Chop it off?

Question

I have an overwhelming urge to chop my very long hair off, but I'm afraid of change! My hair is like my security blanket, and I'm afraid if I cut it and I'm fat and pregnant I'll regret it.  Like in my mind at least if I have my long hair I'll feel okay, but then again my hair needs a good cut and if I hate it I'll be on maternity leave soon.  Anyone chop it off and regret it? Before and the after I want below

Answer

I'm a cosmetologist and this is what I have been taught. If someone wants to chop their hair all of the sudden then you need to be wary. A lot of times people regret that. Also I watch my clients to see how much they touch their hair while they talk to me. If it is something they do often then they tend to miss their hair more often than not. I do love the cut though. How long has your hair been this length?

Answer

I think drastic hair decisions are a huge mistake while pregnant, but that's just me. I chopped my hair off with my first and completely regretted it, but then it grew back longer and healthier than ever... So I didn't regret it a year later.

Answer

Don't do it!  I got a lob around 14 weeks and regret it.

Answer

I chopped 11 inches off after having our first baby! I never regretted it one bit! 💙

Answer

Don't do it!!! No.

Answer

I think the long is nice, if you're looking for a change, do the balayage and get some layers around your face. I bet that serves to scratch your itch for change :)

Answer

I think it's beautiful the way it is!  You're very pretty 😍

Answer

I just chopped my hair off. It was finally down past my shoulders again (longest since 2003) but i just had the sudden urge to chop it off again. It's a lil shorter than I wanted, but I know it'll grow out. Just don't go too short if you're not sure,  then you'll be less likely to really regret it.

Answer

My hair is much longer than yours - I have an appointment Dec 16 to chop it and I'm going above the shoulders.  It's just hair - it'll grow back if you don't like it.

Answer

I personally chopped mine off after my son was born. Hated it and felt fat! Two years later I had a baby girl and kept my hair long. Less maintenance and I feel more confident. To each their own! My hair takes forever to grow too
