To Cut or Not To Cut

There are only a few issues in life I have truly had to think about.

#1 WLS

#2 Moving out of my parents house at 22

#3 Buying a home

#4 Getting my hair cut

Why is #4 such a HARD decision? I have been growing out my hair for three years now and am not happy with it. I have a hair appointment tonight after work and I am torn on what to do. I always go in and she just trims it.

I'm ready for something different. Easy to manage and Fun. I'm on the way to a whole new me - I think a new haircut would be awesome.

Now what style? How short do I want to go? My hair is naturally curly. It would be great to put product in, blowdry and go. I fight the humidity so bad in south Georgia. My hair STAYS frizzy.

Why do I have to make this so hard!?

Awwwww, hun that's cute!! Love the new do.

Your hair looks great!! So pretty! :ohmy:

Thanks everybody! I've been out of town - sorry for the delayed response :-)

Cute cute cute!! My hair is one thing I wanna change when I start loosing weight. Right now it's down to my bra on my back. Dh HATES short hair on me, so that isn't really an option. I think I'm gonna get it layed and change the color though (I'm sure it won't be long till the gray hair starts showing up anyway).

Okay gals you're gonna hate my advice:

I never NEVER advise anyone to go drastic the first time. I have seen way too many girls burst into tears in the shop and ruin their self image because I or another co worker gave them what they asked/INSISTED on getting.:smile2: If you have reaffirmed time and time again that you like how your face, chin forehead looks emphasized, then I say you are ready for the razor. I usually advise shoulder length, then in a month come back in...it is the shoulder and above that seems to freak people out the most. Getting any over the ear cut is drastic too...I say try a spunky choppy layered cut, try a brilliant red, or sexy chocolate...colors do wonders. I can't imagine my hair being any other shade than red...had it for over 15 years now. The inverted or asymmetrical cuts like the modernized wedge with longer lengths in front are all the rage...you can still keep your length in the front for security.. :Angel_anim:

I will say this...if you go drastic and love it...80% of the time, you never go back long again. It is too damn easy to manage. I am a pixie now...it is fab! I don't care about my face shape...my hubby loves it too. I have the crazy rooster/ducks ass neckline...so it sweeps into the center.

Hey April! I've had short hair before - a lot shorter than it is now. I was ready to go even shorter than she cut it this time. She was the one that was unsure. After I had my first daughter my hair was mid back and I cut it almost pixie and loved it! I kept it that way for a few years and decided two years ago I wanted to grow it out again. I've now decided short is for me. Not that I didn't love my hair long - it just stayed in a ponytail more than I wore it down. I can't stand it to be in my face. I think hair dressers can tell when a client comes in and just doesn't know what they want...that's when you shouldn't cut it. I was so ready! I love it!
