Should I get my long hair cut off??

Question

I have long blonde hair which is layerd, I love my hair but even with the layers it just seems to look boring and it just hangs there, with no real shape, Im thinking of cutting it in to a shoulder length bob but shorter at the back and cut in to my neck type of thing but im scared i will totally regret it as it has taken me along time to grow this hair, advice please

my hair is naturally curly but i use my good old ghd's to keep it poker straight

Answer 1

Here's a great plan: keep the length in the back, but get some long layers put in - it will look like you have a lot more hair, and you can still put it up or pony tail it when you want.

Long layers and a pretty hi-light would look really polished and sexy.

A bob may make your face look round- something to consider.

Get a trendy magazine and cut a few pictures out of hairstyles you like and take it to your hair stylist. They can tell you if a style will work for your hair type and facial features.

And- after all, it's just hair. Try something new just for fun. If you get compliments and encouragement from your friends, try something bolder next time!

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

You could just get a trim and put some more layers in to give it a bit more shape, Your could also try some of the tongs that curl your hair, that's what I use when I go out, you get really nice curls which you can grip up, it looks nice and stylish.

There are some hairdressers that will take a photo of you before you have your hair chopped, they put your photo up on a screen and then put different styles on top of you original hair to see if it suits you. Try that first, it might suit you it might not, Find out first before you do anything you might regret.

Good luck, whatever you do it will be the right choice, your hair will always grow back.

Answer 3

Procede with caution. If you go with the bob, go easy on the neck. Then if you want to grow it back, the process will be easier. Have you tried the virtual hair styles available in many malls and online? Are you experimenting with your current hair? Put it up, buy some great hairbands made of fabric, try a new part, that's the beauty of long hair; its so versatile, If you go with a new doo, enjoy it, work it, and don't regret it. It is just hair, and it will grow back.

I was in 3rd grade when my mom told me bout Locks for Love, a charity that makes wigs for ppl who go through the chemotherapy. And no lie, i grew my hair out lower than my butt! Then in the summer between 5th and 6th grade, I cut it 10 inches [cuz thats how much they like to get] and it was like 2inches below my shoulders. And then recently I had my hair at my shoulders and now its at the middle of my neck. I have no regrets cuz the short hair looks so much cuter on me and I've gotten sooo many compliments! And i'm 14 btw.

Answer 5

I use to have long blonde hair, but wanted a change and so got it cut off into a short bob which I really like, and im sure even if you didnt like it it would grow back soon enough.

Answer 6

i was the same as you and loved my long hair but thought it would look better in a bob to give it some shape, now it looks ok, but i really miss the long hair now its gone, the bob is so hard to style and you can only ever keep it the same, keep your long hair, or just get a new longer cut style, rather then having a really short cut like a bob

Answer 7

I've always had long hair. When I was 10 I had it all cut up to my chin and hated it but hey, it grew back and is long again.

A way of trying it, hold the very bottom of your hair in a really loose ponytail and then fold it back so it looks like a bob. If your face looks good with it, do it!

Loads of other things to try, highlights, low lights, feathering etc....

Answer 8

Get it off. Long hair is for schoolgirls. Get a grown-up style. It'll soon grow back. I have naturally curly hair too and straighten it. I had it cut in a short, straight style which looked great but I was really surprised when I washed it and it looked really nice curly too. Definitely do it.

Answer 9

yes! I had hair down to my but I could sit on it. It was puffy boring, out of control lol! I got it cut a little below my sholders and layerd more around my face. It looks great I love it now. I left it up to the hair stylist on what to do to my hair

Answer 10

It's only hair! I had waist length hair and gradually it has now ended up in a bob and it feels so much better. At the end of the day, if you don't like it you can always grow it back.
