To cut my hair, or to not cut my hair

[red_summit]

Gettin bored.. I needed something to make me look busy.. I'm gonna trim my hair anyways.. but I just don't know how short... thinkin maybe about half way... I'm 5'7 and my hair is past my.. "tailfeather" j/k listenin to too much radio.. but yeah.. gotta go..:Angel2

[Miss_Nish]

Nah.. don't do it!!... Why would u wanna cut it?.. My momma doesn't want me cuttin' my hair.. Nope, no sir... but I'm keeping it the same length.. and minez is also to my "tailfeather"

[*sHaRoN*]

DO NOT CUT YOUR HAIR!!!!!!!!!!!
im just kidding.........do what you want............i just wish i could cut my hair, mine is past my "tail feather" also. *L* oh yeah i forgot to say........DO NOT CUT YOUR HAIR:p

[ndn_butterfly]

do what you gotta do to keep that hair healthy girl..nobody likes split ends and dry hair...aye
I trim my hair every few months just to keep it healthy...even tho its not past my "tailfeather"...eff I wish it was:Cry

[Kakeeya]

Yeah healthy hair is beautiful and keep it long if you're up to maintaining it. I get compliments on my hair all the time, even today I got another one. My hair is also way past my 'tailfeather' and I keep it trimmed all the time. Hate it when it gets too long and I sit on it, or it gets stuck in the car door. I woudn't know what it's like to have short hair, even if we are in mourning, we don't cut our hair, so when I braid my hair, my braids go past my waist. :)

I am so jealous....:Cry
I've been trying to grow my hair for YEARS, but it just seems to stay the same length:(

Yeah.. Red... and you'll miss the joy of getting your hair stuck in all places.. like Kakeeya... it gets caught when I'm closing the car door... it gets caught on the door knob... always sitting on it... lol.. Once I was bending over to tie my shoe laces.. and I didn't notice that I was stepping on mah hair... That really yanked my head when I tried to stand up!! :Mad :Cry People always ask.. "what do ya do when ya go to the washroom??".. :Chatter :Chatter Duh!!.. wrap it around my neck like a scarf..

It's hard work.. but you'll be happy with it.

:Chatter I feel that you have to trim your hair to keep it healthy and use a good product I am told helps also.
My hair was at a standstill so I cut it off to above my shoulders and I was Ok with it but I miss my long hair so I am letting it grow back out. I feel that since I cut it all off it will start growing again and it has.
Now my daughter had very long thick hair and she just wanted a change and I let her change herself she is 14 yrs.old. She had her hair cut into a very nice short hair style very comtempory. Then she saw the girl from Charmed her fav. TV Show cut all her off and she had long hair also and that week she went and got her hair cut like the girl from Charmed it is Like a Pixie style and that tells you how short it is now. But my daughter has the face for it people are always telling her she could be a model.

But as for me her mom I miss
:Cry her long beatiful hair. When we go to Pow-wows she gets good and bad responses some people say what did you do to your hair then it makes her sad, :( Then some people go awesome hair cut and love it then she is happy again:) .
Personally I tell her to not go with what people say but to follow her heart because I want her to be able to think for herself but not take it to a bad extreme.

i just cut my hair last week.....it was down to my bottom......and then i cut like 6 inches off......it looks wayyyy healthier but feels sooo much shorter......even though its still to my waist it feels real short

[bushy_braids]

awwwwwwwwww hell w/it! just chop it off, it'll grow back!
if it's a bugg in ur ear, then obviously u wanna do it so go for it.

[traci_m]

I think about cutting mine when my husband and I are asleep in bed and he accidentally lays on it. Then I go to move and OUCH! :Mad Or like someone else said--when it gets caught in the car door. Or gets a million tangles on a windy day.

I have not cut my son's hair and he's two. But damn, I get so tired of people saying "what I cute little girl". Even if I have him in overalls and a boy shirt with airplanes and dump trucks on it. They still call him a girl!

[Gold_toothed_dancer]

yo its your doo but I say keep it looooong!

I hear ya on both counts traci m. Sometimes I wonder how it would be to have my hair short and take some of that weight off, cuz it gets heavy, but when I dress up for ceremonies and for powwows, I'm glad I can braid it. My son also had braids when he was growing up, he always wore three braids to show that he was a boy, (in our tribe, only girls wear two braids). My son was also a beautiful Native boy and people always thought he was a girl. But as soon as he would talk or walk, they would know that he was a boy, acted like a boy. :p

Dang.. I didn't think I'd get that much response.. but neways.. yeah.. I'm seriously thinking about cutting to where it hits the halfway mark on my back.. (fyi I don't have a 1/2 way mark on my back *L*)

But yeah I got til this friday to figure it out.. that's when I get paid... I dunno I feel like a change, but I know I'm gonna miss it. A couple of years ago I got it trimmed, a lil more than I wanted and I freaked out at my mom, cuz she told me to do it.. But it wasn't her fault.. that dang person who cut it!!! :Yell *jokes*:Chatter
