It's totally fine. Though short hair doesn't suit to every girl, just like bangs don't suit every face or same with any other haircut. But I guess it's necessary to try to know.
Also there are social expectations based on tradition and some people might not like any style outside it... so do what you like but understand you can't force those people taste to suddenly change. Just ignore. That's what my aunt has always done with my grandma (My grandma loves long hair, my aunt's have been wearing pixie cuts for years. My grandma always says my aunt's haircut is ugly, and my aunt laughs and ignores).
I'm a Muslim girl with long hair and I think it's perfectly okay for a woman to have short hair.
It's your hair do what you want with it, ignore the people who say otherwise.
My best friend has short hair- and she rocks it, and I'm sure you rock it too! ^_^
I like it when i see women with short hair or shaved, people are not used to it and they act in very funny ways, it's hilarious and I love peoples reactions.
I shave my head and have long thick beard and it drives people crazy, it's priceless. Women with short hair are badass in a good way
all right? it's cute as fuck!
you can do whatever you want with your hair, and people don't have to like it. tell them how lucky they are that it's not their hair, and go along your day.

I think so. I'm a Christian, so I've heard the idea several times. I've heard all the arguments. And most of the time, it seems like a "old testament" thing arguing for it. I dated a girl once whose church kind of promoted that idea. She cut it on occasion, but it was more about cutting it to keep it from being obnoxious to deal with. Like stepping on it, or accidentally catching it in belts or something. It was REALLY short by their church's standards, but it wasn't short at all.
I think if it works for ya, and you can rock it, best wishes. I've totally had crushes on women with "pixie cuts" and most of them were very "girly" / feminine. I doubt anyone ever mistook them for boys (common argument I've heard against keeping it short).
My aunt used to have long hair. Then she got married, and my Uncle (who, before marriage thought short hair on women was "butch" and "mannish") got sick of always dealing with all that hair, especially when it was always in rollers at night. So she decided to cut it short. And she's kept it that way for years. They both love it.
Now I'd argue certain face styles and shapes might not be able to pull it off and rock it like others could, but that's an individual thing.
Yes of course you can, why not!
On a religious standpoint though, I'm not entirely sure either. In my religion as far as I'm aware, there's supposedly a narration that suggests that a woman's hair should be long enough to at least be able to cover her chest with her hair only (if she naturally has thinning/fine/balding hair that's a different case because that's how God made her and she has no control over that). But I'm not entirely sure if this is true. I've also heard that it's apparently forbidden to cut off more than 4-fingers length of hair (like if you out four fingers together) at a time... I'm not entirely sure of that either. None of them sound credible enough for me. Yet I see religious clerics always favoring long hair for women, as long as it can be, entirely growing it out.
The only thing that I'm SURE about, is that my religion forbids cutting hair or wearing clothes, anything that resembles the opposite gender so I know that I can't have a BOY cut. But there are many girly/feminine short haircuts and I am not sure if those are allowed. I think this is the main reason religious clerics and people in religious communities discourage short hair for women and long hair for men.
I've known girls with long hair, short hair, medium length hair. And I've known guys with those hair lengths too. And while there are pre-existing gender-based norms regarding hair, these norms are being loosened up very much so in certain parts of the world, predominantly the United States. I went to Las Vegas a few years back, and in the time it took for me to exit my hotel, buy some food and go back to the hotel, I saw about a dozen people with abnormal hairstyles.
One of them was a dude with pink hair, long in the front, short in the back. There was a girl with green dreadlocks, an old man with a bald head and flame-like side burns etc.
Suffice to say, people are starting to really find their true selves. The fact that this question is even being asked shows that there's residue still left over in the wake of this transition, but some day, such questions will be seen as "ancient", or "primitive", because the obvious answer would be "yes", just like it is right now.
yes it is right for a women to have any type of hair she wants ! if she keeps it short do to her job or not having any idea on how to fix her hair then that is fine ! it depends on the women to ! I have long hair which comes down to my waist and I braid it myself ! My sister Sharron has short hair for she does not know how to do anything with her hair but comb it ! my other sister Joyce has long hair which she pins up to the back of her head like it is in a bun ! another sister Pam had long hair but I do not see her for she lives far away but as far as I know she still keeps it long ! thanks
I think it can work The girl you have in this picture is cute however for the most part I prefer girls with long hair that doesn’t mean I can’t work 100% the time but I think women who look good with short hair or more exceptions to the rule then the rule itself like I think Shirley’s Theron looks better with short hair But Kristen steward definitely fails in short hair category Natalie Portman actually didn’t look too bad with the shaved hair I prefer her with long hair but she looks good because she has a cute face i’m rambling at this point the point is it works on some doesn’t work on most
Whether you love it, hate it or are neutral to it. That doesn't make it not okay for a girl to have short hair lol. It's her choice.
