Ok so I have long brown hair that is pretty straight and I am thinking about cutting it short. Actually I`ve been wanting to cut it short for a long time but my mom said I couldn`t until I start high school and I`ll start high school next year. I haven`t had short hair since I was like 4 and everyone says I shouldn`t cut it all off at once but medium length hair seems like more of a hassle than long hair is so I don`t get the point. Everyone says that guys like long hair but some of the most popular girls in my school have short hair.

I want hair that is really easy to take care of and isn`t always getting in my face. I like to play sports. Can I get that without cutting it short? Has anyone else just cut their long hair short all at once? I was thinking I would get short bangs and cut the rest straight to about my chin. What do you think?

Dear Bronnie,

I am going to answer this from a guys perspective, because that is what I am. Just about all the guys I know, much prefer girls with longer hair to short hair. There is something very special about girls who have their hair long. it looks absolutely amazing and is so enjoyable to run your fingers through, etc. I bet those girls who are popular with short hair, would be twice as popular with their hair long, trust me, I have seen this many times.
You say you want something that is easy to take care of, well the absoute fact of the matter is that short hair takes just as much time and effort to look after and care for as long hair does. Another big advantage of long hair is if you don`t feel like doing much with it, you can just tie it back in a nice ponytail and it still looks great, can`t do that with short hair. Also, long hair is so versatile, and is great for sport, as you can tie it back or braid it.
Before you cut your hair off Ii would like to discuss it with you more, but that is completely up to you. You can contact me anytime you wish and I will reply ASAP. My email is johnrm@origin.net.au.
Best Wishes,
John
