Women
Women are socially permitted to wear a much wider range of styles, probably to attract men (and compete with other women in this).
Long hair frames the face and may partially cover it, teasing about the beauty behind this curtain. Particularly when covering the eyes, long hair over the face provides a barrier behind which the woman can hide, perhaps when she has lower confidence or self-esteem.
When women cut their hair short,
it can indicate a desire to be male, like a man
or perhaps to be unattractive to men.
It may also be a rebellion against womanhood, for example when they have been mistreated by other women when they were young.
