Do/will u look/feel more attractive with long hair?

[Butterfly08]

Longer hair looks better on me. I've never been longer than MBL so I'm curious to see how WL looks. :scratchch I have an oval shaped face which supposedly can wear any style hair but I think once it gets much longer I will need more voluminous styles to balance out the narrowness of my face - i.e. full rollersets.

I think a really short look would be cute too, but the growing out styles in between - like shoulder length and before I get to APL, erplexed just not flattering on me at all.

I am more attractive with long hair--everyone has told me that--short hair is not for me--so I have to get this BSL or longer. I wish I could rock short styles.

OT: You remind me of Kerry Washington.

I DEFINITELY LOOK more attractive with long hair. I also look more attractive with relaxed hair vs. natural hair. My face looks slimmer.This is PART of the reason I relaxed again , besides the tangles.

I voted for all four choices:

-I look more attractive with long hair.
-I feel more attractive with long hair.
-I will look more attractive with longer hair.
-I will feel more attractive with longer hair.

Otherwise I would not have grown my hair back out from a fauxhawk and later a TWA if I didn't feel long hair suited me better in more ways than one. I plan on being a bombshell with HL hair. lol

 

[I AM...]

I feel more attractive with big hair. I LOVE IT!!! Big when straightened looks nice but I love texture and natural curl. Length will come. I grow out and then down. The boys love my out....

 

[Zsugar]

My hair is the longest it's ever been (a little past APL).I voted that I look better with long hair, because I have a megan good, tyra b forehead.
I am super comfortable wearing a WL weave or wig. The hair doesn't overpower me because of my height- sort of like naomi c.

Ive always had long hair so I dont know what I look like with short hair. I love long full, flowing hair and thats my goal. I would like to know how I would look with short hair, maybe I need to visit a wig store

 

[GoldenBreeze]

I've worn my hair both short and long, but because of my big head I look better with long hair. As to how I feel, I think I feel about the same either way as long as my hair is neat, clean, and healthy.

 

[akgirl]

I LOVE myself with long hair...but lately I've been wearing it short (almost to my shoulders) and with long side-swept bangs and I feel gorgeous too...so I'm really happy to feel comfortable either way. When I want super long I just clip in my really long extensions and go...but I'm realizing that I like myself better without them. Never thought I would be saying that! Plus it takes off the pressure I've been putting on myself to grow it long. Like a weight off!

 

[Austro-Afrikana]

I think I will look and feel more attractive with long hair. I've never had long hair but as my hair gets longer i get a little bit happier with the way I look.

 

[beans4reezy]

For me, it's not necessarily about feeling prettier, but when I have hair that touches my face and back, I feel so girly..so feminine and I love that feeling.

 

[JA Girl]

How about some more responses like, I feel attractive whether my hair is long or short. I feel more attractive with short hair. There has to be someone like that out there!

 

[alopeciagrl]

Well I know when I've had weaves in the past I don't like the way my hair looks with past APL. However if my "REAL" hair was to past APL I think I would find a way to make it work. Besides my hair is thicker than some silky waeve anyway.

It could be the shape of my face too. Long hair and a long oval face NOT A GOOD COMBO

 

[Truth]

I use to think that.... because of how long my face is..and the fact that I'm meaty...I felt more attractive with long hair.. Once I did the BC it took me a while to get use to the idea of short hair..now I still feel as attractive with my short (well not so short) curly fro... then I did with my Long flowing relaxed hair..

 

[melodies815]

I actually look more attractive with a boy cut, but I FEEL more attractive with long hair. I get way more attention from DH, family, and others when my hair is longer. I am not sure what it is about long hair that brings out that kind of response from people...but there it is.

If I could just not be concerned and didn't have anyone else to consider, I would rock a near bald head all day, every day. Short hair was the best look I have ever had, IMO. Hubby (while we were dating) did NOT like me with no hair on my head, however...

