And DH doesn't like it. It was between my shoulder blades. It's now up to my chin. Im not sure I like it either, but it was starting to look scraggly.

By accident or on purpose? With real scissors or the rounded kid ones?

I had mine cut last week. It was chin length. I was so tired of the curling iron, hairspray eye. It is now a little longer than pixie length, and I love it. Quick hit with curling iron and its done. I don't think my DH likes it either

Please tell me this wasn't a DIY job. Yeah I know this is YM and save pennies and all, but please don't do that DIY thing with your hair.

DH always makes the same comment when I get my hair cut (which is usually every 6 months or so - I'm trying to get better about it!) - "Woohoo!! I'm getting me some with a new woman tonight!"

I prefer my hair long, but DH prefers mine short. Can you style it differently than the stylist did--assuming you didn't do what goldenrule girl thinks .

I'm way overdue for a cut myself.....it's long enough now that I actually let it curl today - both to see if it would still curl, and to see if it's actually presentable that way. will you be posting pics to FB any time soon?

I got mine done Saturday and went RED, really, really RED. I have always been blond, or blond ish brown. BIG, BIG change. I've had tons of compliments but I'm not 100% sure about it yet. It is definitely shocking when I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror!!

will you be posting pics to FB any time soon? THere's a New Year's Eve picture I'm tagged in, but it's kind of far away to reaaly see the difference. At some point, pics will go up.

I'm losing a lot of hair because of my thyroid issues. I thought it was getting too thin to keep it long.

The stylist blows it out and straightens it. I let it air dry and let the curls free. They always blow mine out straight too, even though I tell them I will never, ever, ever take the time to do it. I am naturally curly/wavy. I like it when they do it, but it is way too much work.

Every few years I do the same thing and the stylist underestimates the power of the curl in my hair and cuts it too short. Then I spend a year growing it back out. I have naturally curly hair that I airdry so I only need a cut every 6-9 months.

I have naturally curly hair that I airdry so I only need a cut every 6-9 months. I had hair down almost to my ass when I was a kid, the weight totally straightened it a ton. I didn't really realize just how curly it actually is until I cut it above my shoulders in HS and it just poofed like Simba when he shakes out his mane after jumping in the lagoon. I've been seeing the same stylist since about a year after that cut, and she's seen me curly exactly once - about 5 years ago, when my shop did the bridal party hair for a friend's wedding. I don't think she believed me as to how big my mop can get until I pulled the hood down on my zip-up track jacket that morning. I've had the same cut for probably a decade now - layered and at least as long as to the shoulders. it is not at all conducive to curls, which is fine because it's either up in a clip or blown out and flat ironed. today's adventure was b/c I knew I wasn't going anywhere so it didn't matter how obnoxious it got

Despite the pictures of me as a kid, I would have sworn I had straight hair from the time I was 8-9 and up. It was just straight because my new stepmom had it cut uber short. Finally it junior high the epic battles over my hair ended and I grew it out. It is totally wavy/curly unless I dry it straight and flat iron it.
Swamp as long as you like it, who cares?

I cut my hair into a pixie cut every 2 years or so. DH hates it. He says I look like a boy. I love having it that short - it's so easy and I think it looks nice.
I spend about 4 months with the cut and then proceed to grow it out. I'm in that horrible growing out stage right now. Too short to put in a ponytail but too long that it's annoying.

It is definitely shocking when I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror!! I colored my hair at home and apparently when the box says mahogany, it means red. Wow what a change, people did not recognize me. I knew I was stuck with it at least for a few weeks. I pretended I was in the witness protection program, or a 00 spy who had to change her look. That made it more fun than embarrassing.
People noticed when I changed it back to my correct color!!

And that is why I will never have short hair ever again! ETA: and congratulations on becoming a redhead constanz22! I first tried it in my 20's and now it my go-to color for fall/winter.

I have thought of going red, but I'm too chicken. Plus I've never colored my hair as it us. My hair color is a medium-light brown.

Hair grows back (I hope.) A bad/unflattering cut is usually temporary.

Actually, I have 3 redheaded sisters so I knew it would look fine before I took the plunge. But hey, it's only hair! If you don't like it you can go back in a week or two.

I went red as soon as I moved out on my own & my dad was still mad about it. Too bad, I was meant to be a redhead. Now I have 2 stepdaughters with beautiful, naturally red hair & I'm jealous. As far as length goes, I cut mine short several years ago & DH announced afterwards that he had always hated it longer. Well gee, thanks sweetie One good result of that was we took a trip to our favorite city so he could replace the pictures he had of me there with longer hair. Swamp, I would give it at least 2 weeks until you (and DH) decide if you really hate it. Big changes take getting used to. And of course everyone's right when they say it will grow back.

I did happen to notice a trend among the meth head pictures that they often make big changes to their appearance after a month or two. Most seem to prefer bleaching their hair blonde, but cutting it short is not uncommon either. Joost saying.
