Second is men subconsciously judge women's overall health based on their hair. When women have long, healthy hair it's a good indication that she's reasonably healthy, and capable of having healthy children.
I strongly suspect that nails it right there. Similar to how males tend to be attracted to certain body types more, and those types are more likely to be healthy breeders.
Pixie length hair can be very cute. It can also make you look very young, which may or may not be a problem. It can also emphasize "flaws" in facial structure (big nose, chubby chin). I would say if you wear pretty barrettes, dangly earrings or strong colored lipstick you will look just as "feminine" as if you had longer hair, but that's just my notion. Or do some streaks or something.
I don't do short hair because I then have to go pay to have it maintained. I haven't had a professional near my head in 15 years, for a perm, and a lot longer than that since it was short, maybe 30 years. It stays long. I wash it, let it dry, braid it up, and I'm good to go. On the other hand, I'm also in a long term marriage and not trying to attract guys.
