Long haircut would be better for you if..
Provided you're at peace with your hair's texture -- that is, you don't spend hours blow-drying or curling -- long locks can look great even when you don't have time to do more than shampoo and condition. And if your hair doesn't dry to your liking, you can always tie it back.
Have particularly pretty hair.
"Bad, nasty hair worn long is unattractive, period," says star stylist Danilo, echoing a sentiment shared by all the stylists interviewed for this story.
Have thick curls.
"This type is definitely sexier longer," says Hershberger. "The weight actually keeps it from puffing out," adds Lorraine Massey, co-owner of NYC's Devachan salon.
Have strong features -- or a big body.
"Long hair softens a strong jawline and diminishes facial roundness," says Blandi. Similarly, long hair balances out your proportions if you're tall or big-boned (think Gabrielle Reece and Brooke Shields).
Want to look younger.
Because women tend to go progressively shorter as they grow older, Oribe advises his 30- to 50-year-old clients to keep their hair on the longish side -- at least around shoulder-length, which is universally flattering. "Why do what everyone else is doing and end up looking like an old lady before your time?" Keep in mind that if your hair quality isn't what it used to be, this advice may not hold true for you.
