I've kept my hair SUPER short for yrs now, and, frankly, on ME it looks

better than long hair, even when I was in my youth. I did keep my hair very

long for quite a few yrs, just to please other people, but I'm one of those

women with the right head shape and smaller features on the face, who looks

much younger, more energetic, etc.....in very short hair. I do have

friends, though, who have long hair, and some of them would look very

strange in short hair, even above the shoulder. Mine is cut over my ears,

and is short and sheared into the nape of my neck. I even get compliments

from MEN on my hair, but I NEVER did, when it was long, even though the

quality and thickness of the hair were huge. It's all in the head, so to

speak, on what hair length and style that a woman looks best with, some

long, some medium, some short. My hair is not as thick as it was 10 yrs

ago, but now, taking Armour, it is shinier. It is finer than it was during

my worst thyroid days, because the strands aren't thick and wiry like they

were, and not dry now. On ME, I like the wispy cuts of the 80s, with the

sprigs of hair sticking up. Each person has to have their OWN style, and

it's not necessarily anyone else's style. I LOVE my short hair on me. For

me, it looks " sexier " to show all of my neck, and it makes my eyes look much

bigger. Play up your best features!
