Lovin' the new shorter 'dos...especially Jessica Stroup and Michelle Williams'. The longer sideswept bang keeps the cut super-feminine.

Love Janet Jackson's new cut. Saw her on American Idol finale. Strong, confident, beautiful. One does not need to have long flowing locks to be fabulous!

she looks gorgoeus!!!! I absolutely adore her!!! Work it Janet.!!!

I guess whatever cut 4 inches off my locks last month into a much shorter bob it looks great and shampoo is much easier to rinse out.

Way to go! I've had short hair for over 50 years and have never regretted it. It's neater, easier to take care of and believe it or not, makes a person look younger. I get tired of looking at those long-tressed gals (Kirstie Alley, Sarah Jessica Parker, etc. constantly pushing their hair out of their face); it's so distracting and annoying. If the guys seem to prefer the gals with longer hair, well then let them take care of it. Do we tell them how to wear their hair or that we prefer it longer, shorter, whatever? As for making one look more feminine, well that's bunk. It's what's inside that determines your femininity, sexuality, etc. In other words, don't judge a book by its cover.

The short looks are lovely! Why anyone would want to bother with long, stringy hair is beyond me. I agree with Barbara...you said it all!

far out and groovy babe , and I mean that

Good. I'm getting sick of long hair on every single startlet. And it's always looks so unkempt when they're on T V ,but I guess that's the style. Well, not anymore, and I hope that the new Pixie hair style will not be unkempt, like Renee Zellwager's hair. And I hope the new pixie will not be plastered down with moouse.If you look at the beauties of the 50s, most of them had short, or medium hair. Look at pics of Marilyn Monroe or Donna Reed.

When my neice went to college about in 96ish, she cut her long hair right before departing for her freshman year, b/c she wanted to look older,and more sophiticated. It worked, Now she's almost 35 and she still has the same basic short ( but not too short ) hairstyle.
She's a Lutheran pastor with a husb and 2 beautiful kids.

You girls are gorgeous !

The by far worst hair do I've seen in years is the runner up on American Idol this year. She always looks like she just got out of bede, shook her head to make it even worse and then went on stage. I think she lost a lot of votes because of her awful style of dressing and that terrible hair. Shave it off and start over again already!!!!

Ever since I was a kid, my mom had been chopping my hair off. She did it at my paternal grandmother's funeral. I was ten years old. I mean she made my aunt, who was a beautician, cut my hair in a pixie and she made her do this right during the funeral season and arrangements going on for my grandmother. To this day, I grow my hair. It is LONG. These haircuts look cute but I will be dead and buried before I will ever cut my hair again.

Well, some people (like me) LIKE long hair. It is a matter of personal opinion. It also has to do with the shape of the face. I cannot pull of short hair the way that Michelle Williams and Jessica Stroup (who look great with the pixie cut) can.

As for stringy long hair -- a simple hairbrush takes care of stringiness.

mathisbest The same thing happened to me when i was 3 except it was my dad that chopped my hair off. My mom said she cried like a baby. Well in my adult life I've always had long hair to my waist and to this day, I still have long hair and I'm 52! People always think I'm much younger than I am.

Count me in as one whose mother traumatized them every summer with that short haircut! My hair is long, and so is my husbands, halfway down his back because his father wouldnt let him grow his hair as a teen. We will both have long hair until the day we die. Yes, it costs a fortune using the best products to keep it up and since we are on a well for our water, and mine is bleached, I wash it with Evian. Thanks mom!
