I have real long hair down to my waist but I have worn it in a bun for 15 years.I have a very active job were I'm always running and moving. I need a change does anyone have a suggestion?
Something that is long enough that you can pull back and bangs long enough you can bobby pin or barrette them on the side. If you are used to being "bunned" it will drive you nuts to have things swinging in your face.
If you never wear it down, why keep it? If it's thick, get it layered. If it's thin and straggly, get it cut! Just because hair is long, doesn't mean it looks good! It has to look healthy for long hair to be attractive.
And Pitt transplant is right---if you're not used to loose hair, it WILL drive you nuts, at least, until you get used to it!
I used to donate my hair to Locks of Love, but then someone told me that they don't give the wigs to those who need them - they sell them!! Is this true? I've probably given 6 feet of hair away to them over the years, thinking I was actually helping someone. I need to cut my hair again, as it's getting too long, but I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it this time...
Sorry - as for the OP - it's hard to tell from the picture what sort of hair you have - straight, curly, thin, thick? You seem to have a round face, though, and I think a short hairstyle would look really good on you. Something super easy that you could just wash and go. I shaved my head years ago - after I had my second baby - and I LOVED it as it grew out. My hair had been down to my wasit for years and years, and then I just went into the bathroom and shaved it all off! It felt really great. Anyway - My favorite length as it was growing back out was when it was about two-inches long all over. It was just a short, shaggy, sexy "do". My hair is very thick and very straight, though. Not sure how old you are - but remember when Meg Ryan cut off all her hair and had that cute short haircut? It was like that but my hair in a cinnamon brown color. I think that would give you a really great update, but also be super easy to deal with on a daily basis.
Good luck! And also, just a funny note... I was working at a natural foods store at the time I shaved my head and as it was growing out people - customers at the store - would always ask me who my stylist was or where I got my hair done because they were trying to find someone who could do a cut like I had. LOL I would always get a kick out of their reaction when I would tell them what I had done, and that it was just growing out that way. Sometimes the back part got a little long so I'd hand my husband the scissors and ask him to trim it up back there (I could see to do it myself). I didn't want to endure a mullet while the top grew back out.
I did it! I had it cut like Debrah Norville off Inside Edition. It turned out real good and have even had some complements. Thanks so much for all your help.
