Just wondering what everyone thinks about layers. My stylist tells me that he thinks I would regret it because right now my hair is all one length and down to my lower back. I would just like a little more framing around my face but don`t know if he`s right and i`m nervous?!?!? I`ve been perming it for the last two years but it normally takes about six hours so between time and damage it does to my hair i`m looking for something different. Let me know what y`all think. Thanks!

All I can say is, think about it awhile. Don`t just spur of the moment cut the layers. I don`t know how many E-mails I have read from people crying because they cut layers into their hair and hated it. All one length and down to your lower back? I would love to have your hair. Please appreciate what you`ve got - I`m sure it looks wonderful.

Hi Jessie,

If your stylist thinks you would regret it, then I think that should be resounding proof that you shouldn`t do it, afterall, most stylists like nothing more than to snip long hair. From my own opinion, I have to agree with your stylist, long hair all one length to your lower back sounds heavenly and I think layers would only detract from the overall beauty of your hair. As the saying goes, if it ain`t broke don`t fix it, and your hair sure doesn`t sound like it needs fixing. Please don`t rush in and do something you will hate and regret a short time later.

If you wish to contact me for further discussion, please feel free to do so.

Best wishes,

John

Thanx for your opinions. I have been thinking about it for quite some time and I had layers a LONG time ago and swore at that time that I would never do it again and here I am. Isn`t it strange how you can see pictures of other people with long hair that looks about the same as yours but for some reason it looks very pretty on them and very plain on you!!!! What do you all think about perms. I sure get a lot of compliments on it when it`s permed compared to straight. I think because it looks like I have so much hair. It really does make it look a lot fuller.

Hello,

I personally like straight hair very much and I remember I was highly confused as women I knew permed it. The long straight hair that sometimes is called boring I like most. I justify my feelings with the insight that genius often looks simple, but it is a hard way to reach it.

I think you can find appreciation for every type of hair style and also people who dislike it, but if the hair is in correspondence with your feelings it`s the best choice. Happy people are always the best partner for any kind of conversation.

I appreciate your stylist you told from. It`s a great thing that he really takes care of you, independent from cost calculations.
