Short or Long in the Summer?

It's the age-old debate - short hair or long hair in the summer? If you're trying to pick your summer do and need a little help, here are the arguments for each:

Go Short!
• Hair grows faster in the summer than any other time, so you can take advantage of the quick grow-back and pick that hot short style you've been dying to try. (If you don't like it, it'll grow back pronto!)
• Short hair stays out of your way and off your neck; so you're not as hot and hassled.
• Short hair's not as heavy (long hair weighting down the head causes some people headaches, especially in the heat).
• Short styles can be really easy to keep up. Just give it a little gel and go - perfect for your summer lifestyle!

Go Long!
• Hair grows faster in the summer, so take this opportunity to keep growing yours out. Hey - if you decide you don't like it later, you could always give it to Locks of Love!
• Long hair better protects the delicate areas of your head and face like the ears, neck, etc. With a short style, these would be more susceptible to burn.
• Long hair can be pulled up in a quick ponytail or bun if you're on the run... You don't have to style if you don't want to.
• Long hair's more versatile. Braid it in the morning; leave it luscious and wavy for your evening party. Tomorrow, try curls.
