Long or short hair?

People always complain that I hardly change my hairstyle. It's usually long weaves parted in the middle, the side or all back. So I decided to do something different for a change. I did something that I usually don’t do…a short hairstyle.

I usually avoid short hairstyles because I feel it makes me look like a beautiful boy instead of a pretty lady…but judge for yourself…how do I look in short hair?


This is me in my usual long center-parting hairstyle (at the future awards, that's my lil sis Sandra behind me)
I'm hot huh? I’m an ex-top model, what do you expect? Lol


Now here I am in a short hairstyle...
(This picture was taken today in my office)

What do you guys think? Short or long hair?

Photos of the day
I have a four room office space somewhere in surulere. My guys share three rooms, I have one to myself ;)
Check me out in my office…


No, I wasn’t blogging. I usually do that at home...lol


Getting some work done.
Getting some work done indeed! How can you do that when there's a camera in front of you ;)
Just posing for the camera...lol


On the phone with Soundcity’s Bee.


Hey y’all…
That's my white H&M bag on the floor. This one no be dash o, I buy am myself...lol

So what's your verdict? Please tell me to stick to my long weaves...lol

Definitely prefer the shorter do. It exaggerates your beauty, make you look younger, and very chic.

Really like your long hair. I do think that with the short cut, if you spiked out the hair or curled it a little bit more edgier then it would be a keeper. :) Interesting blog as well.

The short hair gives you a very professional and chic look, long hair is very classy nice. You look great in both but try not to go from short to long real quick, long to short is better and then go from medium to long so it wont be too drastic.

I think u should go for a short hairstyle, it gives you an edgy look. I personally think short hairstyle brings out people's faces more, so I think it looks nice on you.

i think u look good in both its really a matter of personal preference....short hair generally makes one look younger....

Anonymous said...

funny, if u know how cheap an HM bag is, you won't boast about it on your blog.... funny, cos middle class americans here will only carry coach, D&G and etc.. you need to relax on the bag thing... and yes, you look better with short hair

Anonymous said...

very cute!!

Unknown said...

Linda, short hair makes u look fab. Fantastica. Long hair looks good on you as well, it's just that short hair does take years off your face which is equally good. I like ur office interior...meen u r really hardworking, just being consistent. Pls keep it up...lol

Anonymous said...

The long hair makes you look pretty...like a gal's gal...but the short hair is chic and makes you look ermmm what's the word now...more sophisticated...

Anonymous said...

With long hair u look pretty but it's like any other black woman wearing a weave. The short hair is more chic and classy, definitely a keeper!

anon @ 3:40 stop being shallow and superficial jare,middle class american my nose lolol, who cares about d price of bag

i love u linda, short or log hair, u can rock both cus ur fabulous like that

Ejike Manny said...

I think the anonimous that said u were boasting about ur bag is new to ur blog. That was just the uassual u, not a hint of boasting. As for ur new hair style, all i can is that as a guy who has an eye for good things and pretty people, i'd say do more of the short hair. It really fits u better. I actually didn't know u were this prety.

sHORT HAIR Looks good on you but you need to drastic it up a bit. This look is a little demure. There are so many pics on the internet, google image rihanna and get some ideas.

Anonymous said...

most definately the short hair style, u look younger and it highlights ur face features more

Anonymous said...

i definitely prefer the shorter hairstyle. it brings out the features of your face more. however, u will probably find that you have to accessorise more with shorter hair so u might want to keep that in mind.

Anonymous said...

I'll kill for the short hair look, girl, you look great.
But u didn't need to tell us about the H&M bag like you are the only one that can afford it.
Your table is pretty unkept, do somthing about it.lol

Anonymous said...

i love the short hair. it makes you look nice and pretty and innocent too. if im to say stick with the short hair im not really feeling the long hair that much

Anonymous said...

no offence but what is the big deal in an h&m bag.i love u girl but u didnt need to announce that.It is just an okay store in the states. Next time announce for only Lv, gucci and prada bags aii. H&M is a regular store.

Anonymous said...

I like the short hair better. You look your age and refreshing. With the long hair it seems to add to your age and nothing really special about it. However, may I suggest some girl etc to make it even more chic?

