Long Hair... Don't care

The more weight I lose, the more I think about cutting my hair short. I've always kept it long because it hid flab and camel humps and everything else. Thinking since I'm getting lighter, so should this hair. Anyone else went shorter after your weight loss? Were you happy with the change?

    Personally I relate hair length to age. Just my opinion but very few older folk pull off long hair

    Personally, I don't think long hair hides nearly as much as some women believe it does.

    I've had short and long hair both at my heaviest weights (270-307) and I truly think that for me I looked a bit thinner with short hair than I did with long. I typically get a lot more attention & compliments etc, when my hair's very short. Right now I am trying to grow it out which is a grueling process.

    I think hair is a fun thing to play around with...long, short, or anything in between...color, style, etc. It is *relatively* easy to change if you don't like it. Especially if you have been thinking of a change for quite awhile...may as well go for it!

    I just cut off all my hair and dyed it :/ I regret the colour, lol but don't mind the length. Luckily my hair grows really fast.
    It's only been about 3 weeks and I'm already planning to get my original colour back :p

    Last time I tried to lose weight I chopped off all of my hair. I went really short. It was nice, but I ended up growing my hair back again. This time I am just doing a lot of braids.

    I really like having hair and although it's just now shoulder length, I look forward to feeling it brush my butt again.

    Long straight and blunt is where it's at.

    Do what works for you. And a short haircut will grow back.

    When it gets warm, I sweat enough in the gym to have to wash my hair each time I exercise, and I train 6 days a week; sometimes twice a day. I need short hair so it will dry fast. But I left it grow out come fall.

    You can still donate it if it's been dyed as long as it hasn't been bleached.

    I regretted the one time I cut my hair short. And just about any short style I tried made my cheeks look fatter than they were. Just did not suit me at all. So I keep my hair layered and at least shoulder length, but usually longer. Right now its mid-back.

    I think long/short being related to age as someone else suggested is getting to be a bit outdated view. You should do what flatters your features. A good stylist would be able to help you decide.

    My hair is currently the longest it's been in about 16 years and I'm not cutting it off again. Just a trim here and there.
