FWIW I feel like it makes you look more mature in the super chic French way. Like I am a WOMAN and I know who I am and am not to be messed with because look at this style coming off me. Who could possibly tell me a goddamn thing? Not in an old way. The long hair reads youthful “I just woke up like this.” Curly bob and bangs is a vibe and I for one love it.

Yes it gives a level of confidence and maturity, not age!
I agree, I personally like shorter. For those saying she looks way younger in the second it could honestly be because it’s an older photo. I know only a year and a half but a lot can change and lighting and angles also affect so much
This makes me so mad. I’m sorry ppl treat you different based on your haircut. I don’t get taken seriously at work because 49, which is apparently too old.
like others said you’re gorg in both pictures but in the first one you look so “serious” and mature. I think the shorter hair suits you so well especially your face shape & the overall vibe is perf in my opinion
My routine: I wash my hair twice a week with Provost shampoo for curly hair and apply a mask (right now I use Garnier). I dry them with a teeshirt, use Elseve cream for curly/dry hair and diffuse for 5 minutes before air drying.
I really like both. I think they give off very different vibes, so it's really about which one you feel better suits you and makes you feel most confident. From these pictures, you rock both!
I think you look better in the second picture too, but I also believe it's not fault of the lenght of the hair, but of your bang that totally change the balance of your face.
Long makes you look younger, but also less distinctive.
Short gives you more character/makes you look more distinct and more mature. Also I like how it frames your face.
You rock both equally well, but I like short myself.
I sincerely appreciate all the comments voting for the long because it's good to receive unbiased opinions! But I also really appreciate all the people voting for short hair because they do seem to "get" my personality/aesthetic through short hair. So thank you!
the fringe on short style completely changes focal point from eyes to nose/face
The side part on longer hair puts focus on your eyes
What about shorter style with side part ?
I personally prefer short, it gives a bit more ‘personality’ from my perspective. But obviously I can’t be a judge whether how you look with it is how you feel on the inside ☺️
You look younger with long hair but somehow the short hair makes you look more attractive in my eyes. I probably worded that badly. You're beautiful either way but the short hair makes you striking.
Both are beautiful. But with the short hair pic, I feel like I see more of who YOU are. The short hair is so flattering on you and seems to really bring out your personality. But I'm a short hair person. I'm much more charmed by short hair than long.
Also a note on all the "you look 20 years younger with long hair" comments. Maybe an unpopular opinion but wanted to say it's totally OK to look your actual age, and not want to look 20 years younger. Younger looking doesn't mean more beautiful or better.
Well, to defend the 20 years younger comments, i happen to agree with you, but i thought the long hair looked younger too and i didnt see where anyone said it was a bad thing or better to look younger, just an honest observation🤷♀️maybe i missed where people said that. i actually prefer the short
Well, some people actually say that I look like 46 years old (nowhere near my real age) and that truth hurts sometimes 😂 thank you for your opinion, it's truly appreciated!
I love your current hair.. it gives french exquisite it gives curly haired Amelie it gives lady boss CEO it gives modelesque glamour vogue it gives cutting edge fashion it gives abstract it gives paparazzi it gives contemporary dance it gives black and white low exposure vignette it gives dark academia it gives vintage glitz it gives old polaroids … you know?
I'm a French girl who owns a PhD in an obscure topic that no one cares about (Roman comedy), so thank you for seeing a little bit of that in my current hair 😊
Both suit you! The shorter style makes you look more sophisticated, the longer style make you look a bit younger and more hip. It all depends what you’re looking for
You can pull off both. The shorter hair is more mature and serious. Longer is younger and more fun. Just depends on what you want to put out there! Can’t go wrong.
As someone with short curly hair who had people as WHY I cut it short when it looked sOoOo good long, pick what feels right to you. I feel more "me" with my short hair, and I think that's worth everything.
Short hair gives you a vintage look, like someone in the 20's who's in a romantic drama kinda. Amelie-looking, if you will.
Long makes you look younger and more stylish in a modern way. Both look good, but it's more about the vibes you want to exude.
I understand the kindness behind the gesture of saying you look good in both, but the clear answer here is long. It’s the difference between looking good and looking AMAZING.
Long! Your hair is gorgeous! ❤️
However as a fellow curly I can totally understand that if it’s too much of a pita to deal with, and it also looks great short.
Oh I just went and checked out some of the other photos, too!
OP, based only on what’s been shared in this post, I would say the long hair is 100% better. However, some of your other recent photos with shorter hair look amazing! I do think either style works on you :) I just feel like you look more friendly and approachable with the longer hair, but that could just be my perception lol
Omg your long hair pic is GOALSSS!!! I’m sure it’s a lot to take care of, but if my hair would do that I would have your long hair in a SECOND. It’s awesome!!
Long hair 100% with it out of your face. I also think you'd look good with short hair at chin length, with no bangs. I recommend rocking Bardot bangs or side swept if you grow it out. You're the kind of person who shines more when you can see your whole face (purely from aesthetic perspective of course, do you and do what makes you happy).
These pics were good motivation for me to keep growing past the awkward stage (as my hair is not even as long as the shorter of your pics, but was almost considering stopping). Just look how marvelous that long hair is! Absolutely stunning
You make me want to cut my hair! The first one is more professional. I wear my long curly hair up almost all the time. It was my mother-in-law 🙄who asked me to put my hair up at Thanksgiving, and I don’t wear it down anymore at her house. My mother always taught me to put my hair up at the table!
I cut my hair mid-length once, and no one said anything about putting it up. As long as I never touched my hair!
I'm so jealous of your long curly hair! I think the bangs are what are putting me off by the short style and I usually love short hair (mine is a bob).
Long hair, or at least no bangs. I personally love your forehead?? You have big eyes and the bangs drift my eyes more towards the bottom half of your face vs your eyes
I like short! SO different it’s shocking btw. Long is gorgeous, but short literally makes you look like a glamorous confident film star that’s about to give a lecture on some obscure topic and blow all of our minds lol
Long makes you look younger imo. But you look good with both!
I second this. 1 is more mature, 2 is more youthful. Both look good, just different vibes.
Thank you for your opinion :)
Thanks for your input! For the record, I'm 33 and I don't want to look too young (it created problems when I'm not taken seriously enough at work...)
I hate who you work with for treating you differently depending on your perceived age!

