My sister and some friends think I'm getting to old to have such long hair. I'm 41, but most people think I look 30. I'm tall and feel having long hair balances me out. Plus I get so many compliments on how pretty it is. I think my sister and friends are jealous. I really dont want to cut it. I hate having short hair. its so thick and wavy and will just curl if I cut it, making it harder to do anything with. Whats the public opinion.

Keep it long if that is how you feel best. Why listen to others? If you want, you can put it up! I never had waist length hair, but it was pretty long and a few years back I cut it very short for a change. It made me look like someone I didn't know! Sometimes I liked it, but it wasn't me. For the first time I started to feel my age when I looked at myself--late 30's.
Just make sure you keep the ends trimmed nicely so they don't look thin and so you don't have that dried out straw look at the ends.

i have the same hair but iam not as tall i have been debating on cutting mine and have many people giving me opinion personally i sick of thier opinions. i keep mine trimed at all times and make sure to use good conditioners and it is healthy, if i did get a hair cut i was thinking a little below the bra and layered around the face but not too short because it is naturally curly and don't want to look like a clown, anyway if you do decide to cut go to a salon that donates to locks 4 love if the salon doesn't you can go to thier website and get all the info on how to mail it in. Good luck in whatever you decide and remember most guys love long hair and it's usually the women that say you should get it cut.

Wow, you're very lucky to have such beautiful hair! Why not cut some and donate it to locks of love? They don't accept colored hair, and naturally blond hair, though common in children, is so rare in adults. The minimum donation is only, 10" so you wouldn't have to go super short, and you could start growing it again right away.
No one will heckle you over long hair if they know you're growing it for a good cause.

Don't cut it off just because your sister and friends tell you to. If you like your hair, and keep it healthy then don't cut it. If you decided to cut it I would say only about 6 or 7 inches, so you still have the length but it may be more managable

You don;t need to cut it short! But having such long hair is unhealthy (speaking from experience!). Look at the ends - they are probably dead and split. So how about compromising, and cutting it so it goes halfway down your back? Everybody would still classify you as "long hair", and if it's pretty it will still be pretty, just healthier. And you could have it styled....

If you do decide to cut your hair there are places that will take the cut hair and use for wigs. The wigs are then used for Cancer patients. Might be something to think about if you do part with it.
There might be some place in your area that you can get in contact with about donating it. At least you would be doing it for a good cause and helping others in return.

I think you should do what you like. If you really like you hair long leave it. If you think you would like a change then maybe cut off 6 in or so. It won't take long to grow back if you don't like it. I have a friend who grows her hair to her waist and then cuts16 inches for locks of love every 3 years or so.

I would consider cutting it (don't just cut it donate it to locks of love). Your is so long you could still have a shoulder length style after donating. Going short would be too drastic for you all of a sudden. This way you can try a shorter style without making a huge commitment, you can also decide from there if in a few months you want it to be shorter. You can always ask for more to be taken off but it takes longer to grow it out.
Getting some style to it is important rather than just having long hair.

it incredibly is gonna take incredibly some years i could say. the longer it gets, the slower hair grows. the a million/2 inch difficulty is in hassle-free terms a gauge. it does not inevitably recommend it will strengthen at that value continuously. it incredibly is recommended to contemplate conserving it long for a pair of years then straighten them and get some extensions. it will incredibly be an greater handy and swifter thank you to get that length. straightening you hair 'makes' it longer cos you have have been given waves. and the extensions isn't that high priced considering the fact which you hair could desire to be approximately mid decrease back. as for me, i've got not got the endurance to maintain it starting to be and starting to be and starting to be so i shop mine longer than medium length and merely comprehend human beings's long hair! stable success!

I wouldn't cut it off if I were you because short hair only makes you look taller. I would keep the long hair and just style it in different ways so that your not always seen with the same look. Good luck! = )