Growing my hair long has become an obsession just to see if I can do it. That remains to be seen...I wonder how long I can keep growing this hair before I get the urge to cut and do something else...

 

[KynniB]

Its odd but i do feel more attractive with long hair. The funny thing is i think i look better with shorter hair. I think i just like to hide behind it.

 

[fyb87]

I don't feel I look more attractive with long hair. I do feel that in the area I live it sets me apart from most of the black women in the area. Therefore, I feel unique. And I'm all about being unique in every aspect of my life.

I have had a chin length bob twice and loved it both times. I thought I was hot stuff. But, for me it was a lot of maintenance and it use to aggravate me that I couldn't put it in a ponytail when I went to the gym. The ponytail holder would fall out. With longer hair I can put in a ponytail and call it a day.

So regardless of having long or short hair I feel the exact same about my attractiveness. There is no difference whatsoever.

i'm on the fence with this one erplexed...i've had my hair cut really low (similar to the way Halle Berry is rocking now; see fotki) and i've gotten sooo much attention with the cut from guys and girls...guys ESPECIALLY!!!!...right now i'm rocking a 16' weave and im getting the same attention...i love the confidence i had with short hair and i like the exotic look i have with a long MBL weave

 

[Renewed1]

I'm currently sporting a fro and I really don't feel attractive. But I do wear lacefronts and I feel goregous with my BSL hair.

 

[*closer*2*my*dreams*]

I picked all 4. Only because of my strong facial features. If I smile the wrong way or someone catches me at a bad angle, I can appear more masculine and shorter hair will just make me more self-conscious. I'm not stuck-up/conceited, but I THINK i'm pretty cute, so I don't feel that way because I look masculine (if that makes any sense, but anyway)...

Now that my hair is a little longer, I feel more feminine, more sexy, more fierce, unstoppable and I definitely enjoy that feeling. I don't wear my hair down often, most of the time it's in two-strand twists, a puff, or a bun, but when I straighten, I get an alter-ego that is something fierce....

 

[Lucie]

I definitely feel and look prettier with longer hair. When I had short hair, my brother told me I looked like a cute little boy!

That's how I thought I looked when I BCed. I almost cried. DH told me at least I looked like a cute little boy.

[chebaby]

when i was relaxed with apl hair i thought it made me pretty and beautiful. oddly enough i never felt good about myself with long hair. if a hair was out of place i felt sooo ugly and my whole day would be shot to hell.
when i first big chopped that was the first time i had short hair and the only time i felt beautiful all the time. with that said im doing a second big chop tomorrow.

i wont have pics for about 2 weeks becuase im getting a new internet and dont know how to upload pics from my iphone.

anyway i feel most attractive with my short hair. so much so that im thinking of actually shaving it off. not sure yet, i may just get it cut short.

 

[Encore]

I love long hair and it makes me feel more attractive and increases my confidence which leads to a better feeling overall.
Just the swang, shine and length.

 

[CurlyMoo]

I feel sexier with long hair. It also feels really good to have my hair touching my back. I thought it would feel disgusting but it actually felt like a massage. I enjoy being surrounded in hair.

 

[ladylibra]

No. But, I certainly understand that some women feel that way.

After my initial BC shock, I felt very attractive with short hair. And men seemed to agree, which only made me feel even more attractive. It's not so much the length for me, but the style and shape of my hair. I got the back of my hair to MBL but the front was still barely APL and when curly, the shape was . I did snip the back up so it would look better, and I felt better/more attractive even though it took me back to BSL.

 

[varaneka]

a lot of people get more attention with short hair these days

 

[Prudent1]

I've had my hair many different length and styles over the years. I prefer my hair longer with layers b/c I think it gives me more options (I love highlights, lowlights, twists, accessories, you name it). having longer or shorter hair doesn't make me feel more attractive though. At this point in my life I have a healthy self- esteem and no longer feel the need to compare myself w/ other women. I did used to hide behind my hair length when I was younger though.

I look more attractive with short hair but i FEEL more attractive with long hair.
