I love my hair now, but my mom thinks shorter hair is cuter so I thought I might entertain her, though I do get compliments on my very long hair allot. Sorry I have no picture, but here's what it looks like (if it helps): pretty long (past the middle of my back but not touching my butt), its thick but has body, long layers in the back and a few shorter layers in the front, healthy (its not dead looking at the ends like some long hair is), and a dark brown with a tint of red to it.
Ok, I know it sounds like I'm talking up my hair allot but I take real good care of it so it is what I said, lol.....so, do you like long hair better or short? And if it makes a difference I'm a pretty tall girl (5'11") and slender (but not skinny) and I sometimes think that my long hair balances me out, can hair do that? Should I get it cut or leave it alone? Thanks for the answers!

Moms always think their daughters look best in short hair.
Guys have a thing about long hair.
Leave it until you can decide on your own what is best for you,.

I had long wavy hair as a child, wanted it short though. Cut it when I was 10, it got really curly. It took me almost 16 yrs to get it long again!!! Its hard to grow it out without feeling frumpy. I love my hair long now. I would never go back there again. I have thought of cutting it shorter. I did, to the top of my shoulders and I wound up hating it! You miss the way that when you're cut with time, you can put it up or wear it under a cap etc.... I would start out slow by cutting it to a length that is somewhat shorter, but can grow back easily and if you like it and don't miss your locks and feel good about going shorter, then go for it man!!! Keep in mind that shorter hair takes more time to fix and more up keep at times. You don't want to have regrets. Once its gone its gone!

If you want a change, go for it. I cut 10 inches off of my hair (it's now barely touching my shoulders) the other day and it's amazing :) You can always go to a trusted hairstylist and ask for ways to cut your hair that would fit your face shape, too. It's true that not all short hair looks good on certain face shapes, but you can always find a short hairstyle that looks cute on your face shape. Plus if you get enough cut off you can donate it to Locks of Love, which is always a great feeling :)
Best of luck!

How long have you had long hair? So many women get stuck with that 70's mentality thing of I gotta have long hair no matter what.Why not try something new ?Shoulder length looks great on everyone and actually enhances most faces by drawing attention to the face instead of just the hair.Heck you don't want to get labled as one of those women that's defined by their hair. "Oh she's the one with the long hair." Dare to be different!( You might want to get some highlights too!

Your hair sounds really really pretty. If you want to cut it, just take off a little bit. Short hair is cute but long hair takes so much longer to get.(and it looks really good!) I would say get a couple inches cut off of it and get some face framing angles. Angles look really good with long hair. Good luck!!!!! :)

I used to have long hair and chopped it off for something different, and now I regret it. It is taking FOREVER for it to grow back to the long length. If you really like your hair, I wouldn't cut it drastically. Start off with a few inches to see if you like it.

I got my hair cut when it was real sacred, but then I ened up liking it because it had more body and it was easier and quicker to wash and groom. It also was good to have a little change.

You should do what makes you feel good about yourself. But my preference is longer hair cause you can always put it up or pony tail or bun. Or have it down around your shoulders. You really can't do much if your hair is too short...

The hairstyles that look good on you don't just depend on your body type- they depend on your facial bone structure. My advice- listen to yourself. It's your hair, not your mom's.

as long as it's clean and trim I see no reason to cut it....
both my granddaughter's have long hair.. and it's beautiful ...
did you ever ask your Mom if she had long hair, when she was younger....good luck...(my vote is yes, keep the hair)
