Personally, I think women/girls look good with long hair, as well as short hair. However, it's not my place to dictate what anyone do with THEIR body. I have seen a lot of women/girls with short hair and they look rather lovely. My niece is very energetic and partakes in a lot of sports. She keeps her hair very short, because it keeps her cooler and is less of a distraction on the field. One of the best and most sophisticated and elegant actress of all time, Audrey Hepburn, at one time kept her hair very short. Former First Ladies Jackie Kennedy and Hillary Clinton also kept their hair short. I think perhaps the two women who kept their hair short, and no one can deny that they looked very beautiful with that hair style are the sultry Sharon Stone and 'The People's Princess' herself, Princess Diana. So I suppose it comes down to, freedom of choice and freedom to be yourself. I know, there isn't anyone who can tell me what to do with my appearance and my hair. I, and only I, decide what to do with me. If a female wants to cut her hair short , it's no one's business but her own. Women have suffered more than enough oppression. So it's really absurd and demeaning, not to mention stupid to ridicule females who chose to cut their hair short. As if we don't have enough prejudice in the world. If you are a female and you don't think it's appropriate for women to wear their hair short, then you are entitled to your opinion, but, don't hold the rest of the world to your standards. If you are a man and you think it's inappropriate for a woman to keep her hair short, then you're also entitled to your opinion, but you must accept it's not your choice to make and live with it. There are a number of reasons why girls cut their hair short such as fashion and their lifestyle. It really doesn't matter why a girl chooses to cut her hair, the fact is it's her choice and if anyone has a problem with it, then that's what it is, their problem.

I am now 50 years old, but when I was 17 I had my hair cut very short (it was about an inch long) and I loved it! If I still had the face for it, if my jaw was not starting to sag in other words, I would love to cut my hair like that again. I don't think that it is a cultural thing, necssarily...but then I'm an American, and I cut my hair at that time because I wanted something different from what everyone else had. I felt like doing something shocking. Luckily, it looked good on me! Maybe that is what these girls feel when they are cutting their hair as well...they just want to be different from everyone else. Or, they just want to rebel against what is expected of them.
I think girls should cut their hair in any way that makes them look their best, and not be dictated by cultural norms if that is their desire, and if they can do so without causing too much familial strife. It is, after all, their hair. I do know, however, that in some cultures a woman's hair is proof of her femininity, is her crowning glory, and cutting it is frowned upon. Keeping the peace over something like this can be difficult in some families where tradition is important.

I think it is acceptable as long as she looks nice in short hair ~~~ sometimes it is refreshing to have a change in hair style ~~~~and it is nice to have short hair in a warm climate because it makes for a quick shampoo and dry and then there is no more fussing to be done ~~~~if that is what is wanted. At times, however, people like to fuss over things because it is fun!

I once saw photographs of some people in a cultural group who lived somewhere north of India ~~~~ the men and women not only dressed alike, in long robes with colorful sashes and ties at the waist, but they also had their hair cut exactly alike: short, like the man's cut ~~~ they looked very nice together ~~~ I think it is a matter of geography sometimes~~~and sometimes one likes to be free from pressure of society to conform to something which might not be the most comfortable or attractive choice to make ~~~ people have rights and that is the way it should be


Peace & Love

Hair or bald heads are matters of personal preference. However, I prefer hair on my own head and I am culturally, accustomed to seeing other females with more hair on their heads than males. The reasons for females cutting their hair as males may vary from person to person but in the West, it is usually a statement of penitence and self denigration in some religious circles. With others is simply an effort to keep cool in the summer, to avoid spending time styling hair and money at the hairdresser, or to get the attention of some audience--family or friends-- by cutting their hair off.

cultural change is eighty percent in my opinion influenced by the society. And in the world today, even the richest culture, the Maasai of east Africa is slowly giving in to the society. The society in my opinion is 100% media 'brain washed'. a lot of female models have their hair short, even some hollywood celebrities like Britney spears. The reason why they so that is because of the media influence. Fashion comes and fashion goes. so i agree with it because in a little while it will be gone.

Certainly it is not a good thing. Lady's beauty is also in the long hair. Shankaracharya discribed the "KADAKI BANDHAM" of Ammavaru, the Supreem Godess in "SOUNDRYA LAHARI" Once you read "SOUNDRYA LAHARI" the importance of long hair contributes to the beauty of a women shall be known. However any thing in the nature is not perminent. Let us allow the hair to be droped by itself due to old age of a human being.

They are doing it for the same reason that men grew their hair long, like women, in the 1970s. They call it fashion

How would it look if boys wore sarees or mini skirts? I am sure you will agree that they would look weird. Similarly I think some things are meant for either gender. Why ape each other?
