I constantly hear that most guys don't like girls with short hair. Especially as in a boyish haircut. And I agree- it's hard to look/feel "pretty" with boring hair. But I am so dreadfully sick of my long hair. (Mine is several inches past my armpits.) I hate showering because of having to dry it. And on top of everything, it curls in the most unflattering ways. I look so stupid. I feel like the only escape from the annoying body of my hair is to get it short short short. Yet I know I'll still hate the way it looks because there will be nothing there. What on earth should I do?
(P.S. Semi-short is hardly an option because the curls are even worse and uncontrolable. And it's not kinky... just wavy and loopy. Especially my bangs. Ugh!!!)
Melody answered Saturday April 12 2008, 2:52 pm: I had extremely long hair as well.. up until 2 days ago. I was having the same problems as you. I dreaded taking showers, because it took over an hour to dry, and I felt I couldn't do anything with it. Mine was super straight though, not curly. However I had problems with that, because it always looked so stringy. I felt like a 12 year old with my hair.
So I got so fed up I went and chopped it off. It now sits on my shoulders. I got dressed up this morning, and my hair only took about 15 minutes to dry, and it looked so good after being styled. My boyfriend freaked out at first when he seen it, but now he loves it as well. If your hair is curly, but a straightening iron. Short hair is in at my school right now, and a bunch of my friends just use straightening serum, and straighten it in the morning.
In general I love my hair now. The only down side is i'm not used to my bangs being shorter (They start at my eyebrow) so they are constantly in my face if my hair isn't styled. Also it kind of sucked when I couldn't put it into my signature high ponytail. Haha =] But other than that I really like my hair.
Moop answered Thursday April 10 2008, 2:20 am: guys like attractive girls who feel confident about what the look like and who they are. if you feel most comfortable in short hair do it. bald? do it. it sounds like right now you're uncomfortable with your hair, so change it up. what matters ultimately is what you think because you always have to deal with your face in the mirror.
for what it's worth, my hair right now is at best 2 inches long and cut into a faux hawk. it's the most attractive I've felt and a great many people have said it's the most attractive I've been. I get the occasional little boy comment, but if it's little boy hair then I love being a little boy because I look my best. [ Moop's advice column | Ask Moop A Question ]
