[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ha, I think I did get the mom bob after my first DC (modeled on Katie Holmes bob - why isn't she featured in the link? :))  I have since grown it out again, partially through laziness and failure to get to the salon frequently, but apparently my DH is the "no man ever" because he keeps asking if I'll cut it short again!  I think I'm going to compromise on some sort of long-layered "lob."[/quote]

Man again. Short hair can look great. The problem is that it requires work to look great. So DW has a mommy bob and when she gets it cut it actually looks pretty good. But within a day or so it looks frumpy again because she doesn't really do with it what she's supposed to.

Also, too many times when women move from long hair to short hair they don't dive in and do it all at once with an actual short hairstyle. No, they timidly take a little off, then some more, then a little shorter, until what they have is not an actual hairstyle, but simply a long hairstyle cut short. It's that strait one length hair that stops above the shoulder. It's awful, ladies.[/quote]

Okay, but the truth is still that most men prefer long hair.  I am a mom, just turned 50 and I have a very short haircut.  It looks great on me (much better than long hair).  Now that I am single again, I am considering growing the hair out.  I don't have a problem attracting guys, but I would say 75% of them eventually ask me if I would consider growing my hair out for them.

The truth is that the mom bobs pictured in the link above take WAY MORE WORK than long hair or short hair.  Those chin length bobs require more styling than longer hair or easy short cuts.  They also require really frequent cuts to keep the layers and the edges cleaned up and nice looking.

My short hair is easy, I can style it in 5 minutes.  I can hit the gym and not worry about having to blow out my hair for 30 minutes after a shower.  Every day or two, some random guy will tell me how nice it looks -- but I also get comments from guys about letting it grow out and be "more feminine".  Ugh.[/quote]
