Honest hair opinion, Im a bit traumatized.

So for 13 years I have had very long & straight hair. All one length. Yesterday was my appintment to get it trimmed. I have always gotten 6 to 7 inches cut off every year. (it grows that much in a year) But yesterday I went in so fed up with not being able to do anything with it other than put it in a tail due the wind, that I opened my mouth to the girl who has been trying to get me to do something different to my hair for years. A trim turned into a hack with long layers.

I left the place in shock. Everyone I saw after that really liked it but the few people I really wanted to like it, didnt.. I do think its cute and it took a couple years off. It will be so much easier to deal with, but OMG I really cant believe I did this to my hair.

Im a little in shock and I believe if it didnt grow as fast as it does that id be in much worse shape right now lol. I have always had a major complex about my hair. I know men with hair as long as mine was who would never have butchered their hair. I think my real issue is there is one person who has made it very clear they dont like it and its the one person whose opinion really mattered.

So give me some honest opinions. I dont care if you say it looks like crap. As long as its the truth, It will be welcomed :weirdface

As a typical male who looks at girls constantly, I gotta say I love it.

Plus its hair, if you don't like it, it grows back, well not mine..i just keep losing more....is it the stress or the drinking lol i dunno.

I don't think there is anything bad about it! It looks fresher, more up to date!
I know it feels strange when you have a big change, but it looks great!

Well I like it and I am not just saying that. It is a little more hip than just straight. And you will be able to do some cool styling with it now other than just a pony tail. I also think that you would look good with some really long bangs swept over to the side. Kind of like that hot seductress look!!! :gj:


Let me guess...the one that doesn't like it is your significant other?? My husband LOVES the long hair and never wants me to cut it. I think it is more that they just don't like change!!

Well I have to say, and this is no BS. "I think it looks GREAT!!" :gj:

And I like all kinds of hair cuts on woman, from short to long.

Maybe the reason that the people close to you are not responding very well to it. Is because they are so used to the same old hair style.

Do your self a favor get all dressed up for a night on the town and see if they don't sing a different tune.

I like it :gj: It is always hard when the one person whose opinion really mattered has made it very clear they dont like it. It looks good and maybe it will grow on them. If you look at my profile you can see that I usually keep a longer beard. Every now and again I get tired of it and shave it off and start over. My wife hates it when I shave it all off and I always feel bad when I do it so I kinda know where you are coming from and feel your pain. Maybe it's just because they are used to seeing us a certain way. Not so much that it looks bad, we just look different. At least that is what I tell myself :D

I think it looks nice :gj:.

Well reading your post I thought it would be all chopped off short, heck you still have tons of length there! I like how it frames your face more than your longer style.

I really like your hair! I think it frames your face just beautifully! Don't feel to bad, I used to have very long hair also and I ended up getting most of it cut off. I didn't like it a first but now my hair is starting to grow back so it really isn't that bad after all.

ive had really long hair for as long as I can remember and Ive always been really sketchy with who cuts my hair but I also got all of mine cut off last night. I finally relized that hair is hair it grows back really quick lol. And I cant tell you how good it feels not to have it constantly in my face now lol
