I looked like Cousin It with a haystack of thick, mostly frizzy hair. I've pretty much surrendered to crazy-wild hair that does what it wants, and is just long enough for a stubby pony tail for sports or working out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/short-hair-1#post-957788 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 03:20:26 +0000 Suz 957788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deb, you look beautiful with short hair!&nbsp;</p> <p>(You look great with longer hair too, you lucky woman!)&nbsp;</p> <p>I've worn my hair short for most of my life -- from my first pixie at about age 4 until ...well...all these decades later. Once ever ten years or so I would grow it for a while, but I always go back to short and feel best in short.&nbsp;</p> <p>The shortest it's ever been was in the late 70s -- a super super almost shaved punk-ish look. I then grew it into a somewhat longer spikier do. Makes today's cut seem positively tame.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/short-hair-1#post-957750 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 02:29:35 +0000 Sanet 957750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You do look lovely with the short hair.</p> <p>Except for once when my hair was shoulder length for a short while I have always had short hair. From VERY short to a little bit longer. Just can't manage long hair. (A while ago I had a look at our Grade 12 group's photo in 1988 and almost no one had long hair.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/short-hair-1#post-957749 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 02:29:01 +0000 Adelfa 957749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a pixie in 1980 and I hated it. I've had my current bob for several years (7?) and have been wondering if I'd look any good if I grew my hair longer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/short-hair-1#post-957744 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 02:21:29 +0000 Mo 957744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had the Dorothy Hamill Camel 'do in the 70's. &nbsp;Grew it out as soon as I could in middle school and never looked back. &nbsp;It's been from below my bra strap, down&nbsp;to my waist ever since. &nbsp;<br />Here is the grow out phase in 1982 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/short-hair-1#post-957728 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 02:02:50 +0000 Jaime 957728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look absolutely gorgeous in both pictures! When I had my hair cut a few months ago it was the shortest I had ever went. It has grown in a bit but is still pretty darn short. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/short-hair-1#post-957723 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 01:56:05 +0000 Nicola 957723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*laughing too*&nbsp;Honestly - what were we thinking?

Then I grew it long again.</p> <p>When I was 13, I had my hair cut short. Let's just say it's a good thing Harry Potter hadn't been invented yet because I was a dead ringer for Daniel Radcliffe in my round glasses and short hair. We took a trip to England that year, and I was mortified because everywhere people at restaurants etc would ask "what would your son like?"</p> <p>I have had it from ultra short pixie to down past the small of my back! The last time I had it short was until 2003ish, then I had an Amelie bob for a couple years, and then grew it out to lengths between shoulder and bra strap. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/short-hair-1#post-957706 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 01:35:13 +0000 Nicola 957706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine was a hideously bad "Princess Diana" cut in the early '80s, which could have looked lovely had I not been blessed with curly hair. &nbsp;There was also the time I cut it into a short bob (read: frizzy triangle). &nbsp;It's long hair always for me now.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/short-hair-1#post-957705 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 01:34:38 +0000 lyn* 957705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is the shortest mine has been while I have had this computer :p </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/short-hair-1#post-957704 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 01:32:25 +0000 velvetychocolate 957704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your hair in #1! Wow!!! You are really beautiful </p> <p>Shortest hair I ever had when was when I was about twelve or thirteen, and went off spending my allowance to get a "Lady Diana haircut" without my Mom knowing about it. She was furious, but I was thrilled:) </p> <p>Right now, my hair is getting shorter than it has been for years - it's about "collar bone" length right now. Very, very tempted to lop it all off, but haven't done so just yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/short-hair-1#post-957702 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 01:25:50 +0000 deb 957702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie posted this on FB&nbsp; today;</p> <p> "Long locks are EXTREMELY fashionable. Most fashion bloggers, fashion-y people, celebrities, magazine editors school going kids and students have long hair - of course the lengths vary. In all my almost 43 years I don't think I have ever seen long hair make as big of a fashion statement. I find it fascinating. I wonder if and when this will change?"</p> <p>I wore very short hair from 1979 until 2003. Then it was between my ear and shoulder. I am liking it long now. Here I am in 1985 and 2004.</p> <p>So, what is the shortest hair style you have ever had? </p>
