re: Why young women stop wearing short hair cuts like back in the 90s and early 00s?

I am a Gen X woman who has short hair. I cut it short over 20 years ago when I was in the Army and got headaches from wearing it in a tight bun every day. My husband at the time hated it so I eventually grew it out for him but after divorce cut it short again because I prefer it that way.

The majority of American men hate short hair on women but there are guys who love it and the ones who love it REALLY love it. I have had men follow me around the grocery store, Academy, and at work complimenting me on my short hair. I have found the men I am in relationships with when I have short hair work out better for me. So it is a win win. I have a cut that works for me, and it immediately weeds out the guys who I wouldn't be compatible with anyway.

In regard to the OP question, I agree with the other poster who said young women today are not confident enough to be different never mind cut their hair short. It is not just length. They all have the same exact style. My daughter is in her 20s and she and her friends and co-workers all have the same bleached blonde beach waves. Back in the 80s my friends and I all had different hair styles, shades and changed our hair frequently. Girls today all want to look the same.

Because it's ugly as hell

Some women look great with short hair, and wear it well. A slender brunette with short black hair with heels and a short skirt, yes.
