Hair style poll: Long or short?

Published

My nursing program requires that your hair be off your neck, and i was wondering, if anyone- is going to/did chop off or grow out their hair for school?

I have med-lenghth hair now, and i'm really considering growing it out so that i can sweep it up in a pony-tail? How-ever i keep wondering it would just be easier to keep it short :confused:

What do you all think? :D

Short! I've had mine short for a year now & am very happy with it. It takes no time to blow dry & all I do to style it is run my fingers through it with some goop. A quick spritz of hairspray & viola! It's done! I wouldn't go back to long hair again...takes too long to dry in the mornings & just doesn't look as good on me.

I just got a new cut and it is much shorter than before! lol I plan on keeping it this length for a very long time! No fussing...just shower and go!!

My hair is just long enough to pull back in a tiny little ponytail. I've had it really short before, and thought about getting it cut that way again, but I think I'm going to grow it out a bit more.

seems like once ppl go short they never go back! It also depends on who's cut your hair.

I'm like Rn..1973, I have very thick hair and the best way to thin it out is a short hair cut. I also don't have to style it every day and when I do it takes 10 min!

Mine is pretty short, and I think short haircuts on women are usually really cute!

My hair is REALLY fine and REALLY straight but I have a LOT of it, so when it's long it just looks like a limp dishrag, when it's shorter it's not so heavy and looks a little fuller. Plus it's just more fun! :)

I wear mine up in a pony-tail, which I hate, but unless I want to cut it off what else can I do??

I have short hair as well..it's VERY low maintenance. Wash, dry...no styling or chemicals. I have had short hair for 9 years.

my hair is mid-length past my shoulders and our hair isn't supposed to hang past our shirt collars in uniform. i don't plan on cutting it because i need to be able to put it in a ponytail. i'm already rushed in getting ready for school, so i can't afford the extra time to fight with my hair.

I have to pull mine back in a ponytail for clinicals...I wish I could just have short hair but I just don't have the right face shape for it.:o

Mid back/bra here. I don't have to wear my hair off my collar,work in an urgent care/ER. I usually wear it down and behind my ears. I usually have a band around my wrist or in my pocket for codes. Too many years in the service to cut it I guess!

My hair is longish (a little past shoulder length) and thankfully, I finally stopped cutting layers into it and let it all grow out to one length. What a labor-saver that is.......just gather all of it into a scrunchy or a big clasp, and I'm done. I don't care if some people think the style is too "young" for me---I'm not ready to cut my hair short, and layers are nothing but a huge PITA.