To the person talking about HM bag being cheap etc. The problem with you people who come to oyimbo and pretend. You buy D&G etc. but it's all on credit and your credit becomes tarnished and can't even afford to eat properly because she's your so concerned with what people see you with. Let Linda talk about her H&M Bag, at least it's not on credit. She got it with her own money and can boast of any make she wants to boast of.

Anonymous said...

@ Anon February 10, 2009 3:40 AM: Kon shut up dere....."Middle class American's here". Who asked u... just talk abt the hair and get off the blog.

No be to buy $200 bag no pay ur rent oh.... Stupid somebodi...

Anonymous said...

Many people who buy name brands like Gucci, D$G, Prada etc buy it on credit, and they are in huge debt. They are over there stressing themselves over name brands bcos they think people will notice, a nice bag is a nice bag, or cute dress is a cute dress, don't matter where you get it from. I don't like fake or shallow chicks. Even if u have the money, does that mean u should use it to buy all these expensive bags and shoes, when they are better things to use the money for, like save it. Even if I buy a bag from Ross, and it's cute and cheap, I will talk about it. By the way, Linda, the short hair brought out your face features more, it's more edgy and cute. I was just caught off guard by the person's comment about middle class carrying only D&G, bcos u carry what u can afford

Anonymous said...

on the HM bag:
I am a 25 y o nurse anesthesist(google it) and by defination -- " A Middle Class", and yes, HM is an ordinary /cheap store. I don't have problems with her white HM bag, but I am "concerned" with the "boasting" and flashing of " a simple $24 bag that i can buy here in Boston".... HM bags don't last, I had my way with them in college, and finally, I can buy coach, gucci and D&G with my money --- and not credit card. Why is it that people back home always think that we here in diaspora are suffering ? I can't understand.

Hi Linda, the short hair looks great on you. About the bag, It might be cheap in the states but not in Nigeria, so let Linda boast for all I care.

Anonymous said...

@ Anonymous Feb. 11 6.47am. Good for you that you've done away with H&M bag. Linda asked about the opinion of her hair and she didn't flash her H&M bag, it to the corner and can't even see it unless you look properly. Why is it such a big deal for you? I'm beginning to think that you can't even afford a H&M bag which is why is pains you so much that someone in Nigeria can buy it and not on credit. And thank you for telling us your profession. We know how much you work and kill yourself to live your fake lifestyle. I'm sure you work 12 hours a day 5 or 6 days a week so you can dress with name brands which for all we know is fake Gucci and D&G.

Comment on Linda's hear and move on. Some of you pathetic people always try to start nonsense. Like they say misery loves company. You just want Linda to feel pathetic like you do. If you don't have constructive criticism to make, then move on. What you really have is a degree in PhD...get it? Pull Her Down. I bet if we check you are probably an aspiring nurse Anesthetist who ended up being a LPN because you couldn't make it. Look back at your post, you couldn't even spell your profession right.

@ anonymous February 11, 2009 6:47 AM. I think you are new to linda's blog. she talks about anything, you getting upset with her mentioning her H&M bag is a normal jist from linda. We all have our priorities if you like buy d&g or prada bags thats your business no body cares. Pls dont hate on our linda.

Hey girl definately u must stick to the short hairstyle...u look verry pretty with it...

A new addicted to ur blog :)

Anonymous said...

I prefer the shorter haircut. We can see your face clearly. I think it gives you a mature but fresh (young) vibe. That said, you don't have to stick with one style or the other. You can switch it up from time to time, as your mood changes lol.

You look A LOT classier and more distinguished with the short do

Anonymous said...

