[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder what kind of short haircut you all are imagining when you say it’s high maintenance?

My hair is a pixie like Mia Farrow wore in the 70s. It takes 1 minute to wash and 1 minute to dry and 1 minute to apply some bed head type product to give it some volume/lift and I usually leave it spiky.

My very short hair takes less time to wash dry and style than it has at any other length over my lifetime. And I’m finally at that place in my life where I know I’m freaking gorgeous and amazing so I [b]feel totally confident in it.[/b][/quote]

That’s it.  Short hair requires confidence which many women don’t have.[/quote]

For me it's being realistic: I do not have delicate features at all. I need some hair to balance that out. You can't fault people for trying to make the most out of their look. Why would someone knowingly get a haircut that will make them look worse?[/quote]

Because “worse” is subjective.  I am Gen X, and I remember when the skinny jeans were only for the super skinny ones as they were thought to create “the dreaded ice cream cone look” for anyone who had even a hint of hips; boot cuts were thought to “balance out” the hips.  Fast forward, and the cone suddenly became “flattering”, and some Millennials are still afraid that an extra inch of fabric will make them look fat.  Same with the haircuts - short hair used to make you look “young”, then long hair made you look “young”, but really face lifts make you look “young”.[/quote]

I don't agree. I don't do trendy anything specifically because I know myself and what looks good on me. It happens to include short hair being a definite no. I could not feel confident with short hair because I would look bad with short hair, that's all. It's great if it works on someone else.[/quote]
