I've decided to go pretty short with my hair. Now that I'm all pumped up to try something new, I can't get in for 2 weeks!!! :angry: I hate waiting!!!!!! :explode:

Plus, I'm afraid I'll chicken out before then. (tee-hee)

Ya'll doing anything different for the summer?

    I went short :sad:
    My hair was almost to my waist and now it's a little below my shoulders.
    Oh how I miss my long locks!
    But it's so much easier and faster to do my hair now so no regrets!

    Go for it girl!!!

    I normally keep my hair really short (like off the neck short). I'm thinking about letting it grow to maybe shoulder length.

    Ive had my dreadlocks for 6 years, and i cant imagine cutting them anytime soon! BUT
    i have entertained the idea of short haircuts, knowing that when i do decide to, I will have to chop it all off. So i commend you for having the courage...i cant wait to see some pics of that awesome do! im sure you wone chicken out :)

    I love having short hair - I usually keep a chin-length bob. :love: Every time I try to grow it out I end up cutting it!!! This summer I went SUPER blonde which is new to me! :noway: I was like "who is that" every time I passed a mirror but now I love it - especially now that I'm getting tanner! :glasses:

    I say GO FOR IT!!! Don't back out! It'll be weird at first but once you give it a couple days ( I say about a week) you'll love it!!! :flowerforyou:

    I'm going to get my hair colored and highlighted in June sometime. My family is making me gray!! I can't stand it! My husband says "I like it, it makes you look distinguished" Hello???? Am I a 65 year old MAN??? Time to do something about it!
    Might just get it tidied up a bit, it starts to look a little scraggly and I want it to be a good haircut for my sis inlaws wedding in July!

    I chopped all of mine a few weeks ago! Cut about 9" off. It is now short enough to leave it down in uniform, which is SOOOOO nice in the mornings. I just wish it didn't curl when it was short!

    I got a bob the last time, but I miss my layers. My hair is thin & has as much curl as straw so the layers give me a little bit of body anyway. Everything is big, but my hair. :laugh:

    Yeah, I like a bob for that reason - makes your hair look thicker. My hair is fine but I have a lot of it. People always think my hair is thick with a bob... I usually get it stacked in the back, not a traditional bob. Anyway, good luck! However you do it I'm sure you will love your sexy summer hair!

    P.S. It helps for me that my Hubby thinks short hair is SUPER SEXY!!! He loves being able to see a woman's neck and shoulder lines... I mean "my neck and shoulder lines" haha! If I had a man that only wanted my to have long hair I don't think we'd see eye to eye!!! Haha!!!

    GO FOR IT!! that is the best thing about Hair - it grows back!! :smile:

    I am cutting mine too as soon as we get back from this wedding next week - it is all being cut off. I am going to do very similar to what FitKB described - stacked in the back, short bob-type thing....and add some blonde in too!!

    My vote - Keep It Long!

    I am so partial to longer hair!

    And I know it probably is warmer, but I would even learn how to do pony tails and braids for a significant other to keep it longer!

    My hair is almost down to my waist...it has long layers and I just got it colored and highlighted. It's auburn with strawberry blonde highlights and I straighten it sometimes, and sometimes I just let it curl up.
    Short hair is NOT a good look for me, so ponytail here I come!

    Well, I think I will deffinately be having at LEAST 8 inches cut off of mine soon. My hair is down to my bum and to be truthful I rarely wea it down because it is so long , so whats the point right. I still want it longish, be able to put it up when i wish and leave it down without dieing from heat exhaust. I wish I could find a locks of love salon around here I'd do the 10-12 inches and donate it.

    I just had my cut a little above shoulder length with layers. I love it, flips up when I don't blow it under. Actually, Shannon, it looks almost like your picture, just a tad shorter and stacked just a bit.

    Any salon can should be able to cut it for you. I had to mail it in myself. If you go on the locks of love website they tell you how to do it. It is quite simple. I am cutting mine in June and donating it. I want to do it before I go on vacation so I can color it before I leave. I don't need my mom to tell me how gray I am! :grumble:

    I don't really want to CUT my hair, but I think I might try going blonde. That would be a huge change, but I might just do it! Lol. I'm a college student, so while i'm home for the summer I can kind of mess with it and stuff and no one I go to school with will see it if it's horrible lol. Right now my hair is a dark auburn. Wha.... I keep changing my mind, but I just think, if I did change it like that and it really worked out great and I lost weight, when I went back to school this could be like a huge makeover to show my friends... haha.

    When my son was born (3 yrs ago) I had long hair...down past my shoulders, but those little baby fingers kept grabbing it OW!
    So I got it chopped to my chin, then WAY short that I could spike it up in the back...
    Now it's chin length again and I am hoping to grow my long hair back!

    Okay... ~smiling~ I would need to be convinced though!

    There are certain Women out there that SOOO can get away with short hair!

    I guess its all about Charisma! If one has that, they can get away with any kind of hair!

    Dreads :wink:



    It depends. I've dated girls with hair down down past their gluteous maximus (which is nice except it really becomes a problem when things get....well 'intimate') to the Sinnead O' Conner look ('Nothing compares to yooooooooouuuuu!).

    I think it all depends on the girl. I'm really not picky. So, my official answer is:

    E. Yes. I like hair on my galfolk....unless they don't have hair, then I don't prefer hair on my galfolk.

    (This isn't a copout answer by the way, I actually don't prefer short over long. Heck, my hair has been all lengths of the spectrum, why can't the ladies?)

    Hugs!

    I would go short if I could.....I have WAY too much hair to do that.....I have tried and will NEVER, NEVER do it again as it just kinda juts out behind me. But if I could go short and have it look nice, I would do it without hesitation. I really like where it's short in the back and a little longer in the front....really cute. Plus, if you decide you don't like it, it will always grow back.

    Sarge, You never mentioned where you wanted them to HAVE hair. Are you saying you want "GalFolk" with chest hair only? Arm pit hair? Uhmmmm... not going to go there in this forum hair? In any length? ~scary look~
