I don't mean to sound vain, but I looked FLY with short hair. I like long hair though and I feel that long hair is easier for me to maintain.
 
I feel/ look more BEAUTIFUL with long hair a la "RAQUEL WELCH" (sp?)
BUT when I had my slick short hair cut a la "NIA LONG" like she was back in the 90's, or the Rhianna cut, I felt more BOLD and SEXXAY!! I swear u couldnt tell me NUFFIN!! :lachen:
I would walk around slickin my hand down the back of my low cut head. It was FIERCE HUNNY, FIERCE!!!:lachen:
 
I look dope with my afro hands down!! When my hair is straight... my shoulder length or weaved I don't get half as many compliments, looks, stares or whatever as I do when I am wearing my afro. Sorry but... afros are where it's at! :up:I just want it to get bigger and bigger!
 
Well the longer it gets it does make me feel attractive...however, i have never had short hair so i don't know how short hair will make me feel. I am thinking sexy!...

The shortest it has been it was full Shoulder lenght when for my 15th bday party...(the stylist almost died at the hands of my momma):lachen:
 
...just updating whatever I may have written the last time based on new experiences.

Hubby and I were on base last week getting his test scores and the woman responsible for giving him the results attends our church. I looked at her (we are new there) and said, "Don't we got o the same church?" She said we did. I told her I know many faces but not yet many names. She said:

"Girl, I know you by your beautiful hair. It's so big and fluffy but curly looking and...I would know you anywhere from the back or side or wherever by your pretty hair!" She nodded and said a few more times more to herself than to me. I wear twist-outs almost exclusively and always band the front with tiny clips that don't stress my edges. I always think my hair looks "just okay."

Beautiful...NEVER!

So...I am going to update that I am starting to get way more compliments with this hair than I have with any style I have ever worn in life. I still don't know how to adjust to it because I don't think I receive it the way I did when I was relaxed. When relaxed, I "felt" prettier. I could receive a compliment because I already felt more attractive when I took my time and styled. Now, I just feel like I am more me...whether that is pretty or not is actually irrelevant...at least I just found out it's irrelevant when she gave me that overwhelming, almost unending compliment. At home, I do my hair and when it looked okay enough, I stop messing with it. I never stopped to consider that my natural hair was pretty when styled because I must have internalized the fact that natural and style don't fit together, much like some people joke that military and intelligence don't fit together (no offense intended...just trying to make a clear point...and I am a military wife, so I would not pick on our forces...hope you know what I am trying to say :ohwell:). In essence, I don't wear natural styles, I am just natural...whatever that looks like on any given day. (This is what takes place in my brain.)

So....I said allllllll of that to say....

...maybe I am prettier with this 'fro than I think I am. I don't see what anyone else sees...though I DO enjoy my hair a great deal.

Am I alone? :perplexed Has anyone else felt this confusion as their hair grows?

Does that make sense to anyone
 
Actually I got more compliments with my short-cut, than when I had SL hair. I always wanted to cut my hair, but was 2 scared. I would get short styles with weave. I think I looked real jazzy with short hair, but I was short for 2 years and now I'm ready to grow, grow, grow! For me it has nothing to do with feeling attractive, I felt very sexy with short hair; its more about the challenge (wanna see how long I can grow) and its time for a new look!
 
I think I look better with longer haiir because I am style challenged and it is difficult for me to style shorter hair.
 
Heck yah. I remember I used to have some goregous APL hair and I'd get lots of guy attention. :grin: Now that my hair's SL. em..er it's the opposite :ohwell: I mean short hair does absolutely nothing for me.


It's amazing how hair can change a person's look completely.

I've come to realize that my body and face have and will always trump any hairstyle when it comes to attractiveness to men or myself.

It doesn't matter what style my hair is in.....weather it is a kinky fluffy huge fro, straightened down my back, curly from a set I did or in some alternative looking fro-hawk...or even looking a mess I'll always get attention and my hair is the last thing men mention:lachen: its just a bonus....but I can tell some of them compliment me on it because they know thats what women like to hear.

I grow my hair long because I really enjoy it and all the possibilities my coils give me......my attractiveness is not tied up in having long hair.
 
I think I have to admit that I'm becomming addicted to long hair. :ohwell: :lol: I think I look so much better with long hair. I guess I will be fakin it (wigs, sew-ins) til I make it!
 
My Profile name says it all. "LoveLongLocks".
I have had short hair, fro hair, relaxed hair, colored, you name it.... but my Husband says that I am most beautiful with my natural at any length. He loves that I have long hair b/c he feels that it makes me even more unique.
You are not alone in feeling more attractive with your hair, because I feel very attractive with my hair out long and swinging. I notice that so many different types of women and men find long hair attractive on women of color...b/c it is not something that we see all of the time.
I think that's why it is referred to as a woman's "Crown and Glory"
 
I don't know if I will feel anymore attractive.
I think that I'm pretty dang hot right now anyway.:lol:

I have prominent shoulders and sort of a narrow, beanie little head. lol. Longer hair (at least shoulder length) balances them out and that makes me feel more attractive.
 
I've always thought I was cute with short hair - I even look good bald, but I will feel more beautiful with long hair. It really is a woman's Crown and Glory. I used to get offended at this when I was younger but as I've grown older I've found that most people whatever their race (myself included) feel this way about women's hair.
 
My hair is ALWAYS tied back, and I feel beautiful nonetheless. I can only imagine what its like to have long flowy REAL locks, that'd be like an outer body experience. Im excited for it, but Im definetly not losing any sleep over the fact that I dont have it.

I definitely think I look more attractive with longer hair. I cut my hair neck length when I was in junior high and um, never again!:nono:

This is incredibly shallow but having longer hair also raises my confidence level. Since most black women have short hair, it sets me apart and makes me feel special.:look:

This is how I felt when I was in grade school. My hair was maybe bsl and thick. Most girls I knew either had short hair in general or REALLY thin long hair so my confidence was really up:grin:
 
I've had hair longer than "chin length" all my life. I now have Sisterlocks with about 6 inches of permed hair on 4" of new growth.

Initially I was bombarded with suggestions that I cut my hair off to "fully embrace" (dive into) the locking process. ....EyeBeeDamned!!!! Heck I chose SLs to keep my long hair, now I'm working the "ends" retention while I grow my nappyroots out.

BOTTOM LINE: "I" like "ME" with long hair!
 
I look better with short hair. I get the most compliments when it's very short, or pushed away from my face. I've worn a natural looking weave once, and when it comes to attention from both men and women short hair wins hands down.

However as I'm growing my hair out in it's natural state and not straightening it, it's possible I might be as attractive with it. Here's for hoping! LOL

:yep::yep:
preach!
i know i'll always be sexy no matter the hair...i could go straight up bald tomorrow and still get hit on.
and longer hair sure doesn't make me feel any more feminine-i feel feminine because...well, last time i checked i was a woman. :look::grin:
 
I think long hair fits the shape of my face better. Short hair makes my face look too long, and my shoulders too broad. I had forgotten about this fact and went to the BSS a couple weeks ago to "switch it up" and tried on some short wigs. I was quickly reminded why I should stick with longer hair.

Waistlength FTW...I'm on my way!
 
I love the way my hair feels on my back.

I feel more attractive with longer hair. I'm not sure if I actually look more attractive though. It's subjective.
 
I think I look better with short hair and many people, both men and women complimented me on my hair most when its short. Even now, there are people asking me to go back to my short hair. Meh, I think I will look better with long hair, but at most APL. If not, I can always cut it back off.
