Short hair, depending on the style, could be easier to maintain I guess, but my hair doesn't suffer too much from being under a helmet and a little sweaty since its straight and pretty flat anyway-lol! If you had hair that reacted to humidity by getting frizzy you may have more of a problem
I wash my hair in the evening when I get home then and I'm ready to go in the morning.
Good luck!
I have long (all one length) hair as well and I find that it's actually easier to have it look decent after being under a helmet than when it was really short (because when it was short it would get really flat from the helmet). I generally just put it in a low ponytail and it doesn't look much different after riding--if I want to make it look a little nicer I can put it in a bun once at my destination. The other nice thing is that I don't have to keep getting haircuts every six weeks--just the occasional trim to clean up split ends.
