What do you think of my super long hair?Cut it or keep it?

Question

I have very long hair that almost down to the floor.I haven't cut my hair for almost 12 years.Luckily,my hair is very healthy and black.I never perm it or dye it.I keep my hair nature.I usually put my hair into a big bun with a stick,sometime I put it into a single braid.

Many female friends told me that I need a big change.Most of them wanted me to try some bob style.They told me that my hair was too long ,hard to manage,and out of fashion. I have deep feeling for my long hair because I have kept it for such a long time.But on the other way,I am a little tired of the same style all days.Many shorter sytles of my friends are also very attractive to me.But my husband loves my hair very much.He likes to comb it or wash it for me.

It is hard for me to choose now.What do you think of my super long hair?Cut it or keep it?
My husband let me to choose.Even I choose cutting it.He wanted me to cut it to bob.Because he wanted to keep the entire length of hair for me if I wanted to cut it.
Please give me some advice.Thanks.

Answer 1

Ooooo, now this is difficult to answer. Your hair is very impressive!! I used to have long hair, no way as long as your, it was only below my bra strap. I had my hair cut into a bob. I loved it at first but then I grew to kind of regret it. It annoyed me because I couldn't tie it back. It's grown enough to tie it back now though and I quite enjoy how easy it is to manage being short but also long enough to get it out of my face and have a bit of a pony tail. Now I have a fringe and some feathered bits at the front to give me a bit of a style. It suits my lifestyle as I am very boyish and love sport, so long hair would get in my way. I would imagine you find your easy to look after because you have done it for so long and your husband helps. It must be really nice for you when your husband washes and combs it for you, that is really lovely. Ultimately this is entirely your decision though, with no influence from your friends or husband either way. I'm interested to see what everyone else says. X :)

Answer 2

Super Long Hair Cut Short

Answer 3

Long hair can be amazing! You can do so many hairstyles with it that people with short or medium length hair can't. If you want I'd trim it so that it reaches the middle of your back, because hair that reaches the floor kind of grosses me out D: You should do a fishtail braid with your hair! It makes it look a little shorter and it looks super cute on anyone :) In my opinion, DON'T CUT IT! But if you're in your 30's or over, I'd say go for cute shoulder length hair. Bobs are so annoying to take care of but they are also a cute hairstyle.

Answer 4

wow. Um... a few years back, i did a locks of love thing. It was down to my butt. When I saw my new cut, i loved it. Now, my father, being the nice, sweet chap he is, told me the only reason I did it was because they gave you a free haircut if you donated hair. Plus, he didn't even have the balls to tell me I looked nice. yeah, yeah, you look ok. I haven't cut my hair since because I hated it. One little comment can do that to you. Nobody even noticed what i did. To answer your question, I would try a small change. Like halfway down your back? Nothing super duper short. That way, if you don't regret it, it won't be too short. There's nothing worse (beauty wise) than having a haircut you hate or regret. and if you like it, and feel brave, you could go a little shorter. I'm sorry. I vented a lot more than I should have and do consider locks of love. It felt good to do something like that

Answer 5

Hi I could not get onto your picture but your hair sounds beautiful, i would not cut it all off straight away i would cut it too waist length, and then just keep cutting it until it gets shorter and shorter, to have it all cut into a bob will be very drastic for you. I remember when i had my long hair cut short and i hated it, but now my hair is short because i got used to it. Just take it gradual. And then when it is shoulder length go for it.

Answer 6

Although you have had your hair for a very long time, I think you should cut it. All good things must come to an end.



I don't suggest styling it into a bob, because if you don't like it, you're stuck with it for a long time. But maybe cut it so that it is just below your shoulders. That would look great. :)

Answer 7

Let me preface this by saying that you have BEAUTIFUL hair. It looks extremely healthy :) My opinion is to cut it about mid-back length and have it layered. Don't do long layers, go for the short layers. It will make your hair look fuller at such a long length. I think it would look great! That's just my opinion. Oh, and when you do cut it, donate it to Locks of Love. They make wigs for people who have lost their own hair to Cancer. If you end up hating it remember that your hair will grow back :)

Answer 8

Oh wow! Don't cut it; I'm so jealous!

Instead, just get long layers, so that it's easier to comb your hair, and so that it isn't too heavy. But keep it the same length.

Besides, your friends aren't very nice if they tell you things like that. Besides, they follow trends. Practically no-body has the same hair as you, so you're setting the trend ;)

I think they're just jealous and want to ruin your hair.

Answer 9

I can not get the picture to come in to me. I believe that if you cut it all off at one time, you will experience emotional trauma. I have cut long hair short and found it to be quite a shock.



Cutting it in stages and giving yourself time to adjust to the new length is the best way to go. You might go for having it cut to your waist and see how you feel about going any further.



I can see that you might need a new style, a new lift, but please don't cut it all off. I really believe you will regret it.

Answer 10

I think you should cut it but only like to your waist or belly button.

But you know the bob wouldnt look that bad. I just prefer long hair because thats what im doing.(:

Answer 11

Cut it above your hips..

your female friends are partially right

long, long, long, long hair isn't in style but long hair is

above the hips is still pretty long, which is good for your husband to comb and wash.. :)

hope this helps

Answer 12

I don't think a bob would look good on your face shape but you should definitely go a little shorter, about mid torso.

Answer 13

Cut it to about the middle of your chest so you look more adult. Long hair tends to make people either look a lot older or a lot younger! :) My hair is at my waist but that's because I look rediculous with short hair.

Answer 14

First of all, you have beauuuuuuutifulllll long hair. I like it long and it suits you well. So, i think you should cut it a little maybe so it isn't so long, like up to your waist. : )

Answer 15

I prefer hair which is shoulder length or longer, And also since that men who like ladies are more often then not right, they like long hair because this looks more feminine, as most males have short hair.

Answer 16

I think a layered, hair cut will look great!

Answer 17

It looks really heavy! Its really nice! If I were you i'd keep it but i'm only saying that cause my hair is short and I hate it. Keep it it is lovely.

Answer 18

Answer 19

Answer 20

Well i say you should keep your long hair and keep it so long that at last you can have a perfect hair like kelly kelly. and you can surprise them.

Answer 21

I think that you should definately keep it. Long hair is super pretty :)

Answer 22

You should be retained,very beautiful hair,

Answer 23

Cut it like mid-back length.



BTW, you have gorgeous hairr.

Answer 24
