I love experimenting with my hair, and when I want to change my look, I ask my boyfriend his opinion on how he thinks i should get it cut. All he tells me is that it doesn't matter to him, it's my head and i'm the one who has to live with it. I totally understand that, but I wish he would just suggest. I've even thought about asking him to go to the salon with me, but i'm afraid he'll say no. An opinion isn't that much to ask for. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks!Hi Laurie,I don't know your boyfriend (and can't speak for him) but it seems to me that he has made it clear that he really does not care what you choose to do with your hair. The question seems to be, do you accept that he doesn't wish to express an opinion?Hope this helps,Dave

I had it cut to above my shoulders and he complained that there wasn't enough for him to play with. So, could it be that he's afraid to voice his opinion? If so, how do i get it across that I need to? And may i ask how old you are?thanks

You know his preferences (length pastthe shoulders), and you're looking for a change, and the two are notincompatible! Hair below shoulder-length is very versatile and youhave many choices. Try learning some updos and braiding techniques.Maybe he'd like to help. Encourage him. And there are scores ofstyles you could try, even some examples here at HB in the gallery.I'm in my 30's...Hope this helps!Dave