Do I personally like it or personally prefer it compared to long hair? Depends on the girl. In general I prefer long hair on girls. But some girls either look better with short hairstyles or pull it off just as well. My friend Kayla rocks short hair perfectly. I've actually told her to keep it short when asking about growing it out. She just looks better that way.
Not 100% sure but I think i know why it's less acceptable for women to have short compared to men with long hair. It's men in the past had long hair. They only started cutting it at the 1800s while women didn't have to so they didn't. With men growing their hair in the 20th century, it still resembles men before 1800s while women with short hair don't resemble something. I mean it's just an opinion. Also I don't really prefer women with short hair. Tho I may sound hypocritical IDC. We all have preferences and there are women who likes long hair on men.
It is alright for them to have short hair, but I am not attracted to short hair. Unfortunately most women seem to take issue with the fact I have a preference. As long as I am not expected to pretend I am attracted to her, then I don't care what a woman does with her own life.
I think it's fine. The Bible says a woman's hair is her glory, but it also says to be modest and not put it in fancy braids. My sister cut her hair really short a couple years ago. I don't think it looked nearly as good, but I know some girls can pull it off really well. As long as they like their hair I'd say it's fine. It's her glory after all, and if she likes it short that doesn't effect me.
I don’t see why anyone should be expected to have long/short hair just because of their gender. It doesn’t play any role in how well you can fulfill your gender roles. In terms of its role in dating preferences.. you’re not going to be dating your family so I’d take their projections with a grain of salt.
I don't think any one person can be the sole judge on the way women should wear their hair. Women don't have to live by the rules of anyone. But I think women should wear the hairstyle that makes them look best. Just because you want to wear long hair, it doesn't mean you will look good in it. Some faces look prettier in short hair.
Women in short hair look pretty as well as they do in long hair. I would be fine with whatever they do aa it's their life and if one wishes to have short hair, they shouldn't worry about what others would say.
Yeah being in a religious fam does make it tough sometimes.
But it's fine to do that as girls look really pretty in short hair.
: )
From a cultural point of view, there would be no objections in my society. From a personal point of view, yes actually in fact you know that little group of women you have in your head that are absolutely stunning, more often than not for me they will have short hair.
Yeah.. It!’s just hair, do what you like but there is a big chance you will regret it. I had a pixie cut about 1 and half years ago and even tho i got good comments about it and i believe i pulles it off, i became depressed because it required a lot off effort to make it look good. However, you only live once! Go for it
In terms of personal tastes, it looks guy-ish to me and, being straight, I prefer their hairdos being longer & more feminine. It just looks better to me.
But then again, I've seen from my sisters that longer hair can take more time, effort, resources, etc. to maintain and style, than guy-level short hair requires.
Whatever, then, I guess… Their hair isn't growing on my head.
I myself had shaved my head twice before and it was fun at first, but then i started missing my hair and growing it out was such a pain.. THough i really like short hair on some women, I think it looks so aesthetically pleasing if you can pull it off.
I think people can choose whatever hairstyle they want.
The only thing I would say, is that it's important to understand that not everyone will like or find everyone's style attractive, especially if it's uncommon for a person of that race and//or gender.
Some women look good with short hair and if they are comfortable with the short hair, that's all that matters. The Bible don't dictate what hair length men and women should have. Some guys have long hair, and that's ok so why wouldn't it be ok for a woman to have short hair?
I knew a pretty girl with hairs of 1 meter long. One day, she cut them until have 5 centimeter rests. I was so sad for it.
For me, she wasn't pretty anymore.
Just why you girls cut your hair short? You have the luck to don't be bald at 60 y-o, cutting them short is like burn dollars bills because you don't know what to do with them.
I think it's this struggle who make me grew up my own hairs
It's alright for women to have short hair, but personally, I just love girls with long hair. Long, clean, strong hair is not only attractive, but it even signifies that you are healthy enough to sustain long strong strands of hair, and you are good at keeping it clean too.
