Women and Short Hair? A brave or insane man’s opinion.

Ronovan Opinion Articles, , ,

How do men like it on their women, up or down, long or short?

 

You ask 100 men and you won’t get a unanimous agreement. Even if you asked 10 you might not get it. Let me say one thing up front; it doesn’t matter what men like, ladies. As long as you like it and it makes you feel happy and beautiful then go with it. You feel beautiful then that beauty will shine through.

 

The reason for this article was the result of a conversation recently when a lady asked what do men like and why. Me being me and Ronovan being one who Writes, I decided to write. Yes, that’s what my site title means; I write and I write anything and everything in any style. Now let’s get on with the hair tips from Mr. Van Van Man. Yeah, that’s me. Deal with it! Around the World Snap and in a Z formation! Yes, hair tips, what did you think I was talking about? I’ll turn away while that blush of yours goes away. I promise not to peek.

 

Oh, honey, you still blushing? Well fan yourself or something. We got to get on with this. No, stop looking at my picture it just makes it worse. Just saying.

 

Up Down Up Down Up Down: How do men like it?

by: Ronovan

Most men like long hair to some extent and we like the ponytail at times. Really what I want to look at today is short hair and what works. I picked two celebrities today. I have two more in mind for another day if people like this article or if I just feel so inclined to do it.

Sinead O’Connor

Let’s make it simple. It all depends on the woman and what makes her look good. Some guys say they like long hair, or at least not really short hair as in like Sinead O’Connor. Personally, the ‘Nothing Compares To You’ Sinead was beautiful. Pardon my saying this but back then I was a teenager. I waited for this video to come on MTV, back when it really was about music videos. Just think all in black, simple, and all you really see is this beautiful woman.

 

Here’s the honest part of this. Sinead at that point made it so you didn’t even notice her short hair. She made a statement back during a time of show what you got. She showed what she had, talent. And that combined with the focus on her facial features was a perfect combination. Even today just looking at the image you see beauty but not a model doing a photo shoot.

 

What would make this not work? Have her in a dress with a plunging neck line. Her face shape in this photo wouldn’t support that look. At least not in my opinion. She has a softer line to her face that I just don’t see working that way. There are photos of her elsewhere that show her face a little less soft and she could pull it off, but not for this video.

Now let’s look at Alyssa Milano.

Truth time here. She is one of my all time most beautiful women ever. I don’t like the style here. Yes she looks good with short hair but this particular picture and style doesn’t work for me. The only way she gets away with it is because of who she is. Even with her eyes, which we all know I am fond of brown eyes, it’s hard to not see the forehead here. If you go bangs that short then you need to just put some product in and style it up.

 

What I think is happening here is that she’s in that awkward in-between length.  You can almost see that the lengths aren’t quite right for the shape of her head. She has a great face shape for short hair and bone structure. The problem could even be the earrings. They are adding length in the wrong place. Just take your fingers and cover up the earrings and see what I mean. No earrings and the hair almost works. Fact is; she is still gorgeous! Sorry, I geeked a little there.

Alyssa Milano Short Hair

I know some of you are saying “Ronovan, you crazy. That is hot.” Okay, she’s amazing, but that bangs thing is just making my Migraine shout at me to scroll down and type something else.

 

Okay, fine, here you go. See same basic length but with a bit of color change and better styling. The earrings are much simpler, great improvement. Also the smile doesn’t hurt. And it’s not just about the smile itself. By smiling she added just a touch bit of length to her face and that makes it all work perfectly together. Now she’s got me. Yeah, like she didn’t before, right? Ahem.

Alyssa Milano Short Hair Nice

 

If the style is done right and it looks right for the woman’s bone structure, neck length, shoulders and body type, then I’m good. I could have used different people as examples but I thought Sinead was an obvious choice for short hair. Alyssa Milano was a good one here for showing how just a little change makes a difference with the short hair.

 

Do we like hair up or down? Yes. I had to say that because we like it either way. For me, wear it how it’s comfortable. Visually the hair can be a picture frame or an accessory for the face. Some faces may need the frame if they are wanting to look their best, some don’t so much.