I am Linda's biggest fan. But in fairness to anonymous, I believe Linda mentioned the HM bag to boast. Believe me, if the bag was just sitting in the picture and Linda didnt make reference to it, then "Anonymous" wouldnt have said anything. She made reference to the bag to prove a point and all her blind supporters need to face the truth. I love her too but she didnt need to mention her hm bag. It was very offpoint. HM is a cheap store. Somebody prolly sold/ got it for her from yankee or something.Its all good though. I love you still Linda. Just dont do childish stuff like that ever again

Anonymous said...

what is killing Nigeria is this.... we do not have anything, we cant even feed our people, no electricity, no health care, corrupt and "stupid" goats calling themselves leaders and finally.... the people, so many people blinded by aesthetics, focus on proving who is richer or poorer, again, the WHITE HM bag is ugly and cheap.. we need to wake up from our pit of selfishness and stop boasting. There is nothing in nigeria, nothing, South african, Namibia and even simple ROMANIA is better and more developed than our country...but we are stuck with worldly things...and yes, I am a nurse, I work three twelve hour shifts per week .. I am comfortable and happy with my life.If u made about my shift, try applying to a nurse school and finally, complete one and get a masters, then come back and talk trash about my profession

Linda Ikeji said...

I'm better in short hair? oh dear...up until now I thought i looked like a boy in short hair. thanks to everyone who thinks im pretty...*wink*
@the anons who say im boasting about an HM bahg, u obviously aren't conversant with the way i write. sometimes i write silly/playful things like that, i wasn't boasting. BTW, you think a 9grand bag is cheap? if it's cheap then u need to see my other bags...lol

Anonymous said...

Linda whoever sold that bag to you for 9 grand ripped you off big time. That bag here in the states will be worth like 10 bucks which is equivalent to 800 naira. I see why you mentioned it now. If I bought it for 9 grand, I will mention it too.

Short hair - by a mile

Anonymous said...

hi been fascinated by your blog for long. plus i'd like to work with you too.
i think you should go with the short look as it brings out your personality and convinces many that you are still a top model (stop using that ex-super appellation). also cos you have a long face already, another long weave makes you look cheap (you can take a joke aiight?)please tell your sista to emulate you too with respect to shorter hairstyles!

nurse anon,dont take out ur frustration on us now,haba!!!!!!!!!gone r the days when u pple stay over there and send us nice pix of mortgaged houses and cars not yet fully paid for,come home and c whats happennin

lol.. ull are all so funny, leave linda and her bag alone. this is her blog and she is just having fun.

HM bags go for $24- $40, there is no $10 HM bag unless it is on sell. I hate white bags by the way, it is for old people ( not discriminating on old people)

YankeeNaija said...

Like the old saying says, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." Keep your long hair. The short do ages you. It makes you look at least ten years older than you are now. The long hair makes you look youthful. Keep the long look. Nix the short do.

YankeeNaija said...

To the anonymous nurse anesthetist (google it): you're such a moron. You, who probably, before entering nursing school, had just come from the village and knows no better. You're really ignorant. Moron, H&M, if you knew any better, is for those fashion conscious who appreciate quality clothing, and don't feel they have to pay the ridiculous prices designers charge for their wears. You're simply too idiotic to know any better. Please, clap for yourself that you can pay cash for your silly, played out purses. Since you can buy them with cash and not credit. You're such a spaz. And please google stupidity, you'll find a picture of yourself there.

Anonymous said...

OMG, I can't believe Linda mentioning her H&M bag will cause uproar. Whether she's boasting about it or not, so what. Can we just simply enjoy her blog. I've followed her blog for a while, if it was some other bloggers, I will conclude but I know Linda jokes around like that a lot, which shows that she's down to earth, and does not take herself seriously sometimes. i really like that a lot. Continue to be yourself, Linda.

I noticed that the fake nurse in diaspora couldn't even spell her profession right?....Nurse eliza!!! H&M, D&G, Who cares?. If you've got it then flaunt it. This dried out 25 year old nurse is obviously frustrated and came out here to vent. What she needs is a man. But with that attitude, i don't know who will want to be with her....

...Okay u've prolly heard it all; but me I sha lyk the short hair better- maybe its bcos I personally am dying to try short for myself too, but am scared it won't luk gud.

But u pulled it off nicely...u shd try a little more edgy cut (dnt go crazy sha o)...u luk mature,but still lady-like and current...ok I've run out of adjectives...lol

Linda, are these all women respondents thus far? To this guy, the long hair was smokin! The short hair may be trendy or professional, but def not as feminine. And it's not close. Long live LONG.