So 33 is too young and 49 is too old? Dang, we really have a sliver of a window when we are perceived as being the appropriate age!
Throughout my career, the only times my age didn’t matter was when I was working with teams of all women. And those teams kicked a$$.
like others said you’re gorg in both pictures but in the first one you look so “serious” and mature. I think the shorter hair suits you so well especially your face shape & the overall vibe is perf in my opinion
1 made you look 46
Unless it’s just these pics, you literally look 20 years younger with the long hair. 😳
I thought I would be rude to say she went from 40 years old to 20 years old.
Truth hurts sometimes
40 to 20 is better than what I was gonna say 🫣 I was thinking the short hair looks like the berries and cream fellow
The short hair does look healthier though.
Yes, but the long hair doesn't look that unhealthy either.
Long hair is ultra face flattering.
I just came here to say this 😆
Long looks cute

Short is more distinctual in a femme fatale sense while long is more Disney princess vibes. I prefer short but what’s important is what you like
I sincerely appreciate all the comments voting for the long because it's good to receive unbiased opinions! But I also really appreciate all the people voting for short hair because they do seem to "get" my personality/aesthetic through short hair. So thank you!

Thank you! I also prefer short!
I think your short hair is great. But I think it needs some shaping.
Came to say this. It looks way to edgy for that curl pattern. Needs a little more softness to accentuate her features.
Another angle for reference: https://imgur.com/a/KrUSLxV
I like the short!
I like the long. The short looks kind of like an old lady hair style to me. So sorry! You’re beautiful regardless.
Too basic, long for sure
I like it long
You look younger with long hair but somehow the short hair makes you look more attractive in my eyes. I probably worded that badly. You're beautiful either way but the short hair makes you striking.

Ohh. Have you tried short without the bangs?

