QuoteReplyTopic: Height and hair length Posted: August 02 2002 at 9:48pm
How do you feel about petite women with long hair. I have always been told that I shouldn`t wear my hair too long (past my shoulders) becasue it will just make me look shorter. Any thougths? I have been growing it out for a year and it is almost at the base of my neck ( growing out a pixie cut). Should I keep the layers so I don`t look like abig bunch of hair?
Thanks

I think long hair can work on a woman of any height. My wife is 5 foot 2 1/2 (she insists on that 1/2 inch being in there) and has auburn hair to her thigh. Looks fantastic. Crystal Gayle is 5 foot 4 and her hair is nearly to the floor.
Personally, I am not a big fan of layers. I know in some cases (extremely fine hair) it may be appropriate but generally not it long hair. You may want to read the book "Secrets For Beautriful Hair" by George Michael (he is Crystal`s hairdresser and THE long hair guru). It has lots of tips on growing your hair.
Be patient and kind to your hair as it grows. Good luck! ;)
I am short but I think I look really good with my past tailbone hair. I`f people don`t like my hair because I`m short they can just shove it up their ass.
I`m 35, 5` 2 1/2", 110 lbs, and I have waist length hair. I have been this size since the age of 14. I don`t think the length of my hair is gonna make me look any shorter than what I am. Plus, I am not too worried about what people think of my size, it is what I am made of inside that counts.
My hubby is 6` 2", and I don`t think anything else can make me look any shorter than that. :)
Be strong and patient and let it grow out. Maybe let the layers grow out a little longer and see how you like it, then make a decission then. Good Luck!
I bet you look nice with your pretty waist length hair. Like I said before short people can have long hair too and pull it off just as well as the taller people.
Hi Susannah, Yes please keep your hair long. Don`t let anyone dictate on how you wear your hair. I think shorter women with long hair is just wonderful and looks very beautiful. Gary

Hi Amy, I think thats wonderful that you have that kind of length of hair. Nothing wrong with being short at all, I`m sorta short as well. I don`t have really long hair but if I did, I wouldn`t let my height decide how long I wear it. You sound like such a sweet, beautiful young lady Amy!! Yes, I would love to see a pic of you and your magnificent hair. Would you mind if I e-mailed you sometime? Please let me know. Thanks.......Gary
Hi Gary I would love to show you some pictures of me. Thanks for the compliments you seen really sweet too. You can email me if you want to, heres my email name
Just wanted to say that I think short women with very long hair is a wonderful thing! I don`t see how long hair could make you look shorter, but even if it did, it wouldn`t bother me. I love tiny women, so much easier to wrap my arms around and hold. Unfortunately, all the lovely longhaired women are taken...isn`t that always the case? I wish all women would let their hair grow as long as possible, it would make it easier for me to meet a good woman...lol.
Being petite and having long hair is pinnacle of feminity. I`m sure it is short haired women telling you that b.s., because men love long hair and that makes long haired women, sad but true, "competition". You grow girl.
This was in the "From The Past:" at the top of the board and I just wanted to bump it up to add my thoughts.
This so called rule goes along with the age rules and the gender rules.
As I said before on another thread, if society told you you had to walk around with boards tied to your arms so they wouldn't bend because that looks good would you do that?
Until we trace these rules back to their creators then we should ignore them. Who are They to tell anyone how they should wear their hair?
If hair was not meant to be long on older women or shorter women or on men it would not grow long. If it can grow then who can tell you that you can't have it?
Right you are, Robert! Why these rules seem to aim at everyone looking the same, is what I´d like to know. What´s wrong with diversity and different kinds of beauty? And even beauty, why are we supposed to be beautiful at every cost? I know lots of people that are not exactly beautiful (by "rule" standards, I suppose), but attractive and interesting and cool in other ways! I think it´s sad when even really beautiful people end up having surgery to deal with their "deformities".
Sometimes I feel that letting my hair grow and not using makeup becomes a political statement as well as being my personal preference.
The more you complain, the longer God lets you live.
I'm 4'11 and 100 lbs. I love my long hair, but do make efforts to make sure that my hair doesn't take over my features. I still want my face to be seen :)
