Hair opinions please (with pics)

[TearGas]

I've been trying to grow my hair but yesterday got fed up and had about 2 inches cut off and more layering. I always end up regretting it.
What do you think? Honest opinions of which looks better (please excuse face obscuring, but hopefully you can get the general idea of face shape/ hair type etc etc).

The longer version is my choice.

The longer one.

Thanks user.
Oh crap...why do I always do this. I'm now going to have to endure another 2 months (at least) looking like Nicola Sturgeon aren't I? :(

By the way, can I ask if age makes any difference, does the longer one look younger? (Am 46.)

Not at all! Your hair is a lovely colour and a nice texture. Funk it up a bit with clasps and stuff while you are growing it!

The long one does look younger!

The longer style is nicer, very Zoe Ball. You'll have it back in no time!

I prefer the longer style, and it looks younger.

I much prefer the shorter style on you Op

Bless you Enrique :)

I like the shorter too!

I think both are nice OP, but the longer one gets my vote.

I like the shorter (well i like both) but the shorter looks younger to me

You have lovely hair! I prefer the first one I think (sorry!)

I prefer the shorter pic. It's just hair, it'll grow

I prefer the longer one, but the shorter one is pretty nice too. Definitely NOT anything like Sturgeon!

In fact, I'd take either of your photos over my hair right now!

The good news is apparently our hair grows faster in the warmer months, so you should have no problem getting it longer over the summer.

It looks a bit less Sturgeon like today I think, (not that I have anything against Nicola, but not a fan of her hair).

I think I have a psychological problem in that whenever I feel down I think 'I know, I'll get my hair cut!'. It's rarely the answer.

Also...why is it that (without a single exception IME) hair ALWAYS looks great the day you go to get it cut?! (even if it had been looking shite up to that point..)

Your hair must feel in better condition after getting cut. Both hairstyles are lovely.
Although it's hard to tell your face shape under all your OTT foundation I'd say you had a round face so the shorter length emphasises that.
I'm a fellow round face, the bonus being it makes you look younger, so silver lining there.

Looking at the 2nd pic, you sure have beautiful hair. What the hell are you moaning about?

Hmm hadn't thought about face shape, here goes without the OTT foundation.

pic again

You're very pretty you can pull both off!

Shorter one looks fab!

Looks better shorter, much better condition and shape. In the first pic, the ends look a teensy bit scraggly (sorry)
