I was wondering on shoulder length hair is it short or long? When I go into the hair talk I want to go into the right forum. I was always told it was mid length.

Hi,

In our salon we use the phrase, hair just above or below the shoulder.

Here are my definitions (some will agree and some disagree)

Very short - above the ears   (all of the ear shows)                     Short - ears to chin   (some ear covered to chin)         ;           ;           ; Medium - chin to just above shoulders        &nb sp;         &nb sp;         &nb sp;         Long - shoulders to bra strap         & nbsp;         & nbsp;         & nbsp;         & nbsp;          Very long - bra strap on down

I have shoulder-length hair and tend to frequent the short-hair board because I am not trying to grow it longer.  Most people on the long hair board seem to be growing their hair very long, whereas I like changing mine!

I guess it depends on what you want to do with your shoulder length hair.

The short-hair fans, like me, will say shoulder-length is long.  The long-hair fans will say it's short :-P .  There really just needs to be a "mid-length" board around here, or something.  Or has one been made already since last time I was here?  *blink blink*  *really needs to visit more often*

More awesome than a manatee!

     I think that shoulder length hair is the beginning of "long" lengths. If my wife at age 46 cut her hip length hair to her shoulders now, it would look distressingly short to me, I admit. But shoulder length hair in general is attractive *long* hair. I always hope for longer lengths, but I'm happy with shoulders. Blessings, Bob

Hi ragdoll ragdoll,

I'm Mitch and I've been a hairstylist for 15 years now and here is an answer to your question. Shoulder length hair is considered to be Medium Length hair or called Mid Length. But if the hair is a little past the shoulders it can be called longer mid length and if the hair is just above the shoulders it can be called shorter Mid Length. I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions I would be happy to answer them for you just private message me here or message me at customonegtr@rock.com.  Good Luck with your hair.

Sincerely
Mitch

I agree with Skydancer... for the purposes of socializing on this board... I frequent the short hair board because I am not trying to grow out or maintain long hair... even though my hair is shoulder length...
