How do I get the courage to get a short hair cut as a girl?
I am not really a fan of long hair yet I had my hair till my bra line at the back for a long time. I love experimenting with my hair and I did some of them once I started earning some money.I initially tried streaks. It was burgundy. I liked it. Some said that I'm flaunting while the others liked it.Later I had a little longer hair and I smoothened it. It looked wonderful and everyone complimented. Later, I realized how bad it looks when the effect fades away.I then quit everything and allowed the hair the way it was. However, reverse bob got trending and I wanted to try it out too. However I did some research before getting it done.Check your face structure. Some haircuts suite the round and some suite the oval facecut.Check the photos of the haircut you want to get done. Google gives you umpteen photos to go through the style.Remember, what looks good on photos may not comfortable in real life. An example of it would be the fringes in the front. It looks beautiful but it can get all sweaty and you need to set your hair often.Once you've evaluated all these, you may choose to go short!I'm sure many are gonna be shocked/surprised and comment about your looks. Some will like it. Some will ask you ridiculous questions. If you're an from an orthodox Indian family, you're open for an investigation from parents and aunts.All I said was, it's just hair and it will grow back. It will all die down in a week’s time at the max. Then you'll find the short hair comfortable.Sometimes, I do miss my long hair when I want to wear a plait. But it is easier to get ready everyday :)Good luck girl!This was my long hair from behind ( after a haircut though)And I ended up with this length after 6 months from the above photo
Should I finally cut my hair?
I've been growing my hair for the past two years or so, and have been getting that nagging feeling again that I should cut my hair. It's not the first time its happened though. I'm just wondering what everyone thinks, should I keep it long or make a change. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/KillerCheeto/5694_225344120343_551760343_7963977.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/KillerCheeto/me002-1-1.jpg
Urge to cut all of my hair off by myself.?
Okay so heres a little bit of a background for me.Im 20,i have an amazing 2 year old son and i suffer from depression,bi-polar & ADD(so says the past 3 psychiatrist ive seen).I was diagnosed as a teen.I thought i had grown out of it thinking it was just a hormonal thing all teens went through but apparently it wasn't.Granted im a 20 year old single mom but i cant imagine anyone in my same position feeling the urge to cut all of their hair off.Last year i had gorgeous hair down my back and i woke up one day and said,time for a change (considering i had a new beginning with moving out of home and all).I went straight to the salon and they all cheered me on as they cut it off.I felt scared but empowered.I felt alive and amazing to touch my head and feel Absolutely nothing.It was a boy short cut and everyone thought it looked great.It took only a week before i started regretting it.I hated myself for cutting it and i felt as if my sons father hated it too.I feel like he was ready to cheat because i wasn't the long haired girl he dated anymore.I took awhile to grow out and its still uneven and looks bad.We just broke up 2 months ago due to his own drug addictions and he just left to california 2 days ago.Since then ive been a Complete roller coaster of cluster f****** emotions.I mean..more than i USUALLY am anyways..I started a session of mania at work yesterday and came up with amazing ideas for the work place.Then i started cleaning my desk (it was already clean) and my mind ran 134678987 miles an hour.And then all of a sudden i had the urge to get my hair cut again.So i sat at my desk looking up pixie haircuts again.I texted my friend immodestly asking him to PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD convince me not to cut my hair.and he did what he could.After i realized i couldn't,i became extremely depressed.When i got home i couldn't move or play with my son.I felt exhausted! like my mind got burned out.Then the hair cutting urge came again and i had to put a hoodie on and cover my hair so i wouldn't get the temptation to lock myself in the bathroom and cut everything off.It pained me not to do it last night but i know its for the better.. Is this part of being Bi-polar?? has anyone else felt like this?? I know its time to get medicated because i have a mood disorder..but where is this hair chopping addiction coming from.I just feel like i should be completely bald. Omg i just realized i started ranting,im sorry!

Why is there an urge to cut my hair whenever I'm depressed? Is it a mental problem?
