The big el'choppo....

Awesome!

I did just that a few years ago and it was the best decision I ever made. I feel so much more sophisticated.

Enjoy the liberation!

Good luck.

I did the same thing 6 months ago...one of the best things I've ever done! LOOONG hair 1/2 way down my back all chopped off to my ears! LOVE IT!

Have fun!

I've joined the shorter hair club too! Just about 6 weeks ago.

I had the same long hairstyle for almost a decade, but I was ready for a new look. People say it is fantastic and to never go back to really long hair. I am LOVING it. I hope you will too.

Ooohhh... I have an appt tomorrow for the same thing! Long hair I never do anything with. I told my hairdresser I want her to chop it all off! Well, to above the shoulders...

But I think I'm chickening out already...

Let us know if you have it done and whether you like it!

I'm doing the same thing tomorrow - longish hair bob cut style that I just keep growing out 2 times a year after I get it trimmed. I've had this style for most of my life apart from about 3 years or so in total since mid primary school (so about 20 years agghh - that makes me feel old even though I'm not that old yet) okay enough of my ramble now....

[Fuzzywuzzy]

Good luck! I just can't bring myself to do it

Oh I so want to do this too! I feel like I've got a decade old hairstyle and want a short style.

Question for those who have done it - I have super thick hair - will I need much product to keep it tame if it's short?

Sorry to hijack! Good luck!

Sooo... how did you go? Did you get it done??

It depends on how short you go. My hair is really thick too and when it is half grown out - so maybe 2-3 inches long, I do need a lot of product to keep it how I like it, but I only go out in public twice a week so the rest of the time I just pin it back. But with the length it is now - about 1 inch long, I don't need much product at all really.

I've got think hair too, but curly. I always get the hairdresser to thin out my hair a bit when i get it cut shorter and that works really well. Don't need too much product that way.

Not sure whether it works the same way with straight hair.
