To cut, or not? (Hair, with pics)

I've recently grown my hair out from v short, to kind of between chin and shoulder length.

I can't decide whether to cut it again, as I am always tying it back because it bothers me.

I've name changed in order to post actual pictures!

So, stay longer or cut short again? 🤔

You look lovely xx

Longer. Really suits you. Have a look at Emma Paton on Instagram. Her hair is gorgeous and and you have a look of her.

Longer, its a more youthful look.

Both look good but longer does really suit you.

thebraispink · 14/11/2023 23:25

Longer

HeinzorChef · 14/11/2023 23:26

Longer is better

JustGotToKeepOnKeepingOn · 14/11/2023 23:26

Longer. Definitely! It looks much softer and more flattering.

TerrysNeapolitan · 14/11/2023 23:34

Prefer the bob!

misssunshine4040 · 14/11/2023 23:42

Longer and lighter is so much better on you imo.

Pokinganose · 15/11/2023 00:02

Like the one with the black top and lanyard so short hair but blonde. Not much point in having long hair if you're going to tie it back imo. The photos with short dark hair are just a bit too short. Would say you need something a little less severe. For the eyes plenty of sleep and water.

SkaneTos · 15/11/2023 00:33

You look great either way!

Disturbia81 · 15/11/2023 01:03

Why is youthful seen as better? The short cut suits her much more.

FourteenTog · 15/11/2023 01:22

Short with long side-swept top is gorgeous and elegant

I love whatever you've done with it in the photo with the red lanyard.

I agree it looks stunning in that photo. I prefer it short, but you don't need to go quite as short as in the short hair photo group. I think the longer hair looks a bit limp and dull. I'm also not so keen on the blonde.

Btw - MN is not a good place to ask for advice on hair as so many MNers hate short hair.

BenZodiazapam · 15/11/2023 07:11

Longer and blonder.

BlueGrey1 · 17/11/2023 00:37

Honestly I think you can pull both off very well so you are lucky!
I think I prefer it in the short style a bit more though but I think most men prefer longer styles on women, are you single or do you have a partner, which do they prefer on you?
I suppose longer styles are just seen as more feminine by a lot of people, that’s why I would be afraid to cut mine.

let us know what you decide

BOOTS52PollyPrissyPants · 17/11/2023 01:15

I like it longer on you and you can do more with it, have it that beachy waves look or straight. Think it softens the face. You have a lovely face.

StarlightLady · 17/11/2023 06:43

🎼 Let it grow, let it grow.

NigelHarmansNewWife · 17/11/2023 07:10

You're not wrong @ithinkthatmaybeimdreaming about MN and short hair. Fwiw OP I think short on you has more personality. You suit the blonde.

But then I'm naturally grey and have short hair which I had cut shorter yesterday. I look my age, so what? I'd probably be told I look 300, should dye it and grow it longer if I posted a photo on here.

CinnamonJellyBeans · 17/11/2023 07:33

I like both lengths on you.

The darker colour makes your beautiful blue eyes pop.

friggingnora · 17/11/2023 07:38

Definitely keep it longer. Much more youthful and suits your face. You look great btw.

cloudrunner · 17/11/2023 07:40

You look lovely with your hair as it is

DelphiniumBlue · 17/11/2023 07:41

I think it’s being blonder as well as longer that works so well!
