Do you prefer girls with long or short hair?

I usually prefer the long hair but short hair suits her just fine as well. ^^

I'm a fan of short hair myself, no real reasoning behind this as far as I know.

Short hair FTW~! But her hair looks like anime-style hair though

I like her new hairstyle.
I used to have tush-long hair, then cut it down to mid-back and then to shoulder-long... taking an hour to wash my hair and whatnot ended up to be no option for me anymore.
http://girlg33k.blogspot.com/
Mine is that long but still only takes about 5-10 minutes to wash, which is mostly just rinsing it out. It does take pretty much all day to dry, though. And a pretty long time to brush.

http://www.milkdrop.de/
Yea, though most of the time i used to use a dryer and brush, so it took a bit long.
If i let it dry by itself it took a lot less time to get out of the bathroom, but that only happens on weekends for me were i didn't have any plans. ^^;

Oh! I had to do the same =o it was so long and pretty but it just took too long to wash, condition, dry and straighten u_u~

I myself prefer girls with long hair, however if a girl having a boy-cut hair can still look pretty and feminine then she must really be gorgeous.
Student
I think the new hair looks quite nice since you don't see too many girls with short hair like that (at least hot ones).

I usually prefer girls with long hair. Though there are occasions where short hair really suits the girl like Halle Berry and that hottie off Law & Order, Alana De La Garza.
Aya got a natural beauty about her and she's cute enough to pull off a haircut like that.

I prefer long straight hair for 3D, twin tails for 2D like Haruka^^
Student and Miku Guardian
http://kyourankyodai.com
Agreed, especially about twintails for 2D girls like Hatsune Miku.. ^^
http://girlg33k.blogspot.com/
It looks like it's still being blow dried in that picture, which explains the rather Kingdom Hearts looking style.
Seeing as how I don't like girls, I don't really have a preference (though she is rather adorable). But I like MY hair, which is insanely long and will probably cover my butt before long.

She looks cute with her short hair! :3
Cool hair, looks like she has a cat ear on her right side. xD

I like both lengths of hair. Shorter hair tops it though, something about short hair I love. If we're talking about colour though red beats all.

long straight black hair for me... why did she have to do the opposite? ;_; meh, color is secondary, but medium long/long is key for me
I like both short and long. Some girls look really good with short hair and some with long hair. Who knows why?
Student
I don't like :(
She still looks cute but... longer hair is WAY better.

While I do prefer long hair, this spunky, short style works for her.
Hetalayer
Long or short, I don't really mind, I like them both, but I loooove short hair a lot more. Probably because yes, it does look refreshing.
It's killer to take care of long hair, I never had my hair past my shoulders due to how angry I would get at it. My hair right now is a little shorter than Aya's, but I'm gonna grow it out so I can cut it like hers!! <33
Because she's just so cute and adorable~

I first cut my hair short at 13, and as of now I'm so used to short/mid-length haircuts it feels strangely heavy when it grows past shoulder length...

I liked her when she had long brown hair with bangs.

i like her look. you see more of her face instead of all that hair.
i myself, have short hair, and i like it, so there.

She look much much better with long black hair, and somewhat decent for short black hair. Not really too fond of her dyed hair.

Yeah. Agree with you there. She doesn't really look like herself with her hair dyed.
i'm fine with anything

Girls with long hair or short hair really doesn't make that much a difference. Aya looks good with her hair short like that.

I think she looks better than she ever has. But I'm sure she will keep changing her look, as she has several times over the past couple of years. On the Top Runner interview (see my blog) she looked and sounded like the young adult she is (age 20), rather than a teen.

Really depends on the person. I like to see girls with long hair, but once in a while the short hair is refreshing too. I want to have long hair myself, but it's just too anoying to manage and it gets pretty hot in the summer. Putting hair up is sometimes better than letting down long hair on people with bigger faces.
