Is short hair a turnoff for guys?

[renaissancewoman101]

I wonder about that. This weekend, I cut my hair really short. Actually it is a pixie type cut that looks ok on me. I worried about chopping off my hair but when my hair gets long, it gets scraggy.

 

I went swimming this afternoon and ran into cute swim coach and he made a comment about me cutting my hair.

 

Not sure if short hair is a turn off for guys. BTW, for those of you who friended me on FB, I posted a pic of how I look with my new haircut.

I like short hair on certain women.

[im rly mad]

Depends on face and just taste in general... I don't like short hair; my friend's ideal woman would have really short hair.

i prefer short hair on every woman

I've had hair ranging in length from pixie cuts to half-way down my back on and off for the past 7 or so years. Out of my closest guy friends its about a 50-50 split as to what they prefer. I'm guessing that it has less to do with a general preference for long or short hair and more an individual thing ie. how the girl in question looks with short/long hair and how comfortable and happy they are with it. The better question is are you comfortable with shorter hair or do you prefer longer?

If it looks good on you, the it should be fine.

I like short hair because it is easier to care for.

 

I found that when I had longer hair, it got scraggy and it was a pain to take care of.

I dislike short hair on women. Vanishingly few can pull it off. Those that can are more attractive with long hair. IMO.

I prefer long hair...but it really depends on the girl

Long hair for me, what is scraggy?

[citymouse]

When I had short hair I thought it was more work... now my hair is longer and I don't have to fuss with it as much.

 

Personally I think *most* women look more feminine and sexy with long hair. But I'm not a guy so don't listen to me.

I think like anything every man has a preference. I'm a girl and on myself I love long hair. I like some short hair styles and I've had short hair when I was around 18 or 19, but I know if I cut it short now I'd regret it. Ren, I want to see your cut!

Some girls can really rock short hair.

 

I have no preference.....

[misssmithviii]

Yeah I agree that it depends on the woman, most guys I know cannot stand short hair because it comes off as less feminine to them - but those are the same guys who think that a select few can pull it off. It's a very case-by-case, preference-per-person kind of thing IMO.

It would depend on the girl, short hair might suit some girls better than long hair would. I've had mine super long and super short and I've gotten lots more male attention with short hair, but I don't think it's really about the short hair but the whole look and how it suits the person.

I have a bit of a "thing" for long, dark hair, so while I wouldn't say it was a "turn off", per se, I wouldn't say it would be much of a "turn on" for me. However, it wouldn't keep me from being attracted to someone.

I prefer short hair on women, but as another poster stated, it should fit the face. Not everyone can pull it off...like some men actually look better bald, others should go broke buying the Rogaine!

[IntotheWild]

I think short hair can look good on certain thin or athletic body types. But if the woman has a few pounds on her, then I think long hair is the way to go.

[LonelyPast]

I prefer long hair, but it's pretty far down on the criteria!

[u4me]

I had long hair - which took time and $ to care for. I kept it long for my BF. Twenty months after we broke up I finally cut it. Then, guess who called?

[Jd1983]

I think it's really based on preference.

 

There are definitely some girls that can pull off the short hair look, yet there are others that can't. Alongside of that confidence is definitely key as well.

[BellaDonna]

Although he would try to hide it, my husband would dislike it if I cut my hair short.

 

It depends on the guy. Baudeliare dug long hair link removed

thnx for the answers. I feel more comfortable with short hair. For about 2 years I grew my hair out and let it be long. I finally got sick of it and chopped it short, then I decided to go with a pixie type cut and now it is VERY short, like a little below my ear.

[diamond78]

I can't believe noone has said this yet, but I want to see the new hairdo!!

 

I wish I had the courgae to cut my hair really short...My face is just too round to get away with it. But I would if I had the face for it!

[xyzzzz]

Me and my friend think most guys like long hair.well they dont have it long so they want to touch our long hair.
