Hi,

 I've always noticed over the past 10 years here where I live in Madison Wisconsin, more women of all ages, even 20 somethings at the downtown bars, clubs, have super short hair. It's fun to see more women turning to the pixie, and spiked in the back of their head.

 I remember when I was in my 20's, I had short hair, I was a Wynona Ryder wannabe,;)

  Now, My hair is slowly growing to my shoulders. I love my hair. So does my Husband!

   I'm curious where everyone is from, and do you notice more young women sporting short hair?

 Thanks,..

Hi, I notice alot of women around my area (Minnesota) who have the short/spiked look, and they are women who are all different ages.

I am one of those women! 

I used to have below shoulder length hair, but since I have cut my hair to short/spiked, I get more compliments, plus I don't have to blow dry my hair anymore, just towel dry and put hair glue on and go.

 Hi Kim!

 LoL,...Hair "Glue"! ;) Sounds funny, but effective,...

 So I must tell you I have envied the women like yourself who sport the short spiked hair. I'm a punk wannabe, I realize that not all short spiked hair looks punk. In fact You're right many women of all ages look really cool with that hair style.

 So do you have  a scanner to upload a pic of your hair,...I'm curious to see your hair,..I know my Husband prefers my almost shoulder length locks,...but I'm older than him(I'm 35, He's almost 32) so I'll try a new do, whether he likes it or not, LOL!!!

 I'll wait till the 1st year. So this time next year I'll try a modified short spiked look, with some violet red lowlights all professionally done, ofcourse,;)

 By the way, I don't have a scanner, otherwise I'd scan some pics of my recent wedding, and Mexico Honeymoon too!

 We are sticking to our budget, so we can enjoy our lives, and possibly go back to Mexico in 2 years,...

 Thanks,..Love katie:)

 Hi there Kim!!;)

 I really like the spiked hair on you, I'm not sure if mine would look as good as yours. Plus you have a very nice face, bone structure and awesome blue eyes! ;)

 I have very Green Eyes and Natually medium dark redhair,..and fair skin, and I've been told I look like Shannon Dorherty, or now, at my recent wedding, my Aunt Jeannie(who is almost 44yr.s) thought my updo, and high cheekbones, with complimentary makeup made me look like a marilyn Monroe,...LOL,...I'm not too worried about comparisons,..It's bad enough I share my looks, with my Identical Twin sister Barb,LOL!;)

 I know I'm such a goofball,.. Hey Kim, Happy Early Birthday to You!! I wish I was your neighbor,..You are so cool!

 Thanks for uploading yourself on here,...P.S. I love your confident attitude, and You're right no woman should conform their hair(values etc.) according to society(or even men, even Husbands,..) You're sooo RIGHT!! Rock on Kim!!;)

 Take care, God Bless! Keep posting,..I hope to PM You sometime as a new friend if you don't mind,.

 Ok, bye for now, Have a great Monday!

 Love, Katie, in Madison, WI. USA!!

Hi demodoll,

 Interesting,.... longer hair in Florida, especially with heat and humidity.

 I hope you have a nice new home, and do find a great stylist where you move.

 I'm just getting to know this 10 yrs younger(she's 25yrs) stylist, and she's very good, and mature and fun too!

 Currently, my hair is straight(naturally) and parted bangs, about 2 inches above my shoulders.

 My Husband Steve keeps complimenting me on my hair;)

 I am sooo Happy with my hair, but most importantly my life!;)

 Thanks for posting, good luck with everything, and I look forward to other posts of yours.:)

 Love, Katie

I think it depends on the type of hair if it will look good long.  My hair is super thin and fine and it is really nasty in this level of humidity.  And you are right DD, it took me several years to figure out what would work for me here.  I assumed that it would be a lot like Atlanta or even Houston (both places where I have lived for several years) which are pretty hot and humid and it is and then some.   

My daughter has long hair and although hers is also very fine it is pretty thick and very straight.  So the humidity actually works in her favor here since she likes it to be as straight as possible.  I just assumed there would be a lot of super short hair here for the sake of convenience and I have not found that to be true except among much older women.  I really think some of those ladies who try to have long hair here would look very much better if they cut it but they seem intent on keeping it at all costs and mostly just scrape it back until they are going out somewhere.  My personal preference is short hair because it works for me.

Unfortunately, most women have long hair here.  It gets hot here in the summer, so there is a temporary increase in short hair then, but it doesn't last :-( .

Although most of the long-haired women here have the usual shoulder to mid-back length, there are a lot of women with hair to the waist or longer.  Oddly enough, I see them most often at the Wal-mart or flea market, though not sure why.

 Thanks both Kuroneko, and Hannebash!;)

 I totally agree with you all.

 I'm happy to see a variety in Madison Wisconsin.

 However I feel for you both, regarding the"everyone looks the same. Especially long hair look").

 Literally long hair bores me. Granted well taken care of hair(at any length) let alone long hair can be pretty,...However, I personally love a fun, fresh low maintenence hair style. Plus I admire others who are unique, it doesn't matter if you are one of a few with shorter hair. If I were You I'd feel proud to stand out. Who knows maybe You'll set a new trend where you live.:)

 I really Love Madison Wisconsin. Very diverse, college town, people from all over the world attend the UW of Madison University.

 The "Kids" and adults, vary in lengths and styles, even colors.

 God Bless us all.

 Ok, I can't blame people with long hair. Some love playing with it, or find it looks better on themselves.

 I'm so grateful, I can look great in most hair styles/lengths, and colors.

 Ok, thanks,...

 Love, Katie;)
