I find it cooler to be able to twist it up and off my neck.
And the thing is, I like my evil like I like my men: evil. You know, straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, soon my electro-ray will destroy metropolis BAD.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I have to remember to keep it long enough for a ponytail, because I'll never cut enough off to be cool!
Except for that time you got it cut on TV.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I used to keep mine long for the same reasons. But last winter it fell out by the handfull. Just--every morning there was a boatload of hair in my comb, and it got really ridiculous, so I told the surprised lady at the salon, "Start. We'll see how it goes." And also, "I'd definitely go Dench if I thought I could carry it off." We stopped somewhat short of Dench, but now I need to go in for a trim, and maybe a bit more than a trim. I do like the freedom. I'm also contemplating buying clippers.

I went pretty short my last haircut (Friday - it seems so long ago!). It doesn't look very different to me, but a few people have commented. It feels lower maintenance, for sure.

I had my hair past my waist for so long it seems like my stylist is hesitant to cut enough off now that it's shoulder-ish length. I don't have a good enough sense of face shapes or hairstyle trends to actually have an opinion when I go in, so I just say "cut off as much as you want as long as the shortest layer can still reach a ponytail." (Because I do know face shapes enough to be convinced that with my chin(s) and (lack of) neck, I can't pull off a Dench). I think I might push her to go a little shorter than usual next time, it seemed a little too long to have any shape last time.

I do that too. Sometimes stylists are fine with that, sometimes they freak out and leave it longer than I really want.

Usually when I do that, I end up with much shorter than I'd wanted. The stylists don't always seem to realize how much my hair shrinks as it dries.

I have naturally curly hair, so I say "four inches long over all." That let's my hair relax into curls all over and hide the thin spots.

Yeah, my hair has ZERO curl, so not a problem for me.
