QuoteReplyTopic: Want to chop off all my hair... Posted: July 22 2005 at 9:11pm
I feel really strange, but I really want to cut my hair, for the sheer
thrill of it, and to see what it would look like. I was talking to a
girl who had waist length black hair who cut it all off to her
cheekbones, on a whim at cure concert, and it just seems like the
sexiest thing ever to do.
But I much like longer hair, and really want it down to my waist. I'm so confused.
I never got to have a "good" short style while growing out either.
It's not really long enough though for a big cut to be that drastic.
Hoping it grows a lot between now and next summer, I might cut it short
then, get rid of the damaged hair so I can bleach it all blonde.
How long do extensions last? I was thinking of getting them down to my
waist after I got bored with short hair. Ideally I'd love to have it
down to my waist before cutting it off...
I am never going shorter than my chin, or cheekbone at most, ever,
though, I'm not a big fan of short short hair, and I'd look like a guy
(again). I absolutely adore my hair and would feel suicidal if it was
*all* gone.
Sorry, I'm just in one of those weird and dangerous moods today.

Sounds like your just having an off day.Never cut your hair on a whim.Especially since you sound so undecided.Give it a week or two,and if the desire to cut it all off is still there then go for it.I cant count how many times I cut bangs into my hair,loved it for a day,and then wore them pulled back with pins and clips until they grew back out.This is something you should think long and hard about .

There are these video things at some salons called....um....geez....well, they take your picture and then you can pick out different hairstyles (video imaging) and see yourself with all hair types and lengths. So you could call different salons or google "video hair imaging" and find a salon that does it. Also, you can do this for free on the Ladies Home Journal website, if you have a digital camera and can download a picture of yourself to their site.
From what you've said, it sounds like you already regret your short hair that you don't have yet.

Rosalie, it is natural to be curious. But even though you are antsy for a cut now, you still say you like it long. Be *sure* before you cut, b/c the "thrill" will not last for three or four years, until it grows back again. Also, 90% of the time when I hear women talk about their "damaged" hair, at least to my eyes, the problem is grossly exagerated. Having said this, YOU must be happy with your hair, so I wish you the best. Bob
Or... you can do in-between, and trim just a small amount each month until the damage is removed. That way your length will at least stay relatively the same.
Hi, I've decided I'm making the big chop, but not until next year. I
realised that although I'm extremely attatched to my hair, having it to
my chin just feels like another shape of it to me rather than defacing
it.
This is absolutely perfect. I'd prefer it in platinum though. That
style makes me consider doing it around Christmas instead of next year,
depending on how fast it grows.
One of the main things is that I'm a transgender and I'll have been on
HRT for a month or two by then, and I didn't want to feel less
feminine. But I don't think the extra length makes me that much more
feminine if I style the shorter hair right. Plus, I'll be growing it
out anyway, it will be fun to have my hair grow with everything else,
and I might just get extensions down to my waist.
I can't wait until next year. I'm going to chop it all off myself but
get it tidied and styled at the hairdressers, so I'll make sure not to
go overboard. I'll possibly bleach it myself too, not sure on that yet.
For now, I'm just going to continue to grow my hair, I might fix the bits I missed tonight when dying it red.
Wish me luck in a years' time :)

Damn, I really do like the style of that hair better than mine... i
think I prefer big hair rather than long hair on me, though I do intend
to have *big* very long hair someday, unfortunately I can't get away
with it so much now..
Thank you :) I think I'll get the cut eventually, I can't wait. But I'm
still a long hair person, and I'll grow it out. Imagine growing that
hairstyle out! Fun XD

I don't like short hair as a fad, the hairstyle I want doesn't really
look that short(since it's so big). Short hair should only be if you
really want it.
I'm still thinking about it to be honest, but not in the "OMG MY LIFE
IS OVER MY HAIR IS GONE" Kind of way. I would have been like that a
while ago, and I'd still stab anyone who tries to cut my hair without
my consent.
If I get this done, it has to be done right. I don't want my hair to be messed up, it's my only pretty thing.
I might just fluff up my hair at the lenght it is now instead... any suggestions as to how to do that?
I might get a wig like that at some stage... playing with wigs look fun. If I cut it, I'll get a long wig instead :)

And it's not actually as damaged as I thought it was, I had to redye it
because I missed bits, and the bits still didn't tae ;/ So i have one
or two strands to bleach altogther. Luckily I got my roots done
properly this time.
It'd be way cooler to wait until it's longer so it'd be more dramatic.
It depends really. I might or I might not :) Just as long as it's not
too short I'm happy.
