I like dramatic haircuts. I'm not a person with a standing appointment every two months; I cut it at my discretion. I do not color my hair at all, which allows it to stay healthy for a longer period of time.
I'm usually good and decisive about these things, but I have wrestled over what do next:
Should I just cut some long layers; good for the beachy Jessica Simpson waves look? Or opt for short, summer-heat friendly ease? I scrolled through pictures from my college years the other night (read: all of them) and almost had myself convinced that short would be the way to go.
Pictures of the short-haired me; three summers ago:
My friend BF has an adorable bob that I am envying at present. Her hair is always perfect and put-together looking. Of course, when I told her I was considering cutting mine, she said WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!
So maybe there are some mixed feelings?
My family is definitely entrenched in Long Hair Camp, and for now, so am I. I have started soliciting opinions and people tell me they like it both ways; remaining safely neutral.
Let's face it- I'm all talk. I'm not sure that the instant gratification would be worth the sacrifice at this point.
Life is an endless struggle full of frustrations and challenges, but eventually you find a hair stylist you like.

While short hair can look cute, fun and flirty. I opt long, it's okaty to cut your hair but maybe not so much, just a little, add a bit difference and cute the front shorter. Only cut your hair short if you're 100% convinced about it. Like me, I'm tempted, but I know I'll get bored after 3 weeks, short hair never means femininely sexy :(
I'm having the same dilemma. I've had my hair long for the last few years, and I suddenly want to get it cut short.
If my hair is long, I seem to want it short...and if it's short, I want it long. :)
I am a long hair girl - the last time I had short hair I was 8 and my Dad had cut it. Much too short. Although it does look cute on some people, I will always have that traumatised 8 year old in me shouting "No, stay away from my hair!" Yours seems to look good both ways though!
I get what you're saying. I chopped mine probably about a year and a half or two ago. I usually have really long hair, but at the time I was getting bored with it, and like you wanted a fun short haircut. So I did it. And I liked it and had fun with it. My family and a lot of my friends were all about the long hair, but for the most part they got over it.
And now? Now I miss my long hair, so I'm growing it back out.
That's the thing with hair...it grows back.
And for the record the pics of your short hair are totally cute.
The age old question. Amy your hair grows like you are taking pre-natal vitamins. I say cut it and thrive off of the drama of a drastic cut. If you hate it, I will help you install Paris Hilton extensions.
The short hair is cute :) Maybe only cut it a little shorter if you aren't sure you want it short again?
I'm slightly biased though as my hair has always been short!
I remember those pictures :) I love your short hair, for the record. Hope you're well!
