I'm definitely going to cut my hair

[belenen]

I have decided it -- my hair is going to be cut shorter than it has ever been before. What I really want is to go down to about 2 inches long, but I still have to work with Ben on this whole thing... Just for comparison, right now my hair is over three feet long

You might also think of donating your hair to Locks of Love. They would need a donation of ten inches or more and then they use the hair to make wigs for kids who are suffering from cancer and don't have any hair or the money to have a wig fashioned for them.

I think it's definitely a good idea though, to get it cut. It'll be very symbolic and help symbolize the change in your life. Be prepared to feel a bit light headed when you first get it done and then shower. It's weird not to have that much weight on your head at first.

I've heard from many fellow long-hairs that Locks of Love isn't trustworthy... and I want to keep my hair because it means something to me.

The most I've had cut off before was 10 inches, and I felt like I was floating -- I can't imagine what two and a half feet would do!

[mabels]

i would also keep it =)

oh WOW, the first few times in the shower when i had gone from half way down my back to an inch and a half long... it was such an EXPERIENCE, i felt like i practically wanted to just... bathe... always, and keep washing my hair!

now that it's growing back out, i so miss that.

Physical change always make me feel like I am getting a fresh start when it comes with changes in life.

I hope everything goes well.
:)

thank you. ;-)

oh, how I would love to be there for the ceremony! Know that if/when you do it, that I will be, in spirit! I could sing a song!

I think it's a wonderful idea, and it's something that I also did after moving here, after my life took such a drastic turn from what it had been, and as i was turning into who I am today.

I've been thinking lately how different I am now from then. Actually, I think you and I met at the PRECISE perfect time. I don't think we would have clicked NEARLY as much back in my aubreystar days!

*hugs*

Cutting long hair off is so terrifying, I'm sure moreso for you, with your massive locks, than it was for me. But GEEZ, the feeling of FREEDOM afterwards.

In reading something I read that you had posted somewhere else, I had seriously thought about shaving my head for quite awhile.. maybe not BALD, but certainly very very short.

[belenen]

aww... maybe you COULD be here for the ceremony. You are going to come visit alariya and I sometime, right? I'm not cutting my hair until after my next photoshoot (on May 29th) so maybe you could come down? Anyway it means a lot that you want to be here.

I think we met at the perfect moment too. ;-)

I want to shave my hair... but Ben would be very very sad. And I mean that literally.

i had thought about cutting my hair in an a-line for my halloween costume (raven from the teen titans) as her hair is shorter in the back than the sides, which is how i had my hair for a long time as i was growing the layers out from when it was short and spiked (you can see her hair in this icon)

though i keep worrying that the second i do it, i'll be angry, as it has FINALLY grown out enough that i can put it into a ponytail again! so that would mean at least 3 months or so before it would be long enough to do that again.

though i feel i was meant to have short hair, that it fits my personality more, although before i chopped it and went blonde, i had had long hair my entire adult life.

[belenen]

heh. Kinda a 'moo point', thanks to the lousy stylist.

[belenen]

I believe that no action is trivial... especially if it makes a difference in your life. Thanks for sharing. ;-)

And thanks for the support/encouragement. *hugs*

I think that is so cool that you are saving your hair, I think you are going to look beautiful with short hair and it's great for a change. So fun and flirty :-)

[aubkabob]

[talkingpotato]
