Long hair is classic beauty...

Short hair is daring but for classic long hair is a timeless beauty. I always have better compliments from my friends with my long hair. Short hair is easy to manage but for long hair, you will need to trim the end regularly. In my opinion, you could look chic/smart/cool with different updo and just let it loose in lazy day. But remember, keep your hair healty to have lusty look. Should we say it is an instant glamorous?...