Assumption: “cut my hair whenever I’m depressed” means to take scissors to it wrecklessly/impulsively.If this is in fact what you mean then I’m glad you asked this question.It’s an interesting one that I’ve considered in the past.Hair, especially for women but for Men too is a marker of beauty, of good genetic gifts.If as I suspect that your depression has a “I’m not good enough, I’m ugly quality” to it or “I don’t deserve good things” flavour perhaps, then the act of de-beautifying yourself could be a physical manifestation of that belief.At least then in your irrational state, when you look in the mirror you see what you feel you should see, someone who has by ones own hand been made apparently imperfect.Confession: in my teenage years I had a fixation with my hair, it’s stuck with me all the way to present day at the age of 27 years old. I always felt unstylish, unattractive in general and felt that by controlling my hair style I could at least increase my attractiveness somewhat.The roots of this complex are complicated but years later, when my mood would spiral out of control, on two separate occasions I have shaved my head in a kind of mad and minorly self defacing act.It’s a kind of self rebellion.Conclusion: Whether you are a man or a woman, do some reflection when you find yourself in a slightly better place.It’ll be worth fifteen minutes of your time to meditate on this and see what comes to mind.What does your hair mean to you?What does changing it mean to you?Nothing is ever trivial in this life, everything we do ripples outward, the length unknown.Should you choose to meditate on this, good luck in your search.I promise you’ll find answers if you don’t give up.Michael Richard Junior.
I want to cut my hair off but mom won't let me. Should I do it myself now?
Just do it. You might get grounded but I would just do it. Honestly, she has no right to dictate something as simple and insignificant as hair. Hair grows back. Some people on this answer say “oh because she supports you she has every right to dictate your appearance”. That’s completely false. It would be different if you were running around naked or exposing yourself with clothing that’s much too small.Though I understand the reasoning of “I’m not going to buy the clothes if I don’t approve” because you get what you pay for and some of these styles or trends are stupid. But hair literally grows back. You’re young and you don’t have much time left before your jobs have to dictate your appearance and how you wear your hair. Do what you need to to get it short.If it’s hard to care for then don’t care for it. That would be a quick way to prove a point of “I’m tired of taking care of this hair I don’t want”.Honestly, instead of cutting it in a bob I would test it out by just going a little shorter than your shoulders. You might not like short hair. If you truly like it then go shorter in a couple of weeks.
Do you ever regret cutting your hair?
My hair is down to my waist.. its long and pretty healthy.. and very thick. Always have it pretty long.. sometime cut about two to four inches off. I want to cut my hair to my shoulders.. but everytime I cut it I end up regretting it. And most girls do too.. Why do we always cut our hair when we know we will miss our hair afterwards? It just sounds good to cut it right now but Idk if I should.
How come I get the urge to grow out my hair in summer but an urge to cut it around winter?
Hello there, you are a completly unique individual. You're passing fancy and urges and desires are what make you, you! Maybe in summer its shirts off. and winter its too scratchy? Doesn't matter. It's all good and fine. We don't always have to have logical reason for having or doing things that pleases us. Hope this helps. Thanks for question. Sinecerly Joanne
Cut my hair while pregnant?
I am 5 months pregnant and I heard from numerous women that you shouldn't cut your hair when you are pregnant because you will regret it. I have really long hair and I am getting really tired of it. It is really hot where I live and I just want something that doesn't take so much time in the morning to do. I am not wanting to go butch short but maybe 3 or 4 inches. It has taken so long to get my hair to this point and I am always complimented on how pretty it is...I am scared that I will not like it after the damage is done...so I guess my question would be...have you cut your hair while pregnant and did you regret it or were you pleased with your decision??
Thinking of cutting again...?
Cutting can be very dangerous and addictive. You can get a serious infection from cutting and it’s all too easy to cut deeper than you had intended. This could cause permanent damage or even death if you cut in the wrong place. Fortunately you have already taken the first step into stopping your cutting by reaching out for information and help. There are many coping strategies you can try to stop yourself from cutting and also for dealing with stress in general. First you need to pinpoint when and why you cut yourself. A good way to help figure this out is to keep a journal of when the urges to cut surface. When you feel like cutting, stop and examine what you were thinking of and how you were feeling at the time. Were you feeling anxious or depressed? Maybe something made you angry. Write down what made you feel the way you felt. Try wearing a rubber band or two on your wrist, when you feel the urge to cut, stretch it out and snap it to your skin. This is one of the simplest ‘quick fixes’ to deal with cutting urges. Other ideas may be to hold an ice cube tightly in your hand for around 20 seconds or so or putting your hand into a bowl of ice water. You will also want to develop some long term strategies for dealing with stress and negative emotions that are leading you to cutting. Again journaling about your feelings can be a huge help. So can exercise, listening to music, writing poems or stories, reading or talking with a friend. Anything that you enjoy or helps you feel better can be a coping strategy. Finally, reach out to others for help. Parents, other relatives, teachers, school counselors, your doctor are just some of the people you can talk to about your feelings and urges.