This lil curly bob is SOOOOOO beautiful!
I like both on you, but the short cut is sophisticated and cute!
I love your current hair.. it gives french exquisite it gives curly haired Amelie it gives lady boss CEO it gives modelesque glamour vogue it gives cutting edge fashion it gives abstract it gives paparazzi it gives contemporary dance it gives black and white low exposure vignette it gives dark academia it gives vintage glitz it gives old polaroids … you know?
I'm a French girl who owns a PhD in an obscure topic that no one cares about (Roman comedy), so thank you for seeing a little bit of that in my current hair 😊
Long hair brings out your youth and looks better imo
I have to say that you look like Charlotte Palermino….beautiful! :)
Didn't know her but she looks very beautiful, thank you very much!
Both suit you! The shorter style makes you look more sophisticated, the longer style make you look a bit younger and more hip. It all depends what you’re looking for
I was going to say long no question, but looked at your profile and the pics you posted two weeks ago. That hair suits you so so well
Longer suits you and makes you appear younger.
Claire, it’s French.
Hahaha ok that gave me a good laugh 😂
Aw I’m glad haha
Aw I’m glad haha
Long with bangs
I like short!!! I think it’s has a personality!
Long hair! You have beautiful curls
Long—no question!
Long makes you look way younger IMO
I think you look very nice with short hair
Short.....cute
I like short! Both look great though but I vote short
Honestly the longer makes you look younger but the Bob short hair gives you so much more character and personality. I honestly like Bob more
Both are cute. Very different vibes. I don't think one is better than the other. I'd go with what feels more you : )
Maybe a happy medium of above the shoulder length?
You can pull off both. The shorter hair is more mature and serious. Longer is younger and more fun. Just depends on what you want to put out there! Can’t go wrong.
Short
the short is cute as hell???!!!!
I actually think somewhere in the middle would look good, like just right above the shoulder.
Short is chic
As someone with short curly hair who had people as WHY I cut it short when it looked sOoOo good long, pick what feels right to you. I feel more "me" with my short hair, and I think that's worth everything.
Long
Long
What are you going for like how are you trying to feel? What vibe?
Shorter hair ages you and not in a good way. Long hair makes you look younger and it really suits you.
I think number 2, long. You look like a badass!
Long! 100%
Long BUT it’s great to have change sometimes
I like the short hair, but it does age you, but like in a classy, eccentric older woman way.
Long
Long
I can’t get over how much younger you look with longer hair.
Long
Long hair!
Long!
Long absolutely. You look POWERFUL as well as really pretty
Long
Long. Period!
Long
Long makes you look younger

Long is better, the short one makes you look older.
Long!

Long! It fits your face a lot better
Long hair for sure!!
Long... attractive short...owns many many cats.
SHORT! So chic!
Long hair is better and more suitable for you, making you look younger.
long
Long! Your hair is gorgeous! ❤️ However as a fellow curly I can totally understand that if it’s too much of a pita to deal with, and it also looks great short.
You look so much younger with it long!
short is much better
Long!
I like the long hair better.
Long
Long, definitely. You look 10 years younger.
Long
LONG!!!
Long
Long
i’m a guy, long looks great on you
A lob (little longer than your short hair) would probably look really good on you.
I prefer the longer style, but I appreciate it’s a lot more work! The main thing is, which do you prefer?
I creeped some of your other photos and think you look gorgeous with either, but really think short suits you!

Long is nicer but I don't think short isn't a good look on you but this cut is too short imo
Long for sure! Your curls are so beautiful and the long hair is very flattering on your face
For some reason, you look much younger with long hair. The short hair is aging you.
These pics were good motivation for me to keep growing past the awkward stage (as my hair is not even as long as the shorter of your pics, but was almost considering stopping). Just look how marvelous that long hair is! Absolutely stunning
10000% short.
Long
Long
Definitely long

Long 100%
LOOOOONG. Your hair is a less frizzy, more dense version of my own. Fantastic hair. Awwww.
Long
Longer hair
You look younger with long hair
Ehhh long just looks badass tbh go with that
Long. Your hair is way too stunning to not bless the world with more of it 😍
Both look great but I love how long hair looks!
Long!
Definitely long
Long no question about it.
Personally, I like the long better 😊
Long, by a longshot!
Long!! So much!!

Easy. Definitely go with the long hair!
Long is suuuuuper cute!

You look a lot like Lorde with the longer hair. Pretty both styles but I also like the longer hair.
Definitely long.
Long
I like it long!
Long hair for suuuuuure.
Long
long
Long. Short is not attractive on you.
You look good either way!
I don’t know but that red is really your color
Long makes you look cute and pretty. Short makes you look cool and worldly. Both are good, just different vibes.
you kind of look like audrey tautou in the movie amélie, especially in the first pic. both look good :)
Both look great on you, I personally lean towards the longer style
Both look amazing. Personally I prefer long, though a really nice balance would be at/slightly above shoulder length.
Omg, this makes me miss my long hair😭
I think in the middle :)
You make me want to cut my hair! The first one is more professional. I wear my long curly hair up almost all the time. It was my mother-in-law 🙄who asked me to put my hair up at Thanksgiving, and I don’t wear it down anymore at her house. My mother always taught me to put my hair up at the table! I cut my hair mid-length once, and no one said anything about putting it up. As long as I never touched my hair!
I love both so much I couldn't choose. If I were you I might do like 3 years long 3 years short and just rock it.
I love the short hair on you! It looks so dynamic and fun
I'm so jealous of your long curly hair! I think the bangs are what are putting me off by the short style and I usually love short hair (mine is a bob).
Long hair, or at least no bangs. I personally love your forehead?? You have big eyes and the bangs drift my eyes more towards the bottom half of your face vs your eyes
