Oh man, prepare for some serious lulz - I've been rocking short hair for years now, cuz it was just such a nightmare to deal with when I had it "long" (never got it past shoulder length); it's just so wavy and poofy, one friend of mine called it "mom hair", which I think is soberingly accurate...get ready for it:
And actually, the year after (freshman year in college) I had it even longer, and got it to look good exactly 1 time, conveniently for a show (I won't embed the massive pic and totally dominate the thread, so here's a
link) - but yeah, can't stress enough how 9 times out of 10 it looked like wavy poofy crap and I just always had a hat on; since '06 it's been short the whole time!
