I'm kind of toying with the idea of getting a few wispy chin/jaw length face framing bits cut in because I think they'd look better when I wear my hair up. But I dunno. If I don't like them... And what about plaits? Anyone have them? What do they look like with a single plait? I'm thinking I might buy some clip on hair and snip it to the right length to see but I thought I'd see what you guys thought.

Your hair is beautiful as it is although they could look pretty but I know when I cut my fringe in, i totally regretted it the next day. Although since they're wispy you can easily hide them I guess if you don't like them. Good luck whatever you do.

I did it once when my hair was much shorter, and I regretted it big time. I
hate having hair fall in my face, and it wouldn't stay in braids or updos. But
if that doesn't bother you, no problem!

clip-on hair is an EXCELLENT idea. Kind of try before you buy (but it's really buy before you try...LOL )

And if you do like it, then just do wispy bits that you could disguise if you didn't like them down the track.  However.....wait 2 weeks from now before you do anything

I have them naturally from fairy-tale tapering. The longer I waited, the more hair shedded and the more hair grew in at different rates. All hairs fall out within 3-5 years. If you plan on doing active growing in the next three years or more, then I don't think you'll need to get layers cut in.

They'll come anyway.

Yeah, I think layers would annoy me and I kind of like my all one length hair. I'll show you a pic of what I meant to clarify.

( The bits I mean to cut in are in red- wow I'm so good at computer drawing-not! Only on both sides, obviously)

p.s. I think wispy bits would suit you and they will also allow you much more versatility with your long hair, e.g. in up-dos and half-up ones.  As someone says above, if they are wispy, you can blend them into the rest of your hair too, if you get sick of them!

If you get the urge to cut the hair extensions is SUCH a good idea!

I had chin length bangs cut in December.  I actually really like them.  They're thin, not drastic, and allow me to pull my hair back without...I don't, looking washed out?  I pulled them back the other day for a quick hairstyle and had to put makeup on because my face looked soooo white without them.

But I more or less cut mine because I already had this fuzzy all different lengths of wispy crap that keeps coming in around my hairline.  The best part is that it's coming in in all different directions, so I don't even have a natural looking part anymore.

G'luck!

Hi LadyFrog,

You could upload the picture to a web host.  tinypic.com is one I like to use.  FWIW, I think your hair is super-fantastic as is, but that's merely my opinion.

Tinypics gone a bit weird on my computer
I don't think I'll be cutting them in after all I've thought about it and decided that it might look a bit weird as the rest of my hair is so long. Thank you everyone for your wise words of advice and hair comps Your hair is gorgoeus too dave.

LadyFrog, you are most definitely deserving of the comps.  And I thank you for yours.
