ok, so my hair is pretty long now, but the ends are horrifying and I need to cut it, so I was thinking, why not cut it super short? Think almost 20's style. so, I took a picture with it pinned back to about how short I was thinking about, and I would really love you guys's honest opinions. Excuse my blotchy/blurriness, it's late... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v719/paix57/IMG_1047.jpg thanks guys!
As much as I like the haircut on you... yeghhhhhhhhhh DONNNNNNNNNNNNNNN'T cut your hair short! I've cut my long hair short/shaved it several times and sure, I liked it for the first... 4 days... Then I regretted it TONS. Then again, it's hair, sure. it grows..... but.. I love your long hair. Just do something fun like... give yourself a few dreads. ahahha. or just trim it and get rid of the ends. ahahah. That's just my opinion, however, hahaha.. You don't have to listen to me.
i think you would look AWESOME with dreads... you should definately dread your hair. i did, and i'll never regret it, ever!
I think the cut would look great on you, but be careful cutting all your hair off, it could be very tramatic, at least it was for me. My hair was soooooooooooo long, I could hold my hair in my hand, arm totally reached out and there would still be more hair left. I got it cut into some long layers and the girl who cut my hair went crazy!! She took way more than I wanted off, I cryed! Everyone thought I was crazy because it was still long just not as long as it was! When my hair was super long every hair cutter person just wanted to chop it off, I think it was like a trophy for them, lol. If you do cut it you could send it to locks for love!
you are beautiful and i think your hair would be incredible anyway you want to do it. but i remember when i was in bootcamp for the military, my hair was past my shoulders and they made us get it cut. i cried for days and i felt so bald. it can be kinda traumatic. did yo ever think of getting a short foxy wig and wear it and see how it feels first. hate to see you cute that gorgeous hair. angel
I've seen that too, mountaingirl...it seems like if a person with long hair walks in, everyone is going crazy to cut his/her hair into some kind of "style". When my hair was really long, I had to be SO CAREFUL to monitor what the stylist was doing so I didn't get a short cut...I've even made some stylists angry with that...they SOOO want to chop it all off, and curl it up so pretty... (blech!)
I think long hair suits your face better, but then again, I think long hair suits most faces better. Change is always good, and hair grows back, so if you really want to try a new style then go for it! If nothing else, cutting your hair will at least make you appreciate your hair when it's long. I recently cut my hair. I did it not only because I wanted a new look, but to represent a cutting off of a recently ended aspect of my life, and to prepare myself for a new beginning. Wow that sounds cheesy, but it's true. I needed to get rid of the energy that was held in those several inches. It's a very liberating experience and it's felt really great, but, alas, I'm letting it grow out because I think I look better with longer hair. And somehow longer hair is actually more manageable, at least for me. I could just wash my hair and let it airdry and it would be perfect, but now I need to actually style it if I want to wear it down. I need the added weight of the extra inches for my hair not to be so poofy. Luckily it grows fast. I'll probably be able to consider my hair long again by summer. Take my experience how you wish, but do what YOU want. Remember--hair grows!
You should dread it my hir was to the middle of my back and I had the same problems,split ends the expense of trimming every 4-6 weeks at $42 a pop so I decided screw the money the styling products the hair dryers im gonna dread I did and I have saved soooooo much money time and energy not having to deal with messing with my long hair.If you do dread it dont be shocked when your hair starts to shrink!! Until dreads mature as they tighten you loose length so my middle of my back length is now shoulder length. I to, Many years ago decided to cut my hair it was waist length at that time and I wanted to go for a billy Idol type do,bleach white and all,it was funny for a few days then I realized how much I loved my hair and grew it back. I definately think the best way to keep long hair with little Work and up keep is dreads its definately the way to go and I must say I think You would look perfectly beautiful as a dreaddy Mama!! But then again you are beautiful so you would look beautiful either way!!!
id say go for it if thats what you want. i think that it would look very pretty on you. had pretty long hair and i cut it off and i got such great feedback from people on how great it looked. i had it cut in layers and above my shoulders, the shortest layer was to my mouth and the longest was in between my chin and shoulders, kinda in the middle. it accented my face very well. and i moved my part off to the side just a bit. i kept it short since january. im due for a cut again but since its winter i may just wait till spring. just dont cut it too short cause i takes a while to grow back. but do what makes you happy and if its not what you like it always will grow back.
thank you guys all so much, you all rock :0) I cut it, it's about an inch past my shoulders right now, but layered, and I'm going back wednesday and getting it about between my shoulders and chin. I loooooove it short, cause it was so long forever. I'll dread eventually I think, but for now it's so nice to have it short. thank you all so much for your advice :0)
Sounds really pretty, Paix..glad you're enjoying it!! I love how shorter hair just swings around the face...it feels so light after having it long...that is one thing I miss about shorter hair...
