For months I've been waiting for my hair colour to grow out so I could wear my long hair down. The other day I decided to wear it down. It just emphasised how fat I was. I think it's purely a personal choice for long or short hair, and if it suits your face type. I have lots of overweight friends with short hair and they look great, and some with medium. I think for myself I need a colour and a trim.

when I was in my 20s I LOVED having short hair. I have medium length now, which I wear tied back in a pony tail most the time. I don't think I feel like one or the other looks better by body type, maybe more with the particular case(?). Whatever makes you feel attractive.

I think it depends on the complexion. IMO if I get my hair cut I tend to look fat, I Haven't cut my hair in three months and i think I look better, so...longer hair for me is best

I know for me...short hair is a mistake. I've had it a couple times. One time a few years ago...I chopped my hair and donated it to Locks Of Love...in honor of my mom. I liked my short style...it was a bob cut basically...chin length...but I'm a long hair kind of girl. Growing my hair out currently after cutting it a few months ago......My husband likes my hair long...and natural (as in no product or styling-yes he's insane lol). :P

I have longish hair and HATE it... when i was younger and a lot thinner I had really short hair, like a pixie cut type... as I started gaining weight I started letting it grow and numerous people in my life tell me that fat people just don't look right in short hair... so now I'm kind of stuck with this below the shoulders mop that I hate and it takes me forever to dry it and it makes me so hot and uncomfortable... I figure one of two things will happen... as I get thinner I will actually embrace the long hair because hopefully if I'm not as fat I won't always be so hot and uncomfortable OR, I will cut it all off, yay... Its such nonsense because I keep it tied back most of the time anyway so I don't know how thats better than having short hair lol.... ok anyway I'm kind of ranting but I love short hair and cutting my hair short is a mini motivation for my weight loss...

Well, my hair is down past my waist right now (and tends to go from long to holy-cow-that's-loooong from year to year). Looking at other women, I think that anything from collar bone length to longer looks good on heavier people. I'm not sure that a really short haircut can't look good on plump girl, but I've never seen one that did. Maybe stylists around here don't know how to deal with the different face shape as well as they should?

I had a hair dresser tell me once that hair style is all about proportion, he was right.
When I was at my heaviest I wore really short hair , which looked good if you only looked at my face, but otherwise it looked like I had a really tiny head on a Big Body.
I didn't need longer hair so much as I needed more volume, it would have better proportions for my body.
My hair is short again, but I think I want to let grow a little, maybe 2 inches.

ANY hairdresser will tell you it completely depends on your face shape. Some cuts look HORRIBLE on heavier women and I wonder what on earth they were thinking, but some of us can pull it off. I just cut 6-7 inches off mine and it looks a thousand times better. However, I have a heart shaped face, my face is slim and I have REALLY thick hair. I would ask a hairdresser.
Cut all my hair off! 6 or 7 inches gone!

You have to be careful on short hair. If you have a cut that accents a part of your face that you'd rather them not focus on then its bad. I have had long hair for as long as I can remember and in school I always wore it up till I realized I hated it that way but I wouldn't go short. So now I have mine at shoulder length with layers and it stays curly. I much prefer shoulder length rather then long or short.
It's really up to the person and how they like it.
