Here is a question to you all. I had shoulder blade length, one length hair and then tried a new hairdresser. Now I have layers all over and look like a male 70's rock star. Should I chop off the length (back to semi blunt),or keep growing it from here.

Hey Nikita (excellent name), I just had a recent hair problem, so I know exactly what you mean. My decision was absolutely no more cutting. It'll grow and all blend together and you'll no longer look like Joey Tempest (remember Europe). That's who I thought I looked like a week and a half ago. How long ago did you get it cut? Everyone on this site has been so supportive and helpful. You came to the right place for advice. Smile, Nekita |

I got it cut about two weeks ago. I thought it looked a little odd, but then I thought maybe it looks modern. About a week ago I asked my husband whether my hair looked like I was out of "Spinal Tap" the movie. His pause was all I needed to confirm my thoughts. I guess that I'll wear it up for a while. Thanks. ------------- |

That's funny, Spinal Tap was just on TV over the weekend. Your husband must have been impressed that you used that movie as a reference! :) After my haircut, I went out and bought some hairclips, but if you're used to wearing your hair down all the time, like I am, you won't be happy. I'm starting to get used to it, and I know you will. I read that hair can go into shock after cutting and takes a little while to settle. What's made me feel better is looking at every woman's hair that I see, and realizing that the layers that I have (and you probably have, too) are not much different. We're just not used to it. I'm banking on the loose rule of hair growing 6" a year. I also started taking vitamins (Flintstones contain Biotin, which everyone recommends - and they're inexpensive and don't smell bad like the GNC vitamins). OH... BTW... after my disaster cut, I thought I looked like I had a girl-mullet. The sides are so much shorter than the back! Just curious... is your real name Nikita, or did you get it from the (sadly canceled) TV show? |

Nikita is actually my gorgeous dog who has the best hair I have ever seen. She is a beautiful 6 year old Malamute Lab X that we picked up from an animal shelter. ------------- |

This is off the subject, but oh my I love that movie. La Femme Nikita. What a wonderful name to give your dog! Anais |
