Someone MUST talk me out of this hair cut NOW!

I am in the mood to CUT, and in the mood right NOW... Summer is coming soon, that means warm weather, a nice tan, and either dealing with this growing out mess of a head of hair of mine, or this really neat, really blonde, really cute cut........Ok you can all tell where I`m leaning on this one.....I am afraid that I`m going to take the plunge, and I`m afraid that I`m going to regret my decision, but then again, I love short hair and I really do look better with it, I think so anyway. BUT then again, I LOVE long hair too. Thing is, is that the longer mine gets, the more thin and shaggy it looks. I just do not know what to do.....I know that I will only get support to keep letting it grow, and I appreciate you all, but I really do like this cut and think that I`m ready to take the plunge.

I`ve been trying to let my hair grow for some time now, but it`s just not working out.....but then again....

thanks Meg......:)

Meg, even IF you do cut your hair like that, it isn`t the end of the world. Ask yourself, do you want long hair just because you think you should or because you REALLY want it? A big part of you MUST want the long hair or you wouldn`t have even found posted on this particular site, correct? If you DO want to cut it in that particular style and you think you really do look better with short hair, then maybe that really is for you. Sometimes I think people get into these sites (myself included) and begin to think that it is blasphemous to cut their hair. You have to do what YOU want and what makes YOU feel good. I, myself have waist length hair and do really like it alot. I do, on the other hand, get like you and want a "Change" once in awhile. I know i probably would regret it however. The difference between you and I is that i DO NOT look good with short hair. You have to weigh it all out and really think about what looks best on you and what makes you feel better about you because you are the one wearing it. I hope i haven`t confused you more. Good luck!

Meg, this is the long hair support section, so I feel free to argue for long hair. I have looked at the photo at the URL you presented and you can be sure that I never would change a beautiful long hair against this result. "Cute" is something I don`t understand, but I know what kind of feelings long hair can cause. For me it is a source of never ending appreciation and admiration and I love it if women are in harmony with their hair. I got some friendly mail relations to long haired women (on this site and on other ones) and it really makes pleasure to talk about the hair and to express feelings for it. This is not the end of all, if beautiful feelings in view of common interests appear there are lot of things one can talk about. All of this comes from the long hair, I never would be interested to talk about short hair styles or cut off intentions, then I would better look at TV or solve mathematical problems. I think after the summer the next winter will come and how you will feel then? Hair can be easy cut but to let it grow is an experience for years. It is important that you want the long hair and then you will look at the people who encourage you with the hair, otherwise you give only frustration for this one. Short hair is something that is accepted by a lot of people but it is not very special and I myself see no reason to appreciate it.

I don`t know if I can reach you, but I hope I can transmit a little bit that long hair also has its friends.

Just an update here.....I still love the cut and I still may do it, but for now, I went ahead and trimmed up a little and got most of this out of my system. I feel better and my hair looks better, so I`m somewhat satisfied. I still may do it however, just can`t get the nerve to take the cutting plunge just yet. I`m very glad for this board.... Meg

MEg, I know exactly how you feel ( I think!) I`ve been growing out my hair, and it`s really tough and painful, + everytime I see a cute picture of short hair I get this really bad urge to get my hair cut that way. It`s really tough. The one thing I am unsure of is that you said that you look better w/ short hair? Did you erally mean that? Anyways, I really like that picture (it`s soooo cute) and I might print it out and keep it incase I ever do decide to cut my hair short again.

Hi Meg,

Glad to hear that you didn`t cut your hair. I really think that in the long run you will be so glad you didn`t. You just need to get through this tough in between stage, because I am positive that once your hair gets long that it will be absolutely beautiful and that you will love it a whole lot. And yes, you probably will draw a lot of attention from the male population, which will make you feel even better about yourself.

Meg, you can get as much long hair support as you want or as you need, to every day and every night time. I really hope you will come to this place if doubts about your hair will again come up to you. I am happy that your hair is still long. In my feelings occur a better world if I think about long haired women. This is not intented as a negative comment about short haired human beings, its only I like this long hair so much.
