I just thought of something -- why do have the length of hair that you do?

Several of the posts left me with a question to throw out to everyone: No matter what length your hair is, do you wear it that length because you prefer how it looks on you or you prefer how it feels (or ease of care of the hairstyle)?When I had long hair, I loved both the look and the feel, but if I absolutely had to choose one that I preferred, it would be the look.Now I have short hair, and I definitely don't like the look! But I will have to admit that I've enjoyed a few perks that I never had before (and will take full advantage of them since I'm on a mission for growth!). I just wonder if other people with short hair prefer the feel (and how to care for it) over the look. For instance, I recently saw a photo of Marla Maples with really whacked hair (actually I should thank Marla -- she makes mine look pretty darned good!) and wondered why on earth she would cut her hair that short. I'd be astonished if she said it was that she enjoyed the look of short hair on herself.

I probably look better with slightly longer hair - so I tend to go back and forth between the two. On my wife, I like the feel and look of shorter hair (I agree the hairstyle on Marla is too short - doesn't flatter her). Long hair on my wife always seemed to get in the way and didn't feel as thick as her shorter style. Her long hair would always clog the vacuum cleaner up!

Jena,> Several of the posts left me with a question to throw> out to everyone: No matter what length your hair is,> do you wear it that length because you prefer how it> looks on you or you prefer how it feels (or ease of> care of the hairstyle)?I wear my hair long (mid-back length) because I like it that way ... always have liked long hair, probably always will. When I started to grow it long in 1996 it was to grow it until the year 2000 (or the milenium which some say is 2001). That will make it almost waist length would is what I would like.I like both the look AND the feel. I like the way it feels when it brushes my face. I like the texture when I touch it or run my hands through it. I would love if my wife would run her hands through it more often (I'm working on that!)I just finished mowing my lawn and wore a tank top. I liked the way my hair brushed against my arms, back, and face, while blowing in the wind.> When I had long hair, I loved both the look and the> feel, but if I absolutely had to choose one that I> preferred, it would be the look.I also like the way my hair looks. It is dark brown with copper highlights. Despite some grey that is appearing on the sides, it looks attractive. I have had women comment they wished they had hair like mine.Your hair must have looked lovely when it was long. I hope you weren't too disappointed that you cut it short.> Now I have short hair, and I definitely don't like the> look!

As for the feel, there wasn't much there to feel :-(Too bad Marla didn't get advice from you before she cut her hair. Hopefully she will realize her mistake and pick a style more suited to her face.Thanks for suggesting this question.Kent
