Ok I can agree with that. Boards like this would be dead if there was one thing long or short. I guess we have to agree to disagree.

Mike,
Some people are more biased about hairstyles than they are politics.
Just read some of the stuff on this website! Haha!
I suppose I should include myself in that statement.
Actually I believe Carol had it about right. Who cares?
It is really quite trivial to debate each other about which hairstyle is the most popular.
Sometimes when something is the most popular it isn't necessarily the
best. Look at all of the junk music groups, junk food, and junk tv shows that
are popular. Hairstyles are not necessarily any different.
Just because
this or that hairstyle is popular doesn't mean all women necessarily
look good in that hairstyle.
Thankfully people have their own preferences. It would be boring if all
women wore the same length of hair. If all women had long hair, or if
all women had short hairstyles.

I can see why there would be if it was a poilitial poll but hair poll who would want to mess with the numbers. LOL.

Well easy enough question I think do you like hair on women or not hair? Then if you wanted to go more like what type of lenght they like then you put it with buzz,pixie,short to long front to back or back to front,shoulder,upper back,lower back,mid back,waist,butt,etc...

Polls often get it wrong. Time and again. Case in point, politics.
Isn't that true President Kerry, (who was comfortably winning in some
of the polls).
I remember back in the 80s, when many polls had Carter defeating Reagan, and Reagan ended up winning by a large margin.
Part of the problem is how a particular poll is worded. That is why different polls get different results. And
then of course, the relatively small number of people used in
comparison to the general population. They poll 1,000 people out of 300
million and pretend it's accurate, because they claim to have been
using scientific methodology. To me, polls are irrelevant anyway, especially in regards to fashion, since everyone has their individual preferences.

Thank you Kuroneko for pointing out the double standard by some people on these boards, in regards to those who appreciate long hairstyles on women and those who appreciate short hairstyles on women.
I'm just guessing, but maybe Fatmoogas' statement has less to to with our collective awareness of each other's preferences, and more to do with the extent and frequency with which those preferences are stated here.

Not so. Well-designed polls lead to valid and precise assessments.
As far as bald women being a common style in western countries, it is true
that it is not a common style. It may never be a common style in the
western countries. But that is part of the appeal of it, the fact that
it is unusual, and exotic.
To me, it doesn't matter if it is common style or not. Some women, if
they are very pretty and very feminine, look stunning, very beautiful,
with a shaved head. Others don't.
In the case of short hairstyles, or even ultra-short hairstyles, that
has become more common in western countries, including America. And
some women look fantastic, very feminine and beautiful, in those short
and ultra-short hairstyles.
Kuroneko,
Women I have met who shave their heads do it for several reasons.
Some for fashion reasons, they like the exotic, unusual, "high fashion"
look of it, and those women usually really doll themselves up in a sexy
dress, makeup, long dangle earrings, etc. when wearing their bald look,
like some of the bald women fashion models do.
I have also met women who have shaved their heads for spiritual reasons
(including a woman I know who was a Buddhist nun, who continued to keep
her head shaved after she quit being a nun, because she felt more
spiritual that way).
And some are just artist type of women, who like the fact that it is unusual and to them an artistic expression.
I have never met a woman who shaved her head to be a feminist or a
political radical, although I am sure there are women who have done it
for that reason. Which to me would be the worst reason to do it.

I really must be in a totally different world than most people ^_^;;; ! I usually see a woman with a shaved head as being either a religious/spiritual or artistic statement.

Anne,
I could care less what hairstyles are the most popular on women. I like what I like on women.
There is really no way to know just what hairstyles men like best on
women anyway, not unless you do an objective survey of the nearly 3
billion
men on earth.
So there is really no way to ever know what every man
likes, and who cares anyway what
hairstyles are most popular on women?
People like what they like!
Sometimes less common, more exotic, fashion styles on women look good
and are more intriguing.
I like all sorts of short hairstyles on women. Not just shaved heads on
women. I have made that clear many times on these boards. I enjoy many
types of short hairstyles on beautiful women.
A bald head on a woman is a fashion style Anne. In the fashion
modeling industry it is refered to as "the bald look", ..... as
in Eve Salvail and Alec Wek are two women fashion models who wear the
bald look.
And not all women look good wearing the bald look or even with a short hairstyle. Some have the look for it, some don't.
Very beautiful, very feminine women can wear the bald look or
ultra-short hairstyles better than other women can. I have seen some
stunningly beautiful and feminine women who look sensational in
the bald look or ultra-short hair.
Deliberately removing all hair from the head is different from someone having no choice in the matter. If you have no choice in the matter, you deal with it the best that you can. There are people without fingers and toes and arms and legs, and they learn to get along just fine. I'm not comparing shaving oneself bald to deliberating cutting off arms and legs, but the comparison is just to show how people deal with what they have or don't have.
I know you won't believe this, but in my sincere opinion, I believe that most people in western countries feel that a shaved head by choice on a woman is a very radical statement. She must have very strong feelings of hate or anger for her hair to do something like that.
It isn't a short hairstyle, which of course, many women wear. It's a "no" style. It isn't wrong that you like that style, but I think you're fooling yourself if you think it's mainstream or that many men like that look.
LOL!
Anne,
How about the many millions of men, and some women, who are naturally
bald (not to mention those men and women who shave their heads). When
they are out in the sun, they wear a headscarf, a wig, or a hat. They
know how to protect their bald head. They aren't stupid.
I know several men that are bald, and that is what they do, they wear a hat.
I also know a woman who is completely bald with alopecia universalis,
and she is very beautiful bald woman, and she wears a headscarf or a
wig when out in public, except on rare occasions when she is dolled up
and wearing her bald look.
By the way Kramer, a fake photo of a woman bald usually doesn't look
realistic, because they don't get the head shape or the coloration
right in the fake photo. The only way you can tell if a woman looks
good bald is if she decides to shave her head and try the bald look.
Some women look better than others bald.
Also, she never knows if she'll look good with long hair unless she tries it (and so many don't!).
Sorry, Brent, but a shaved head isn't just a political or radical statement. There are also medical and health concerns, as well. Hair protects the head, and with no hair on the head, any injuries could be much worse. Sunburns are a near-given for us blondes unless we douse ourselves with oily sunscreen. Different hairstyles and lengths are one thing, but eradicating all the hair from the head steps into another realm all together.
If Chloe looks anywhere near as good bald as such beautiful women who
have shaved their heads like Persis Khambatta, Natalie Portman, Bai
Ling, Joan Chen, Janice Robinson, Sinead O'Conner, Anna Fitzpatrick, or
Eve Salvail, then by all means, she should shave her head and try the
bald look. It might look good on her, it might not. A lady never knows
unless she does it.

Look, I eagerly vote for "Chloe with hair" over "Chloe bald," but I've never seen the latter. Is there anyone proficient in Photo Shop that can take one or two of these photos and make her bald? Put them side by side. Then let the masses decide.
