hair matching body size?

Some people are unobservant :-P .  I've known girls who were mistaken for guys despite little things like a pink fuzzy purse or purple floral overalls, because some stupid people just look at the hair to judge gender :-P .

On a "grass is always greener" note, I'm 5'1" and very sensitive about my height.  I'd gladly trade for your six feet any day :-D !

Yup, I grew up with parents who never got past that stage of thought :-P .  That's the reason I developed a fascination with short-haired women from a very early age.  I discovered (and learned to admire) androgyny early (gotta love that Annie Lennox :-) !), but have still never really achieved it to my own satisfaction.  Then again, it's harder to pass oneself off when one is 5'1" and voluptuously built. . .  Androgyny definitely rules, though ^_^v !

Kuroneko ~ sounds like we had similar parents   And experiences.  My absolutely beautiful girlfriend has less than inch of hair and it looks great on her.  I've never looked at a girl with long hair.  Never looked at a guy with long hair for that matter either.  Darn parents! ;-)

My dad is just into traditional, long hair on girls and short hair on boys - mom on the other hand thought me wanting short hair meant I was a lesbian (hers is very long).  Well, suspicions confirmed, Mom! LOL.  I've worn it as short as a lip length bob, and it's been as long as well past my bottom.  Now it's about shoulder length - did I just disqualify myself from this particular topic? ;-) lol

Kudos to you Kristie - your attitude is awesome!  I'd never be brave enough to try to color on my own though, same for cuts.  I trust my stylist for that.  He's planning to move soon - my heart will break!

It doesn't matter who discusses the topic, so long as they're friendly and try to at least respect the purpose of the board, whether they agree with it or not.  We get the occasional short hair basher, but usually mods will step in to help with that, so it's pretty safe.

Long hair is boring because most women don't do anything with it.  Either it just hangs there limply or stays in a ponytail, which defeats the reasoning of having long hair so one can do more with it :-P .  The ones who try new and creative styles, I can at least respect them for that, even if I don't care for their choice of hair length.  But of course, most short-haired women don't do much with theirs, either, which is a shame.  I can't play with product as much as I'd like, since my hair is so fine and thin, that I have to be careful how I place it :-( , but I do play with accessories like clippies and headbands and stuff, as much as I can get them to stay.  Sometimes I make a little baby-ponytail at one side, though that gets odd looks.  Being creative with hair is fun, though.  Days it looks fine on its own, or I'm too lazy to mess with it, I tend to leave it plain, though.  *shrugs*

I've been doing my own cuts for a few years now, with mixed results.  Times I screw up, though, I just try to fix it as best I can, enough to live with it until it's all right again.  I don't like the salon experience, since it's always a power struggle to get what I want, and besides, I don't need some stylist to tell me my hair is thin or grows in weird directions.  I know that already.  If they don't have a solution for it, I wish they would just keep their mouths shut :-( .
