Answer 1

I know excatly how you feel! I have a hair cut on wednesday and i wouldn't say i have really long hair but its pretty long. I'm thinking about having it cut a to my shoulders and that will be a big difference.

IF you don't try anything knew you'll always be wondering, but sometimes its so hard to take a big first step. What i would say is have about 3-5 inches cut off then if you realise you just can't live without your long hair, stop. But if you think after you could go a little shorter, have a little bit more cut off. Take it slowbecause you don't have to have it all cut off at once, there is no rush.

After all your hair is your hair and i'm sure you know, it takes LONGGGGGGGGG time to grow if someone messes it up, or you make a wrong desicion.

Hope this helps! Good luck! :)

Answer 2

iv got long hair down to my butt too! some times i feel like a change bt at the end of the day i realise that I'm lucky to have such long hair and most people that talk to me at the shops or wear ever that i don't no say how they used to have long hair then chopped it off and regretted it , so if u are a bit unsure just cut a little bit off it will make it look better if its strait and neat then u can think about it for a little bit longer
if u hate it when u cut it and have lots of money then just get hair extensions ......
I'm actually getting a fue different coloured ones in my hair for a change and so i don't damage my hair with bleach so their are allot of different things u can do if u want a change
k hope u make the rite decision

HI barrelracer64,

Go to a hair salon that has computer images with both long,short,dyed usually you can get 6 pictures at a time. Best to call around 1st to see who has this. I had long hair just before butt too, after the pictures of short hair that did it for me so I had it cut shoulder length & donated the other half for cancer wigs( real hair wigs). But I'll never go short-short ( hair that LQQKs like long hair guy) that would'nt be me. I had the computer image done in Bloonington,Minnesota. Good luck! :0)

Answer 4

There are actually not any 'magic' fixes for chop up ends. they might desire to be shrink off. If no longer, the hair will only shop breaking off. hit upon a reliable hairdresser, as quickly as you have had the 1st haircut you may desire to pass oftentimes, which for long hair might desire to be each and every 6 to eight weeks, short hair each and every 2 to 4 weeks.

Answer 5

OH JUST DO IT..you will love your self for it later. My hair was just past my bra in the back and I chopped it off to a shoulder length bob and it looks great and much more healthy. I also cut bangs in. I actually look younger and more sophisticated. The classic bob is the way to go. Less drying time. Then get you some high lights. Go crazy girl. You will feel like a new girl.

Answer 6

I think u should cut ur hair. Change is good 4 u. Even though u don't know which way to cut ur hair u can get a pic of u in a ponytail looking plain. then cut out some pics of magazines or get pics off the internet of hair and put the hair on ur pic 2 See what u'd look like. HOPE u like my idea. It worked for me. ANother good idea is put ur pic in a clear paper cover and draw hair on ur pic w/ a dry erase.

Answer 7

I used to have really long hair and I finally cut it. I loved how it turned out.

Just make sure you go to a really good stylist and before you let them cut it, be really clear what you want. Try bringing in a picture of the style you want.

Also, remember that it will turn out shorter than you think. Like, if you say you want 7 inches, remember that it will be shorter than your think.

Answer 8

if i were you i would cut it into layers first and if you like it shorter then i would go for the bangs. i have seen so many girls do what you are talking about and they always dislike the bangs. so if you cut the layers into it first and you are still wanting bangs get them done in a week or two, that way it is not so drastic. your hair will look so healty and fresh with layers, i hope you like it!

Answer 9

I cut my long hair a few days ago, I hate it but at the same time like it, if you feel like you need a change then you should do it. If I had it to do over again I would, it will grow back in a year or two.

Answer 10

Make sure this is what you really want to do. I mean do not go in to the salon with any doubt what so ever. I just cut my hair and now it's short and I hate it. Don't do anything drastic. Just cut a little bit at a time.
