Ladies: to crop or not?

sciencegeek

I think all hair styles are fine if they suit the head in question. I dont really have a preference for short or long hair (on a woman). Even no hair can be fine.
Demi moore, Natalie portman sinead o-connor all looked great with a shaved head.

choose a style and wear it with confidence and you'll be just fine.

Disclaimer: married and male... so perhaps all females look appealing!!

I've shoulder length hair right now (growing it out after being short) and although I think it suited me short, as did other people, I just prefer it long.
I think it's because I'm carrying a bit more weight now and my hair looks better short when I was a bit thinner. Or maybe I'm imagining it!

Depends. I had a crop once and it didn't suit me, but I think on girls with well defined features and good cheekbones it can look really really nice. Emma Watson is a good example of a crop that works really well.

I've had my hair from halfway down my back to super short, and now it's about an inch above my collarbone which for me feels like a good length - easy enough to wash but equally I can do stuff with it other than wear it down.

I love short hair, once went to visit a guy I'd met on holiday and he didn't speak to me the whole weekend because I had cut my bobbed hair into a crop. Needless to say the hairdresser was advised to crop it more the next time!

It's currently almost shoulder length as growing it for my wedding but I hate the way it clings to my neck when it's wet and it tangles really easily. Kind of scared to crop it again although met OH when it was fairly short but I will do it one day. Agree with whoever said it doesn't look as nice when plumper, I found that was the case too.

Mine's now shoulder length, I had a crop and it took me 2 years to get it back to this length!

I think you have to be quite petite to pull off short hair. Also depends a lot on the cut, get a bad cut and it doesnt matter how pretty you are it'll look rubbish.

There is a fairly large lady at my work with short hair and it looks awful! However i've many pretty women with short hair and they look fabulous. It is very individual.

I hate short hair on women - always have, even though mine has always been very short up to now. At the age of 47 I am trying to grow it - I've not had it cut properly for a year and everyone says that it looks so much better! My 25 year old son especially hated my "dyke look" as he called it! I don't want to be one of these old women who's sex you just can't determine!

Bear in mind, some of us cannot avoid it! Following chemo, I was completely bald. Now have the much hated pixie cut, stainless steel grey and curly:mad:
I know this is a light hearted thread, so not taking it too seriously, but going from long blonde hair to very short and grey is quite enough thank you without feeling sexless too:p

its not for me now i'm older. when i was about 10 i had a bob/crop and it was fine. but as an adult i don't think it would suit me now. my hair at best the shortest i can go in about shoulder length. IT is mid way down my back now i like it, ( will prob get it cut now i said that).

That style wouldn't suit me at all, though I am sure alot of people could carry it off well and look amazing. I am a redhead with long, wild curly hair. Not frizzy, more like ringlet curls. So a short style would look weird on me. A hairdresser friend of mine straightened it for my wedding and hubby said he didn't recognise me at first when I came down the aisle. Sent him into a complete panic

I think men have a fixation on one or more parts of the female form. So hair could be his "thing".
If you find a lady with the bit of body you like, you tend to already like them, no real matter what the rest looks like. Mines not hair

I don't know whether women feel like this about men, or not? My OH has a thing about eyes in men. Apparently it wasn't my great body, funny stories, or gentlemanly manner. It was my eyes, Don't know why I bother tbh :rotfl:

I bet she fell for you because you are so modest hey!!!!
