So when I was a sophomore/dating oberndorf, I had really long hair. Like, down to my knees. This was awesome in that way of "fall of hair all the way to my knees is freaking awesome and I could cosplay Valvalicia without a wig" kind of way. It was less awesome in that I sat on it all the time, oberndorf sat on it all the time, it got tangled in doorknobs and

She says it's too heavy for my frame and weighs me down and that I'd look better if I had shorter hair (read: couldn't hide behind it.)

Then again she also wants me to give a flying fuck about the clothes I wear and wear makeup daily and a variety of other things that are excessively unlikely to happen. She's lucky I finally took the time to figure out what style of jeans I like on my body. THIS IS AS FAR AS I AM WILLING TO GO FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS.

I am full of retarded capslock and italics.

It makes my eyes itchy! ALSO. That is five precious minutes I could have spent sleeping. Sleep is so much more important than gold glitter eyeshadow. yes, I own some. IT LOOKS AWESOME ON ME. tawny gold and sparkly brings out my eyes.

besides, if I save makeup for special occasions, then I don't lose the automatic confidence boost of YAY I LOOK HOT that comes from putting it on. I AM CONVINCED THAT ROUTINE KILLS THIS BOOST.

Really, I think we need to see pictures.

I like long hair. Its attractive and its unusual. But short hair can be hot, particularly when you're young. Whether its worth the pain in the ass is up to you.

This pic: http://www.twisted-muse.com/images/pics/gradpic3.jpg is me with longer hair. This picture: http://pics.livejournal.com/lassarina/pic/00001c1x/g1 is me with short hair and highlights. It is also like the only picture of myself EVER that I like.

The short hair is really hot. The long hair picture is really not hot, but I think that's cuz of the dress. The hottest girl I ever knew (there are many women posessing this title) had long hair and really hip modern wear, I don't think you can wear a conservative dress and have long hair, it doesn't go. The hair is still sexy.

Well, also the long hair picture I was still 3 months shy of legal. XD it's from high school graduation. http://www.twisted-muse.com/images/pics/gradpic4.jpg Here's another one of me at, I think that must've been college graduation. Hair's far too short to be high school.

If you got your hair cut, you could also donate it.

IMO, short hair is more pragmatic, and honestly, I also like the look of it (not necessarily more than long hair, but if it looks good, it looks good! Sexy is sexy).

As long as it's not an inch long. ^_^

It is not quite long enough for me to donate if I went to my minimum length, unfortunately. I've donated it three times in the past four years.

It's been half a year. I am growing mine out again. I think that says something.

[lassarina]

I do this often. I cut it, and then I let it grow, and then I cut it again. It's like I'm never quite happy with it.

Pros: Shiny. Pretty. Boys like it (quoth Jeremy.) Braids! And things.

To be fair, guys are interested in anything with a hole. While we're dense, unless you go Sinead on your hair, we're generally not nearly as invested in a girlfriend's haircut as the girlfriend is. If a guy claims otherwise, check his testosterone levels.

LOL. Well, there's that. Jeremy makes tearful-face at any woman who mentions cutting her hair. I think he has a near-religious objection to it.