 

Do all men think about it this way? Doubtful, but it may just be something that is a natural thing the eye and mind do without our knowing. I like art and to me a woman is art. I look and notice the details.

 

But truthfully if  a woman feels beautiful it comes through no matter what she wears or how her hair looks.

 

At least that’s my opinion.

  1. The title gave me a gazillion ideas in my head but let’s not go there( I’m not blushing but not looking you in the eyes either).
    Hmm nice to know the male perspective. However, I do think most men do like it long. To play with you know.
    It has to do with what suits your face cut. I would look so weird with short hair but Kiera knightley looks just fine. It depends on what look can you pull off. Example: Britney going bald. Natalie Portman going bald.

  2. When I started reading something else was running in my mind 😀
    But as scrolled down further I realized it’s all about women 🙂
    I always believed if you are feeling comfortable then you are good to go…but its sad most of the women don’t think like that…they are always nervous and worried about their looks and I guess men are never bothered…if they love you they will love you in your Sexy Avatar also and Plain Jane Avatar too…Interesting Post…I enjoyed reading it 🙂

        • Well I finally figured out why I called my site Ronovan Writes. It’s because I write anything and everything in every style. Some people will like and some they won’t. Some even have stopped following after I stopped my angry and painful poetry for a while.

          But I write what happens to fall out of my mind and onto the page.

          🙂

  3. Ron, you’re so funny. Thank you! So many men that I talk to prefer long hair AND ask me if I’m growing mine. Which I am currently but not for them. The last time a guy asked I showed him a ton of pictures of my hair at different lengths (super short, shaved on one side, pink on the bottom, and super long) to prove that I can rock all lengths. Which I’m lucky I can. But this men like long hair and women are scared of cutting it thing drives me crazy.. As you said if a women is happy that shows, and it depends on them and their facial structure what hair they can rock.

  5. I cut mine short around my 40th birthday and never went back to long hair. I even made a post on my blog about that “The new me”. Honestly I think “long” or “short” has a lot to do with the age as well. I am 50 years young and I just don’t have the time anymore to spend hours in the bathroom taking care of long hair that won’t cover up the wrinkles anyway 🙂 My personal opinion -and I will take the beating for it- an older woman (45+) just doesn’t look good with long hair.

    • oooooo What you said….ooooooo 🙂 I love that some women do go through the trouble it takes to deal with the long hair. But in truth, I wouldn’t blame everyone of them if they cut it short. It is a lot easier to manage.

  6. Personally I like to keep my hair as short as I can manage it. So, I’m not one to wear hair extensions either. I have, in the past, just taken the hair clippers to it also. At the time, it was my boyfriend who happily provided his services to maintain my hair at perhaps one centimeter at its longest part, with the back and sides shaved off. I looked like a runway model (tall and very slim) back then…or a boy, depending on who you asked 🙂

    It’s always been the really shallow guys or women who made a fuss about the length of my hair, but since I’m the one wearing it, I haven’t really cared for their opinions. My teenage daughter cringes and complains whenever she sees me with a pair of scissors in the bathroom cutting off another inch of hair. My husband doesn’t care how I wear it, as long as it’s properly kept, I suppose. They are only dead cells, after all 🙂

    • Love it. And love the gravatar picture. you wear the little hair well. 🙂 I think that came out sounding right. And apparently you’ve done okay, you did say you have a husband and a teenage daughter. 🙂

      A woman looks better when she feels comfortable inside her own skin and under her own hair. 🙂 Just something more confident and relaxed about her.

  7. The statement if a woman feels beautiful it comes through etc is the most important part of everything you wrote and so true. Those woman were beautiful but we don’t all have that amazing bone structure but heck beauty is from within and what is beautiful to one is not for another hence we all are wonderfully different x

    • The article was originally ended to be a bit of humor but then it hit me what it was really about. I couldn’t avoid my inner diva shining through at times, but I wanted to make it clear what my real thoughts were on the subject. Women rock no matter what the hair and men just should count themselves luck that God put them on the planet at all.
