Over the years, I've had my hair in all kinds of styles and lengths. Last summer, I decided to cut it shorter, as it was getting too hot and heavy, and I've kept it in a chin-length bob ever since. Here are eight reasons to opt for a shorter style.

Unless you have a very complicated cut that needs a lot of styling, shorter hair is definitely more practical. It's quick to wash and dry — in summer, mine takes no time at all to dry.

Long hair in summer — not comfortable! Invariably you end up pulling it into a ponytail or bun, because it's just too hot. Shorter hair is much cooler.
You might like long hair, but does it like you? I loved having mine long, but since I'm not very tall, having it chin length does look more in proportion. Some girls just look fantastic with shorter styles.
Not everyone can grow their hair long — sometimes it looks in poor condition if you try. If that is the case, you're better off with a shorter style

Young people today all look the same to me. Seriously (and I'm not that old). All girls in their 20's seem to have the same poker-straight extensions. A shorter style will make you stand out.
We've all heard of women getting their hair cut after a break-up. Sometimes they kept it long because their boyfriend liked it that way, and now they do what they want with it. You should always have the style that YOU want (as long as it suits you).

Are mornings a bit of a rush? Or do you just dislike spending a lot of time drying and styling your hair? In this case, going for the chop makes sense, as it will save you a lot of time.
If you feel like trying something new with your hair, why not go for it? You can always grow it again later if you want another change (obviously that's not quite as quick!).
So ... what do you think of shorter vs. long? Would you never cut your hair? Or do you find long hair too annoying?
