gementI want to chop my hair off. I want a slightly shaggy boy cut. I want to send the braid off to Locks of Love. I currently have about 14" long, braided, so even longer ponytailed.
I want to know how long the waiting period should be on a decision like this.
I want to know if you think it will look good.
I promise not to take anything you vote too seriously.

With my cut (which seems similar to what you want) I usually just wash and wear, and with my chronic habit of finger-combing, it turns out great and a little messy. I can also dress it up. It can look sensible, sensuously disheveled, punk rawk, flippy, cute, or just plain messy. Warning: you may have to learn to use accessories! I'm a big fan of headbands. You might also want to cultivate a side part rather than middle (totally opinion on my part, do what you like). I want to come play with your new hair!!!

Date: 2005-03-15 09:48 pm (UTC)I don't want it to look all chicky, though, and I don't want it to look WRONG once it's grown out half an inch. I want simple.

Date: 2005-03-15 09:00 pm (UTC)I wish I had the courage. Alas, it is not so. But if you can see yourself doing it, and your a little bit scared but more excited about the outcome, do it. It *does* grow back. And now's the time in life to do something a little crazy with it (since in your 80's, it probably won't sound nearly so appealing.) You are braver than I! Cut it and dye it BLUE!
(...the blue part is optional...but that would be kind of cool...:::snicker:::)

Date: 2005-03-16 12:55 am (UTC)I didn't go for "short" hair, though. I had it long enough so that when 12" were cut it was still below my shoulder blades. I was thinking about doing it again this year, because I now have enough again. Hubby wants me to keep it this long, though.
I much prefer having long hair, but mine isn't as heavy/thick as yours. I also tend to do a variety of things to it that I couldn't do if I had short hair.
With long hair:
I like not having to frequently get it cut
You typically don't need to use "products" in it
It's fun being topless but being able to cover up with flowy hair
Bad hair days are less common because the weight of the long hair keeps everything more neatly down... you never get that awful stick-up-in-one-spot slept in problem that can happen with shorter hair.
If you do go for short or shorter hair... I could picture something a more sassy on you than a shaggy boy cut (or at least, what I am picturing as shaggy boy cut). Get something that really works with your face and features and it could look great.

Date: 2005-03-16 03:14 am (UTC)Girl, I promise that if you cut even a single hair I will sneak into your bedroom at night and glue each and every one right back in place.
Well, maybe not glue, but braid, splice, weave, sew, nail, staple... you get the idea. Actually, I -do- like to chew gum... this would be better than flushing the remains away.
Capish?

You are like mispelled gum right now - VERY babeilicious (and here I go, rolling those eyes right back at you).

Date: 2005-03-16 11:11 pm (UTC)At any rate, I'm sure you'd agree that sometimes wearing a mask makes the game ever so much more fun. But here's a hint: you -do- know me, though you may think that I resemble a matter/anti-matter reaction streamed through a dilithium matrix at /\(t) < 0. Or a water-soaked floor for that matter.

Re: Your hair
Date: 2005-03-16 11:42 pm (UTC)Sorry, but I know so many people that it's really hard to guess by writing style alone. And I'm not taking anything here seriously, but there are some people whose sense of taste usually matches mine, and some who are usually opposite me, and I'm taking that into account when I read the opinions.
Also, if I know you, we're probably not in current touch, and I'd probably like to catch up on how you're doing. Drop me a line at the LJ e-mail address if you like.

Date: 2005-03-16 12:37 pm (UTC)I just don't know what kind of good.
Getting a drastic, but good (read: expensive) haircut has always been nothing but cathartic for me personally. You should definitely have some sort of idea of what you want, though, going in. And I don't know what would be good for you as a short/medium hairstyle, because I can't picture you with anything other than what you've always had (to me).
I'd be interested in the results, if you do go through with it.

Date: 2005-03-16 05:14 pm (UTC)I guess my only question is, why do YOU want to wack all that hair off for the poor bald people. Altruism? Irritation with long hair (I dig that one)? Random wackiness? As always, I advise knowing why you really want to do something before doing it, and then do it whole-hearted. (which is terribly hypocritical, considering my track record. But do as I say, not as I do!)
All that aside, are you going to come to my birthday dinner on the 25th? It's at Claimjumpers near Southcenter. You can bring your new man if you need to. Let me know, I make reservations this weekend. ^^

Eh. Still chewing on it. I'll give you a call about the dinner, thanks for letting me know!
