Hi everyone :-) We all post here a lot about our partners’ body type, but today the subject is hair. And what looks good on certain body types.
For the majority of my wife’s adult life, she’s had fairly long hair, with mainly a thin, straight texture to it once it grows to a certain length. She had cut it short many years ago, before we knew each other, and it brought out a much curlier texture.
I’ve always been mainly a “long hair guy” when it comes to my favorite style on her. But her decision to cut it short again recently hasn’t turned out as bad as I thought it would. Think Lily from the AT&T commercials, hairstyle-wise. It was long enough to be “present” but much easier to deal with for her. (At 330 pounds as she is, it got harder for her over time to do certain maneuvers, such as putting it up).
Recently, she’s cut it a bit shorter to where it’s poofier in the back bit crunchy due to all the goop she puts in it to accentuate her curls. She’s mentioned keeping it short forever, which is surprisingly fine with me. She’s mentioned styles that I didn’t used to think looked good on larger women, but I could even imagine her looking great with a buzzcut or just shaving her entire head and starting over. I guess it’s because I end up loving everything she tries, even if I don’t at first.
Wondering how I can encourage her to keep going wild with shorter and shorter hair without pushing too hard? I am so seriously excited at the thought of her with a short, tight buzzed ‘do or maybe just shaving it bald and see what happens :-)
You don't. You let her decide what she wants and support her. You can throw out the idea and see what she thinks. But ultimately it's up to her.
I've got natural hair. My partner likes it natural, but he loves it when I straighten and show off my length. I don't mind it straight, but it's a lot of work to get it like that. So he's fine with it being a once in a blue moon kind of thing.
On the flip side, my partner has wavy hair. He prefers to keep it high and tight, but prefer it when it gets a little long. He doesn't like it when it gets all fluffy and wavy. However, sometimes he'll wait a little while between cuts because he knows I like it.
