How do you feel about petite women with long hair. I have always been told that I shouldn`t wear my hair too long (past my shoulders) becasue it will just make me look shorter. Any thougths? I have been growing it out for a year and it is almost at the base of my neck ( growing out a pixie cut). Should I keep the layers so I don`t look like abig bunch of hair?
Thanks
Susannah

I think long hair can work on a woman of any height. My wife is 5 foot 2 1/2 (she insists on that 1/2 inch being in there) and has auburn hair to her thigh. Looks fantastic. Crystal Gayle is 5 foot 4 and her hair is nearly to the floor.
Personally, I am not a big fan of layers. I know in some cases (extremely fine hair) it may be appropriate but generally not it long hair. You may want to read the book "Secrets For Beautriful Hair" by George Michael (he is Crystal`s hairdresser and THE long hair guru). It has lots of tips on growing your hair.
Be patient and kind to your hair as it grows. Good luck! ;)

I am short but I think I look really good with my past tailbone hair. I`f people don`t like my hair because I`m short they can just shove it up their ass.

Plus I think I`m much prettier with my length I get looked at everywhere I go. So not every short girl looks bad with really long hair. I`m a example.

From a guy`s perspective, I`ve never seen a longhaired woman -- of any height -- that I didn`t like.
I`d love to see photos of you and your hair, Amy.

Hi there I love to show you some pictures, but my sister has the camera at her boyfriends. Maybe later I can get it.

Hey Susannah -
I`m 35, 5` 2 1/2", 110 lbs, and I have waist length hair. I have been this size since the age of 14. I don`t think the length of my hair is gonna make me look any shorter than what I am. Plus, I am not too worried about what people think of my size, it is what I am made of inside that counts.
My hubby is 6` 2", and I don`t think anything else can make me look any shorter than that. :)
Be strong and patient and let it grow out. Maybe let the layers grow out a little longer and see how you like it, then make a decission then. Good Luck!
Keep Smilin`
Dorothy :)

Hi Dorthy.
I bet you look nice with your pretty waist length hair. Like I said before short people can have long hair too and pull it off just as well as the taller people.

Just think of it this way, you won`t have to wait as long for it to become waist legnth as a tall person does.
