    What kind of hair do you prefer (colour and style)?
    And girls, how often, if at all, do you straighten/curl your hair?
    This is just for fun...since my username has brunette in it, I feel the need to start a hair thread

    Long, layers (not really short layers though), wavy and brown.
    Always wanted to get a short haircut, but I just do not have the guts! I feel like i'd end up regretting it too much
    Can hardly ever be bothered to straighten/curl my hair anymore so just end up tying it up -.-

    Fairly longish, with waves... My natural colour (black) is okay for me.
    Used to have very short hair when I was younger and I despised it :/
    I like layers too but often when I get them redone I don't like my hair for the first couple of weeks. I don't straighten or curl m hair at all... Seems to work on its own. If it looks uneven, I just put some water on it and it dries okay or I clip the stupid looking sections back

    Really depends on the person's face, but for me I prefer long hair in a red colour. At the moment I'm a mahogany shade and I love it, there's even purple tones popping in from where I had pink and purple hair before dying. I love really unnatural shades but find them so time-consuming to maintain that I've gone for a more natural colour now.

    I straighten when I feel like my hair is a complete mess or I just want to look more polished, but as my hair is relatively straight anyway I don't see the point most days. I never ever curl it, and always (and I do mean always) have it down in public.

    Long flowing brunette hair is my personal favourite. I don't like it when women have shorter hair than me.

    But I think short hair looks better than super long hair that is not taken care of/dry and frizzy

    Wow, bold colour choices there
    And, about the straightening part - me too although my hair is wavyish

    Haha me too I had short hair and I hated it
    The water thing works? I've seen some people do it and I thought it just made their hair super frizzy

    I've had long hair for a while. I'm mixed race so my hair's naturally curly but I normally straighten it. I like to try out different styles/ looks from time to time & have decided to get it cut short. I'm thinking of dyeing it a dark red colour as well

    It was my mother's fault, she loved it then but even now when we looks at pictures, she's like 'I'm really sorry I made you have your hair like that'.

    I've never had frizzy hair, and my hair is naturally kinda... Wavy, so when I put water on it, it just kinda resets it, I guess? It's never made it frizzy :/

    I'm like the OP, I really like short hairstyles on other people, but I could never do it to myself, i'm too scared

    and I only straighten my hair maybe once a week? I like to let it dry natural when I can
