For most of my life, I was a strictly short hair lady. Occasionally I would let it grow to my shoulders, but that MUST CUT MY HAIR itch would start and it would soon be chopped off. This cycle repeated itself more times than I’d probably like to admit!
I really enjoyed my short hair for its styling ease and peppy look, but two years ago I decided no matter how much I longed to cut it off, I was going to try wearing it long. After quite the grow-out process (Is there anything worse?) it’s now past my shoulders and I have to say that for the most part I’m loving it at this length. I feel like I can do more with it now, but there is the drawback of it being a little to easy to be lazy and throw it up in a ponytail.
Last week after seven consecutive days of wearing it in a messy bun, that old itch resurfaced and I found myself pinning pictures of celebrity short hair ‘dos for inspiration. Now that I’ve established myself in the Long Hair Camp, I don’t know if I’ll move back over to Short Hair Land, but it is so tempting.
What about you? Do you like your hair better when it is short or long? Have you kept it the same length for the majority of your life?

I have to have my hair long because my hair is so curly the length weighs my curls down. If I have short hair it looks like a cotton ball exploded on my head.

I have found longer hair you can do more with. Up or down,and many styles to pick from all around.

My hair is really short right now due to cancer treatments. Plan on growing it out to shoulder length but know it will take sometime.

I love long hair on other people but on myself, I’m not a fan. I usually ear my hair in a short pixie and have done so for at least 6/7 years. This summer though I got brave and buzzed it all off. I love it.

My hair is longer right now but what makes life fun is trying all kinds of hairstyles. I’m cutting my hair to a short stacked bob. It’s just hair! Plus, its good to chop your hair off to let it all grow back healthy. Long hair is a lot of maintenance and with that comes extensive damage, its inevitable!
