Long Hair for a Petite Woman
A: It's very difficult to make suggestions for hairstyles without seeing the person in question and having a lot more information than is usually provided in questions like these. Nevertheless, there are some tips that can help you in making a decision.
However, "long hair" is a relative term. If a person's hair is 12 inches long, and she is 5'10", the hair will probably hang to a point at the top of her shoulders. Yet, if a woman who is 5 feet even has hair 12 inches long, her hair probably hangs down between her shoulder blades. You have to keep in mind that a flattering hairstyle is all about balance.
For you, at 5-foot tall, a hairstyle that falls just above the shoulders will still look long, but won't make you appear shorter than you really are. Just as with everything else for a woman who is petite, you have to think of your hair length in shorter increments. Losing or gaining 3 inches of hair growth is a more significant change for you than it is for someone who is 10 inches taller.
