female only To Cut or Not To Cut

[Guest Leslie2Lose]

There are only a few issues in life I have truly had to think about.

#1 WLS

#2 Moving out of my parents house at 22

#3 Buying a home

#4 Getting my hair cut

Why is #4 such a HARD decision? I have been growing out my hair for three years now and am not happy with it. I have a hair appointment tonight after work and I am torn on what to do. I always go in and she just trims it.

I'm ready for something different. Easy to manage and Fun. I'm on the way to a whole new me - I think a new haircut would be awesome.

Now what style? How short do I want to go? My hair is naturally curly. It would be great to put product in, blowdry and go. I fight the humidity so bad in south Georgia. My hair STAYS frizzy.

Why do I have to make this so hard!?

I really trust my hairdresser. Everytime I go in I just tell her she has total creative freedom. Hasn't bit me yet...

I would recommend going and getting one of those hair Styles mags and looking through it. Try to find something in there and see what your hair stylist thinks. I find a picture always helps!

I'm gonna go for it. I mentioned to people at work today I'm getting it cut off today. Almost all say I love your hair the length it is...I've had this hair and style (other than cutting it short once before) my entire life. I'm ready for a change! My face is getting thinner and I think a short do will look good...if I don't like it, I can always grow it out again! :-)

Thanks for your reply Nikki!

i say cut leslie~

4months post op i chopped off 13+inches & donated to locks of love. since then my choppy bob gets shorter & shorter and i LOVE it - especially in this hot texas summer.

my husband had a tad of heartburn me doing this - he loved my long auburn wavy locks - but they were just SO much and i realize i totally hid behind them as the weight packed on over the last 4yrs.

enjoy your weightloss w/a new look - :smile2:

I used to hide behind my hair too. I have a lot more options now that my face has slimmed down some! Good luck with your cut! I'm sure it will turn out awesome.:smile2:

Yea girls DH is going to have a COW! He loves my hair long Oh well, he'll live with it...I have no sympathy - lol

I think I've been hiding behind my hair as well. Thanks ya'll!!! I'll have to post a post-haircut picture :-)

Can't wait to see the pics!! My soon to be DH is actually what I consider the opposite of most men, he likes my hair short. Go figure?!..

I'm a bob girl...bobs look cute on me...I think you'd look good with a bob too :smile2:

[Froggi 4]

im thinking of getting my hair cut shorter...it's a longer all around even bob right now...think i might go shorter in the back and make the front ends longer like an extreme bob again...dunno yet though...I might :smile2:

oh and I want some bangs again I dont look good without bangs I have a big ass forehead

[Guest Leslie2Lose]

I'm thinking about going with a Shaggy Bob actually. Something about chin level and choppy. That way I can go curly/wavy or blow dry it straight...either way it'll be easy to style. I can't wear it straight now - I can put tons of products in and it'll frizz or part will be straight and part will be curly. It takes WAY too long to style.

I have a high forehead myself. I have bangs for all of two minutes while it is long - then I brush it back into my other hair...it's not worth the effort of trying to style them...they grow too fast. I can wear them with short hair - as long as they don't get into my eyes, that gets on my nerves.

90% of the time my hair is in a ponytail! lol

that's pretty much my style.

i have wavy hair - so the eintire cut is all done w/a razor so no blunt even'ness - very shaggy. back is shorter ; front comes down an angle below the chin. this works out so great if i want it wavy - no work; or straighten it out - takes 3 minutes....

btw - i swear i lost a lb or 2 after cutting the mop off:)

That's it! Decision made! If it'll take off 2 pounds, why not go pixie cut? maybe I could lose 3 pounds. :smile2:
