You hear all the long-haired girls say how much sexier they feel in long hair, so I thought we should see how many women actually feel prettier or sexier in short hair? As for myself, I definitely feel prettier in short hair. If my hair gets too long, that's when I feel ashamed and unattractive. If my hair gets longer, I feel like going out and about less, and I'm more likely to dodge cameras. I just feel plainer and more awkward if my hair is longer. . . it's like not only do I have something to hide behind, but having it makes me feel I have reason to hide :-P . I have a hard time seeing myself as sexy no matter what I look like, but I can definitely say I find short hair sexy on others. I'm a fan of ears and napes, so the hair I find sexiest is cut above both. And definitely I like layers, because short, layered hair just feels nice, almost like fur. Long hair doesn't have the same softness, and all it does is tangle around your fingers, anyway, which definitely isn't sexy :-P . ------------- More awesome than a manatee! |

Yes, I feel sexier with short hair than long. An earlobe peeking out or the entire ear is very sexy especially with the georgeous turquoise earrings my husband gave me just because. He also likes to kiss the back of my neck when my hair is short and that's sexy too. My hair is fine, and when it gets to my shoulders or longer I fell like the stereotypical mousy librarian (you know the unattractive one). Taking off the glasses and shaking my hair never resulted in the sexy long haired goddess thing either. With short hair, I don't dwell on my hair like I do when it's long, limp and lank, I just wash it and go. And that in itself is sexy. Twanda ------------- |

That is an interesting question. I have never had long hair since my hair is real fine and tends to look really, really horrible once it reaches my shoulders. I did have a mid neck length blunt bob for many years and I got tons of compliments on it and felt really sexy. I cut my hair very short about five years ago and I was really freaked about it for a long time (years!). That is how I found this board actually. I looked and looked for a sexy short hairstyle that my hair would actually do. It was tough going because a lot of hairstylists don't get fine hair and you have to be careful if it is really short. But I was determined to find the right cut and I believe I have finally gotten it right. My hair is really short now but cut wispy (those of you who are old enough think of Joey Heatherton in the '60s when she cut her hair short). It is easy, fun, and I finally feel pretty again because my hair doesn't "fall anymore. Now my next problem is that since I am 47 I just don't get the attention I used to, no matter what. It is just a fact of life I guess but middle aged women become invisible amid a sea of midriff bearing young Britney Spears hotties. Even if I had the body, I wouldn't dress that way anymore because I think it just looks ridiculous on us "older" gals. So I'll settle for being told that I look 35 and hope that people can see the light of happiness in my face. And maybe bleach my teeth. ------------- "It is better to look marvelous than to feel marvelous" Billy Crystal |

I have always felt very attractive and quite sexy with short hair. I'm African-American and wear my hair in a very close-cropped afro. Not only do I feel I have the looks for the close to the head crop but I feel it is part of my ethnic tradition,... considering how many women in Africa wear their hair short or shave their heads. I have never felt anything but alluring with a short haircut. I've never had a problem attracting men. I feel very feminine! It's never been anything but a joy for me to have short hair! I think I felt even sexier the years I shaved my head. There is something about a smooth, clean-shavin scalp. I loved to get all dressed up as sexy as possible when I had a shaved head. I got more, not less attention from men. I still like to dress up plenty fancy and go out on the town. To me a short cropped hairstyle is modern and chic, and part of my image of who I am as a sexy, urban, modern, liberated woman. So yes, I do feel short hair can be very sexy on a lady, and many men seem to agree, including the newest man I'm seeing, none other than Brent who also writes on this website.------------- . |

I have my moment with each. I feel sassy and confident with short. I feel sultry and classic with long ------------- Loiving a good life is not regretting it at 60. |
