Short hair for life?

I agree. When females are little girls, they usually have longer hair. That is true with my daughter.

When females get past the teen years and become adult women with women's features, women's bodies and women's voices then many women get short hairstyles. Others stay long or medium length with their hair.

 

I have known many women who have worn short hair, or fairly short hair, their entire adult life once they were past their teen years or early twenties.

In the case of celebrity women, many actually have short hair but sometimes wear extensions to change their looks. Many women, and not just celebrity women, like changing their hairstyle length and sometimes color of hair.

That is why only a few women wear very long hair or very short hair their entire adult life.

I think one of the major reasons it's hard to find women who have never had long hair is because they were all little girls at one time.  Most parents put their little girls in long hair just by default (I guess 'cause we're all basically androgynous until we hit puberty, and they don't want their kids to get mistaken for the opposite gender).

And I won't even go into all the societal pressures from parents, friends, peers, the media, etc. saying women have to have long hair to be attractive or sexy.  Basically, if you go back and look through the posts LHFs write complaining about what they see as societal pressures for women to cut their hair. . . there's just as strong a pressure going in the total opposite direction.

Okie dokie.  I fit the bill.  Short hair all my life.  One of my favorite pictures I have was when I was in my 2nd grade picture, and I had a little boys haircut.  I love looking back at that picture because I thought it went so well with my face.  I think that is why I always fight my hair when I try to grow it, only to cut it short again.  Long hair makes me feel suffocated, and I have cystic fibrosis and that makes it hard for me to breath anyway.  Hence the short hair.  Plus I'm always hot, so having lots of hair makes me hotter.

I first thought of Jamie Lee Curtis but then found this:

Then I thought of Lorrie Morgan (country singer) and found this:

The two pictures on the bottom of the first page with her as a brunette are with wigs; I remember seeing a "how'd they do that" type thing on CMT.

I'm still hunting for another.

Right, Dave. I was talking about women. I've actually seen a few pictures of Liza Minelli from before she became famous, and her hair was right down to her butt!

It's easy to think of people who've had long hair all their lives. Lots of celebrities like that too: Jane Seymour, Crystal Gayle, etc. However, there are far fewer, who have kept short hair all their lives. Not many celebrities either. A few build their reputation with short hair, but later grow it out (think Anne Heche and Winona Ryder).

Just a thought: but is there anyone here who has never had long hair?
