's just above shoulder it doesn't look that good.

    Hawt..

    I have short hair, I love it. It's so practical. Don't think I'd ever grow my hair again.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 602 ✭✭✭edibility


    Agreement Wez....that first chick is very nice..... *drools*


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,811 ✭✭✭*Page*


    i cut my a$$ length hair into about 3 inchs spikie pixie look and it was so pretty.....

    its a bit longer now(trying a new style) but i've still got it short(ish)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 447 ✭✭MickFarr


    Long Hair Rocks !! Don't cut it short!!! :D

    Lots of my ex's had short hair

    I think it shows confidence for a girl to cut their hair short

    I really like girls with hair as short as mine(ie about a 2blade)

    but its not exactly a deal-breaker if a bird has long hair:)

    so you should never do anything for other people, only yourself.....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 265 ✭✭Anton17


    Short hair on a girl has the potential to look really good, like that girl from the rules of attraction (Shannon Something) or really bad like Hilary Swank in boys dont cry.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 55 ✭✭i am a lady


    I too have short hair, wouldn't exactly say it's practical though as it requires a lot more effort to style it than long hair did...but I definitely prefer it, and had no complaints from the boys yet either. Also wear glasses most of the time, which apparently adds to the appeal. I dunno, beauty is in the eye of the beholder really, isn't it? :confused:

    No, you should never change your appearance for someone else tbh :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,851 ✭✭✭PurpleFistMixer


    Back when I had short hair I didn't do the whole hair styling thing, so my input may be slightly skewed, but I found it incredibly practical. I mean, you never, ever, get tangles, and it goes from dripping wet to perfectly dry in about an hour. My current hair can stay wet all day if it so desires.
    I'd be tempted to go back to having short hair, but I think it wouldn't suit me at all, face shape wise and such.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,811 ✭✭✭*Page*


    i did serious stlye from a girl who did either down or pony tail to spending up to and over 30 mins a morning doing my hair!! now i can do the pony tail thing again(old habbits die hard)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,186 ✭✭✭✭Sangre


    Im sure most girls would like to try short hair for a while but heres the kicker, hair doesn grow very fast. If you get short hair and dont like it you're pretty much stuck with it for months.

    Big gamble.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 242 ✭✭Chaos_Path


    i have short hair but for the past six months ive had extensions so its really long, hehe.

    am undecided if ill go back to having a short spiky do...it suits me but its soooo much effort....

    up to a couple of months ago I had REALLY long hair... below my ass... in September it was brown wid red 'n copper hilights.
    In october i dyed it all mad red
    in november i dyed it a cool Blue-black colour
    in December I ran out of ideas for making a statment wid it so I went to the hairdresses and had her cut it all off... it's now about an inch long
    oh and since i cut it, it's been brown, red and black...
    It will be green next week tho!!!!

    SHORT HAIR ROCKS... it's so much easier to style... and cheapet to dye!!!!
    (bty... I DON'T get accused of bein a dyke!!)

    What do your hair statements mean?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,811 ✭✭✭*Page*


    from long to short


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166,026 ✭✭✭✭LegacyUser


    i think in general long hair looks better on women, but the odd girl can look dam hot with short hair.

    my hair is now sitting on my shoulders and blonde its pretty sweet


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,747 ✭✭✭Wez


    Page, I think yours looks good short.. I take it's short now?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,488 ✭✭✭Goodshape


    There's a girl working in my local here in Prague with a wet-shaved bald head.

    I was surprised, but it's damn sexeh. Not really that uncommon here either, and generally looks quite nice - but I think it takes a certain type of person for it to work properly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,747 ✭✭✭Wez


    Actually, just read your last post.. Thought it was someone else..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,811 ✭✭✭*Page*


    I was thinking of shaving it all off!!!


    changed my mind!! i just get bored easily

    I dunno I think women with short hair lack femininity. You cant beat nice long flowing locks on a woman.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,186 ✭✭✭✭Sangre


    It really takes a pretty face to pull it off well. Short hair draws the attention to the face/bone structure which can really highlight a well shaped face.

    Imo, shaved = no. Try about 2 inches.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 68,317 ✭✭✭✭seamus


    What paperclip said. 2-4 inches can look hot on some women. Emphasis on the word *some*. It's a yay or nay thing. Most women look awful with short hair, no women look "OK" with short hair.

    Shorter than 2 inches (i.e. shaved) is not good looking on any women. Too butch for my liking. I like my women womanly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,488 ✭✭✭Goodshape


    Too butch on some woman. If you saw this girl I'm chatting about I think you'd change your mind - small, beautiful figure, lovely little round face, amazing eyes, completely bald head.
    It's surprising how well it looks.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,454 ✭✭✭weemcd


    nah, makes you look like a dyke
