"how short?"
"short"
"ok but HOW short, like...shoulders?"
"above my shoulders"
"ABOVE?!... chin?"
"i dunno. chin? maybe chin? i... i don't know. i dont have a picture or anything, i'm just going to let her use her judgement.."
chicago boy and unmarried guy glance at each other. that glance that you give to your friend, when you know your other friend is making a really bad mistake, but you dont want to come out and SAY they're making a mistake, so instead you openly cringe and make the face in hopes of talking bad decision friend out of said mistake.
"WHAT?!?!!!"
"nothing."
"what? whatever y'all. i'm super cute with short hair. you just don't remember because i havent had it in a long time. remember college? i had short hair in college..."
the look.
"ok well that's a bad example. but...whatever. i'm totally cute... seriously. I AM!!!"
"well. you might be cute. but you're not hot."
"i'm not hot WITH long hair"
"well.....
you're definitely not hot without it."
"whatever. shut up. i'm totally cute. i'm chopping it."
"yeah well...its your funeral."
friends are awesome.

i say cut it, but i have short hair myself . Cutting it can feel extremely liberating! and you can be hot with short or long hair...i find actually i look BETTER with short hair and whenever i try to grow it out, people encourage me to get it cut again.that being said, try to have some pictures of styles you have in mind and go with someone you really trust. GOOD LUCK!!!

Cut it. It will grow back. Andm ight as well cut it REALLY short. Doing very daring things shows extreme confidence, and that's always hot.

Hair is meant to be given trial and error...like the majority have said, it grows back! I just did the haircut thing a couple weeks ago...my traumatizing moment was when they told me I had to style it completely different since I'm a curly head!

I've been playing with the same plan for a while. But then I remember that my hair is wash and wear and will I be a slave to the dryer and the products when I cut it - I don't know how to use product!?!

Cut it. the great thing about hair is it always tends to grow back if you hate it :-). I think it's fun to change the hair every once in awhile. I sound a lot like you as every other day I am like, I'm cutting it. No, I'm growing it longer. Now I have these "long bangs" which really are just in my eyes all the time...but it's different anyways. Have fun cutting (if you do it).

Personally, I think you're hot with the long hair...

Well, did you cut it?I don't understand guys and hair. I mean, they tell us we're so hot when we have long hair yet I'm still sitting here single and all. But the second I mention cutting off my hair, they freak out and say I'm so hot. *Sigh*

I love the show Felicity. She didn't look great with the short hair, but she didn't look terrible. I'm nervous for you. Just don't get a Mommy cut. We're not THAT old yet!

Remember the show Felicity? Gone- all because of a haircut.

do what you want. trust me. once you get married, your husband will care more about your hair and its length than you do and you may never feel unguilty about cutting your hair ever again.what is it with guys and the hair??? why do you guys care so much?

If you want to cut it, you should cut it. It's your hair. I've never understood why some guys care so much about the length of hair. It's just hair.Of course, I'm not really in the position to judge hair as mine is rapidly abandoning me.

Eh, cut it. If you don't like it, it will grow...but you MUST MUST MUST post a pic! and "hotness" is all on the inside, my friend!

I did the really short thing awhile back and I got SO many compliments on it. It was a great feeling and I think everyone should go short short and see if they like it. Although I did have to use products I would be out of the shower and ready to go in literally like 5 minutes.

At least you have a choice. Many men don't have that option due to 'Corporate America'. I was out of that setting for a couple years and it was kind fun 'letting my hair down' so to speak. I figured it would be one of the only times I would be able to give it a shot.So I was Thor for about a year and a half. Now I'm back to the 'short & sassy' look.So just stick your tongue out at your friends and do what you want.

i was originally leaning with Stronger -- she's made a strong case re Felicity -- she generally has more heightened thoughts than moi only because she lives at a higher altitude...now, i'm thinkin' you should just shave your entire noggin' -- 'cause then you'll find out what men are really into you... for you.hold the fort soldier.don't do anything rash. i know how you worship what i write.post a picture of you in your swim cap, THEN we'll tell you whether you should go the shaved head route or not...ok, i'm back with Stronger... you're about to do a Felicity.WAIT! did Carrie Bradshaw ever chop her hair on S&TC?no need to thank me, i'm here to help.

Cut it...and do some good! I think it's long enough that you can give it to one of the wigs for cancer programs. You have a pretty enough face that short will look good on you.

LOVE YOUR BLOG!!!Cut it--it will grow back and sooner than you realize. I love having short, short hair for Summer. It took seconds to dry, didn't get in my way when I ran. I think it's a great idea!

i say do it. if nothing else, it might make you faster. mine has to go pretty soon here. it's to the point where it sticks out through the vents in my helmet when i ride and makes little devil horns in my shadow.

If I lived near you we could go together. This long hair does NOT go with hot weather and marathon training. Short is good!

Men! WTF?!? I mean... really.I cut my hair SUPER short once... like Sharon Stone has it. I didn't look like Sharon Stone...dammit. And, I didn't date the entire time my hair was short. Coincidence? I think not. I don't agree with it, but there it is.

Short curly hair is tricky -- for me it brings back memories of fellow 7th graders asking me if I meant to have an afro! Be absolutely sure you trust your stylist, and that it goes with your face shape.And hey, if it works, all the more power to you! I thought short-hair Felicity looked really cute!

locks for love wants 10 inches minimum (just fyi for ya there). i was in the salon last week when a little girl with loooong hair asked for a short short bob (like above her chin bob). the mom cried when they cut it but they donated it to locks for love. i kept telling the mom "what a great story for her memory book" (the mom was going to keep a lock for her album) and she just cried because her daughter wanted to cut off her hair. some people are just funny about hair.whatever you do, take pics!
