I don't know....if you ask me, I think short hair can look just as sexy and good as long, if it is the right cut on the right person. I have seen long hair on a lot of women and wanted to say to them "honey, lose it! It ain't working for you! You can lose 10 years off your face right now if you just get out from behind all that hair!"
What kind of cut did you get? Bobbed, layered, funky????
By the way, you have a GORGEOUS face so I can imagine the short cut looks beautiful on you.
