Is it normal to cut your hair short after having a long period of long hair?

Well, I cut my long hair a few days ago and now I look completely different. I look more clean and tidy, does this appeareance appear more attractive?

    I do that a lot.

    My hair grows long and then I get tired of it and get it chopped off.
    Then it's short for a little while... and then I let it grow out.

    Lately I've been making a point of donating my hair when I feel like chopping it off though. Might as well make use of my hair-mood-swings eh?

    As a guy I've had very long hair (longest of my class ... including girls) for a very long time. And now that I got rid of it, it's just less of an annoyance really (if the face is hopelessly ugly, hair makes no difference, lol).
    In fact, people finally stopped asking me if I am a drummer or something XD

    If you're a girl, just go with whatever makes you feel good. I'd think guys like a happy girl more than one with long flowing hair and annoyed with it, but that's just me ^^

  • I'm a girl and I've only cut my hair once short after having it long and I regretted it. I grew it back and I want to cut it again, but I'm sure I'll want the long hair back in the end.

    Most guys I've met prefer long hair but having it myself, it's really hard for me to cut it short even tho I have a few times.

    I am currently letting my hair grow longer again. I have cut it twice and donated the hair to little kids who need it.

  • I cut my long hair about a year ago because I have curly hair and I straiten a lot, so I cut it and totally regret it. It's grown a little, but I don't know how long it will take for it to full grow back. :(

    If you're a boy, yes. If you're a girl, no.

    yeah i am the same. i cut mine because my husband kept accidentally pulling on it in bed but as soon as i cut it, i regretted it. i ended up spending 100s on hair extensions and have since grown my hair back to being long. my husband prefers my long hair too so he takes notice to make sure he doesnt accidentally pull my hair. but guys prefer different lengths and yes your attitude and confidence does play a big part. you give great advice kellstar! :)

    Everytime I get long hair I have the urge to cut it short and everytime I regret it! I'm a girl so I can't comment if short hair is more attractive or not but on a guy I like short hair.
    I guess it should matter more on how u feel about it, if u feel more attractive with it short then that's great! I know plenty of unattractive girls but they get the guys because they are super confidant with themselves so it's about the attitude you convey also (in my opinion anyway)
