At what age should you cut your hair short permanently?

I agree Trish, short hair is high maintenance and lot more difficult to manage than longer hair.

I`ve never heard that Nursing Homes request this either Trish – I know when we visited mum years ago, there were ladies in there with long hair.

My ex mother in law has hair way past her shoulder and she is in a nursing home now and I am sure she would never have her hair cut.

Here are the things to consider Angie: Are you ready to…
♠style it daily (she did not wake up like that. Need to curl it, do waves, ad volume, use products to hold this curl, to heat protect, to condition, hydrate…consider extra cost)
♠do highlights regularly to maintain that dimensional look (consider pricing too if you are not ready for DIY)
♠trim at hairdressers often (monthly to once per 2 months or so) to maintain length and shape (consider costs)
♠some hair styles will be hard to do (fancy braids, top knots…)

Why you want the change? Social media motivated you or…etc.

I personally have long hair (to my waist) and straight and fine textured (plenty of it). I had my hair cut into bobs, lobs or whatever when growing up and later when teen. It was hard to keep it styled, so I did not bother. My hair looked messy all the time. Not until I grew it long that I said: hallelujah! And do not care about cutting that short again. Plus maintenance is super cheap too hahahah (I trim my own hair and do highlights once per 1/2 year or quarter)

If your hair grows fast and you are sick of having long hair, try it! Hair will grow back, at least you will know if you liked it and want to keep it…then just keep wondering how it would be like.

PS: Love your long hair =D

Perfectly said, Yohanna. I do hope you really want to do something different, Angie, as opposed to feeling you should because of age pressures? Your hair looks great – balage, I have no idea how you spell that or highlights of some sort if you want something different?

Yes! I love this!
