I always watch that show: "What not to Wear", and I have noticed that most women that have long hair, kinda "freak out" when the hairstylist is getting ready to cut their hair, they don't want it cut even if it looks messy and with split ends! often the guy talks them into letting him cut it, but.... why are they so afraid of getting a hair cut? Why is it so important for some ladies to keep long hair?

It depends on the environment you've grown up in, my honey doesn't want me to cut my hair shorter, because he finds it not as attractive on women. However, I have red hair. And I mean, I'm attached to it, but it's just hair. I shaved it off 3 years ago for cancer, because I knew it would grow back, and it's not that important! A lot of women overexaggerate. It's like cutting it off makes them less of a person, and I know what you mean totally. I watch ANTM, and Jaeda's always freaking out cuz they cut off her hair! Geez! It's annoying lol! Hair isn't everything GIRLS!

Because 1) it took them a long time to grow it that long, and 2) long hair is a classic symbol of femininity. Some women may feel that cutting their hair will make them less "womanly"; others are simply afraid of change. It's out of their comfort zone. They're nervous that they won't look good with a new shorter hairstyle and they know there's no going back once you cut it! lol They felt "comfortable" w/the old style even though it didn't look that good. Others keep long hair out of religious belief; they think it's a sin to cut their hair. So there ya go; my dissertation on women and haircuts. LOL

I individually feel that older females can appear first-class with longer hair - its a loopy fantasy that senior females have got to have hair that's quick and gray. Look at a crowd of senior females and its all "quick - again - and facets" , and each and every coloration of gray. I like to stick distinct - blonde and lengthy is a first-class appear for me and I'll hold it so long as I believe well like this. I had my hair quick till four years in the past, while I bought married. Looking on the marriage ceremony pix, I proposal " why do I hold getting it reduce ? I hate it so quick ". And I simply stopped having it reduce. For the primary year I certainly not went close a hairdresser, simply bought my husband to provide it a tiny trim across the backside to hold it neat because it grew. Now it's under my shoulders - I have amusing placing it up in a twist or a bun, a ponytail or a plait. I purchase plenty of decorations for it, and I love this appear. I get a tiny trim as soon as each and every six months, and I watch the hairdresser like a hawk, to make certain that she does not lop off any further. Keep your hair as it's, Power. A quick reduce takes quarter-hour and also you would hate it for year !

Personally I have had a LOT of bad haircuts over the years. I have very curly hair and if it's layered or cut too short it becomes one giant clown poof. It took a long time for me to grow my hair this long and I son't want to have to go throught that again. Also, a woman's hair is considered part of what makes her sexy. If I got a haircut I didn't like I would not feel as confident in myself.

For a woman, a bad haircut is traumatic. It takes forever to grow out and the only way to fix it sometimes is to cut it even shorter. There is also comfort in wearing your hair the same way for a long period of time. You get used to fixing it a certain way. Like a favorite pair of sweatpants, they may not look good anymore, but you are comfortable in them. It is equivalent to that.

Our hair becomes part of our identity. We become used to having it a certain way. And apparently you have never experienced a postal stylist. Once while looking for a new stylist, I went to a recommended salon to get my shoulder-length hair "trimmed and thinned." I came out of the shop with no more than two inches of hair at the longest point! Not only did I show my a** when I threw a tantrum and refused to pay, but I spent months letting that humiliating hairstyle grow out. Yeah, I freak out now when I hear "snip snip" while my back is to the mirror.

Many men think of long hair as being feminine, and I've heard of a lot of men who get mad when their wives cut their hair short without asking, so I think they see it as a sign of femininity. From experience, short hair is actually a lot more work than long hair. But the big fear is the "bad cut". If you want to get it back to being long, you know that it will take at least 1yr for it to grow back. So it's the fear of wasting a year of your life looking different than you want.

because if she has hair down to her waist and they cut it to shoulder level it will take about a four-years to get it back there! Many women love that look of long hair. I'm game for anything as long as it looks good!

I agree with smcin728.
We get used to having it that certain way. It becomes who we are and that's how we're comfortable. Like last year, for example, I got used to wearing my hair back, and this year I got used to wearing it down. It's the same with haircuts.

For many woman, hair is almost like a Security Blanket. As a hairstylist I know many women are attached to their hair. Even if it is in bad shape, they still prefer it longer.
