Short hair is (often)easier to manage and does suit some people better. I personally much prefer long hair. Maybe you should grow your hair out longer instead. The longer it is, the more You can see it without a mirror by just picking it up, you can do stuff with it, like tying it up different ways, it looks better dyed than short hair. You can hold it and play round with it too. You should consider growing out your hair more to see if you like that just as much? Cutting it all at once is quite attractive as you see the immediate change. Do you whatever you think is best though, not what other people think is.

Okay okay vineman!!! Don`t get all moody with me. There is actually a reason why as you get older you tend to get a short cut, er, because your hair thins. Ever seen an old woman with hair down to her bum? Well maybe, but not likely, coz they all go for short and volumeous perms to make it look thicker. NOT SAYING THAT 17 IS WHEN YOU BECOME AN OLD WOMAN, JUST MAKING A POINT! hehe. Maybe you shouldnt cut it, i just cut my long hair and now its just short and ugly. I have a very stubby ponytail. Im growing it out to my bum again. :|

Hello Playette,

I buy and sell hair for extensions and could pay you some cash for your hair if you decide to cut it to your shoulders all at once. Visit my web site at:

I could pay you about $80 if you cut your hair like Melissa #1 at my web site. Drop me an email if you`re interested, and we can work out the details. My email address is: bks@ixpres.com

Take care

Well, my basic plans are to cut my hair to about shoulder length or maybe a little shorter. To lessen the risk of me hating short hair I wanna do it probobly three steps. I`m probobly gonna have my one friend who sais she can cut hair cut it to my mid back sometime next week, or maybe even on Monday since we don`t have school. The other cuts will be at a salon i always go to. Why? Mostly for thechange. I also think I would look really cute with kind of short hair, plus long hair is hard to take care of and hard to make look good all the time.

If I read you right I think you should keep your long hair until you have a baby.....


I know I`ll hear the sexist remarks....

Well, I have had my hair many lengths. I went from blonde hair as long as yours, to above my shoulders (accidentilly, long story), to a pixie, all the way back to my shoulders, to only 1 inch long. I did not like my hair at shoulder legnth so I got it cut to a pixie, but some of that might have been because I was so mad about my long hair being chopped off by that stupid stylist. I got frusterated and went extremely short. Although I like pixies, I would not recomend them if there is any part of you that will want long hair again, because your looking at over a year just to be able to pull your hair back again. When looking at pictures of when my hair was first cut to above my shoulders, they looked pretty good, although I had a shocked face on most of them. That seems to be what you want to do. My advise, do it in steps. I am trying to grow a pixie out to my shoulders again, then my goal is to get it to be to my waste again, but who knows if I will make it before I go nuts and cut it. If you cut your hair to mid back, and realize that it was a mistake, at least it is not a 2-3 year mistake like going right for a short cut will be. Also, yes you can have almost anyone do the first cut, as long as you want no layers or anything beyond just straight across at a certain point. Also, there will be less chance of a "misunderstanding" than there will be with a stylist. Mine made a "mistake" that cost me years of growth and a major dilema. So my advise would be to get the first cut done with a friend, and the next two with a stylist. Write back and let us all know.

I think going all the way to my shoulders right away would be kind of a drastic change, but I think I am going to cut my hair. My end goal will be probobly above my shoulders, depending on how much I like is short as I get slowly shorter. How short do you think is a good first step? I`m thinking about having it cut to about the middle of my back, then if I like the way a change feels I will probobly cut it to maybe my shoulder blades within the next month after the first cut, then if I still want to I`ll go for the big cut and cut it real short. I`m actually excited thinking about it. I don`t know about three different appointments though, do you think it is important to go to a high proced, high quality, hair saoln for just the first cut, since it will probobly be changed quickly anyway, or could I even have someone do it for me, because i don`t really have the money for three trips to the salon and my parents don`t really want me to cut my hair so I don`t think they would fund my little project. Get back to me.

Hello,

I would recommend cutting it to shoulder length first and then if you still want it shorter you can go for chin length the next time. It sounds like you want something different and hey, its only hair, it`ll grow back. Shoulder length would be a good first step. It will be a change and something different but yet not too drastic. Take care and keep us posted.
