Hey everyone, this ISNT stephanie, but i`m using her computer and dont want to log her off :-)
I usually keep my hair ferily short, but after my lates dying frenzy, my hair is breaking off and looks HORRIBLE... i`ve had it! i am SERIOUSLY contemplating just getting a buzzcut and going SUPERSUPERSHORT.
what do you guys think? how many girls do you see running around with the same cute Demi Moore had in "GI Jane"? I have the same face as her, so I think it could totallywork...
Give me your input!
Thanks!
lisa

Lisa, I have actually seen more and more girls doing this exact thing lately. It seems kind of strange, but at the same time, kind of cool. I will have to admit, I am a fan of shorter hair, but this might be kind of drastic. I would make sure you are very confident of yourself before you do it. I also know many people that would pay good money to cut it for you. How long is your hair now?

Hi,

I think this may be way too drastic. Yes, when hair is damaged it works best to have the damaged part cut off but I have had many emails from people who went all the way and had all the hair cut off and regretted it almost immediately. I also read that Demi absolutely hated her hair that way and only did it because she was being paid a lot of money to act in the movie.

While I believe everyone should do what they need to do for their own hair, I think you should go with a shorter crop or pixie look that will remove all the dead hair but still give you options. When all the hair is gone, there is nothing you can do at that point but hope it grows back.

Well, that`s kind of it... I already have a short pixie :-) (of course, its getting shorter as more of it breaks, but I digress....)

I saw a girl with a bleached buzz cut and it looked great! She is a hairdresser and they used #2 clippers all over her head except to leave the bangs a bit longer in the front. All she had to do was wash her hair and spray it with a cheap hairspray (she said Rave) while pushing it up into spikes. I really considered it but chickened out at the last minute. My hair is very fine and I wasn`t sure it would stand up correctly. But go for it. Hair grows.....

Lisa,
I am the first guy to reply to your post. I am a big fan of short hair. I think if you want to do it, then definitely go for it. I think you should clip it super short and let it grow back. It will be healthier and more manageable after it has grown back in. I bet you will love it. If any questions email me with your response.
