Feel Sexier/Prettier?

You hear all the long-haired girls say how much sexier they feel in long hair, so I thought we should see how many women actually feel prettier or sexier in short hair?
As for myself, I definitely feel prettier in short hair. If my hair gets too long, that's when I feel ashamed and unattractive. If my hair gets longer, I feel like going out and about less, and I'm more likely to dodge cameras. I just feel plainer and more awkward if my hair is longer. . . it's like not only do I have something to hide behind, but having it makes me feel I have reason to hide :-P .
I have a hard time seeing myself as sexy no matter what I look like, but I can definitely say I find short hair sexy on others. I'm a fan of ears and napes, so the hair I find sexiest is cut above both. And definitely I like layers, because short, layered hair just feels nice, almost like fur. Long hair doesn't have the same softness, and all it does is tangle around your fingers, anyway, which definitely isn't sexy :-P .

Yes, I feel sexier with short hair than long.

An earlobe peeking out or the entire ear is very sexy especially with the georgeous turquoise earrings my husband gave me just because. He also likes to kiss the back of my neck when my hair is short and that's sexy too.

My hair is fine, and when it gets to my shoulders or longer I fell like the stereotypical mousy librarian (you know the unattractive one). Taking off the glasses and shaking my hair never resulted in the sexy long haired goddess thing either.

With short hair, I don't dwell on my hair like I do when it's long, limp and lank, I just wash it and go. And that in itself is sexy.

That is an interesting question. I have never had long hair since my hair is real fine and tends to look really, really horrible once it reaches my shoulders. I did have a mid neck length blunt bob for many years and I got tons of compliments on it and felt really sexy. I cut my hair very short about five years ago and I was really freaked about it for a long time (years!). That is how I found this board actually. I looked and looked for a sexy short hairstyle that my hair would actually do. It was tough going because a lot of hairstylists don't get fine hair and you have to be careful if it is really short. But I was determined to find the right cut and I believe I have finally gotten it right. My hair is really short now but cut wispy (those of you who are old enough think of Joey Heatherton in the '60s when she cut her hair short). It is easy, fun, and I finally feel pretty again because my hair doesn't "fall anymore.

Now my next problem is that since I am 47 I just don't get the attention I used to, no matter what. It is just a fact of life I guess but middle aged women become invisible amid a sea of midriff bearing young Britney Spears hotties. Even if I had the body, I wouldn't dress that way anymore because I think it just looks ridiculous on us "older" gals. So I'll settle for being told that I look 35 and hope that people can see the light of happiness in my face. And maybe bleach my teeth.

Hi BaldJasmine. I'm also a black woman. I wear a short twa too. I love havin short hair.

Sure the men like it. Of course it's pretty if the style looks right on a lady.

To me most women look better with short hair.
I would hope that they feel pretty with a delightful short hairdo!

Honestly, I've wondered about that on myself. I have a chubby face so I don't know how it would look. I've been tempted to buy one of those hairdo software dealies but I just never have.
I've long hair for a while now, and I love it. I really do think that many of those short hair cuts are SOOO cute though.

But, then again, short to me is like shoulder length. Its all in the perseption (Spelling).

Laine:
I'm sure there is a short hairstyle that would look good on you. Trying a virtual machine to see how you would look in various short styles isn't a bad idea.
Most importantly do what you like. It's your hair.

Kathy Ann:
I couldn't agree more. The short haired women you mentioned are adorable!

demodoll, I just saw this post. I am in a similar situation and am struggling right now with the decision to grow my hair back out into a bob, or keep trying to find the right short cut for my fine hair. (I am also over 40) I "sort of" remember Joey's hair - do you have a photo or your cut or is there a similar one in the gallery? I keep going back and forth on what to do, and I have a hair appointment on Wednesday!

I really like the pic you posted from the gallery, bet your hair looks really good.

Great Demodoll! Good for you, I bet you look wonderful!
