Thanks for everybodies ideas! I didn`t know if anyone would even reply! Someone asked how long my hair is. It is about half way down my back. I just measured and if I cut it to my chin I would cut off about 13 inches. I like the idea of donating it to someone that needs it.

So what I don`t like about my hair is that I always have to tie it up and stuff or it gets in the way. When I let it down everyone says it is really pretty and I should wear it down more but it gets into everything so I always have it braided or in a pony tail and stuff. If I wash it after sports it is still damp when I go to sleep if I don`t dry it. If I don`t braid it before I go to sleep it is a big mess in the morning and hard to untangle so I usually braid it. Sometimes it is still damp in the morning. I thought about keeping it long and just getting short bangs but I don`t think that would look good and it would still be a pain. I`m afraid if I cut it to a medium length or get layers that it will be harder to keep out of the way than it is long. Does that make sense? OK I`m rambling. Thanks!

Bronnie, I think if people say you shouldn`t cut your hair they like it, and they want it to be attached on you. The hair is a part of your personality and you should know that some people love it long.

The girls you talked about can be attractive for different reasons. Maybe they are special beauties, or they have charisma or it is pleasant to be related to them. But I am sure that some guys around you would prefer yourself.

I personally don`t know how to play sport with long hair, but there exist women with long hair (tennis, motor sports, wrestling) who have long hair. The same is often true for circus performers, artists and dancers.

Hi! I can see why you might want to cut your hair, since you haven`t had it short for awhile, but maybe you should just get it cut shoulder length w/ some layers or something, just so that you can see if you like your hair shorter or not. Believe me, its much easier on your self if you just take it slower and see if you like your hair shorter. If you don`t like shorter hair, than its easier to grow it out from shoulder length than it to grow it out from chin length. and hey, if u like it short than you can always cut it shorter! But, it all depends on what u want.

Hi, sorry forgot to mention that you must send a pic or a length that you are willing to cut before he can give you a price. Your hair must be pretty straight too. Thanx, Sarah

HI, If you really want to cut it I say go for it!! I know this guy that buys hair to make extensions. The length limit is about 20". If you are willing to cut 20" or more of hair, contact him. His email is bks@ixpres.com and if ya wanna look at the pics on his website the URL is www.ixpres.com/hair. Thanks and remember Locks of love is a rip off. You deserve more for you hair. Thanx for listening, Sarah (ps. those of you who have donated to locks of love, don`t get mad, its just that they receive over 100 ponytails a day and only use maybe half, and this guy only receives 10 a week and uses it all. )

Hello :)

I think that your idea to go in a chin lenght cut with short bangs is a really good idea to start :)
U can go shorter later but it`s better, I think, to go gradually and not all off at once.
Have Fun, and, for a guy point of view, bangs and short hair are really attractive ;)

I think that you should definitely go for the chin length cut with short bangs. I love that hair length and style on girls. I am guy so not all guys like long hair. A girl with a beautiful bob and bangs lights my fire. I actually have a bob hairstyle that comes to just below my ears with bangs. It is easy to maintain with regular trims at the salon every 4 - 6 weeks. My hair is naturally very wavy so I have to blow it straight each morning but you should not have that problem. I say go for it and let us know what you think and how it turns out.
laura any pictures of the different cuts? I`d love to see them all.

hey there, i recently cut all of my hair off (literally)
i had long hair just like you and i went to a boys barber shop and first the guy cut it in a wedge this is a short haircut cut to the bottom of your ears and clippered in the back i looked very cute i think, plus my boyfriend loved it......then i wanted it shorter so a few weeks later it was time for a trim and i went back this time i went all the way i got a super short boyish crewcut i LOOOOOOVE it its so easy and cute but it may not be for everyone.....before i had it cut the first time i cut off my ponytail myself and i sent it to locks of love, this is a company that takes your hair and uses it for wigs for children with cancer. it felt sooo amazing cutting off my poytail the feeling i had when i cut it and saw how short it looked was amazing not to mention how cool it felt when i was turning my head side to side and my newly short hair was swinging back and fourth please if you do cut it all off consider donating it im sure ill grow out my hair again to be really long but for now im enjoying how great short hair is you will not regret it at all although itis a bit scary seeing your hair soo short but its fun!!!!!! please let me know what you decide and by the way how long is your hair now??? is it one length?? do you have bangs?? also your mom cant say no if you plan on donating your hair right??????---laur

Dear Bronnie,

I am going to answer this from a guys perspective, because that is what I am. Just about all the guys I know, much prefer girls with longer hair to short hair. There is something very special about girls who have their hair long. it looks absolutely amazing and is so enjoyable to run your fingers through, etc. I bet those girls who are popular with short hair, would be twice as popular with their hair long, trust me, I have seen this many times.
You say you want something that is easy to take care of, well the absoute fact of the matter is that short hair takes just as much time and effort to look after and care for as long hair does. Another big advantage of long hair is if you don`t feel like doing much with it, you can just tie it back in a nice ponytail and it still looks great, can`t do that with short hair. Also, long hair is so versatile, and is great for sport, as you can tie it back or braid it.
Before you cut your hair off Ii would like to discuss it with you more, but that is completely up to you. You can contact me anytime you wish and I will reply ASAP. My email is johnrm@origin.net.au.
Best Wishes,
John

Ok so I have long brown hair that is pretty straight and I am thinking about cutting it short. Actually I`ve been wanting to cut it short for a long time but my mom said I couldn`t until I start high school and I`ll start high school next year. I haven`t had short hair since I was like 4 and everyone says I shouldn`t cut it all off at once but medium length hair seems like more of a hassle than long hair is so I don`t get the point. Everyone says that guys like long hair but some of the most popular girls in my school have short hair.

I want hair that is really easy to take care of and isn`t always getting in my face. I like to play sports. Can I get that without cutting it short? Has anyone else just cut their long hair short all at once? I was thinking I would get short bangs and cut the rest straight to about my chin. What do you think?
