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

**Miss.September** · January 19th, 2011, 02:07 PM

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!

Good on you for going the chop - I don't think you will ever go back! Shorter hair really suits you and changes the whole look of your face!

I love it! You will notice how much LESS shampoo you will use and feel naked when you cant feel your hair down your back

i had the big chop a few months back and i have to admit, I loved it

I just needed that change.

I hope you love it

looks amazing!

Wow! You look awesome!! Good work following through, it was definitely worth it! You have inspired me too to make a change to my hair

Lovely, bet it will look very funky when it is not so sleek and you have your natural curl in it too (did that make any sense).

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.

I didn't cry, I love it, and it feels so nice to have a lighter head of hair! I'm still actually in shock that I went through with it, but I'm really happy with how it's worked out. Tomorrow morning when I have to do it myself might be a different story, but it's a pretty simple cut so shouldn't be too hard to manage.

I put a before and after pic (self taken so excuse the quality) in my album on my BB profile, and being a dingbat I'm not really sure how to link to it. Which code I was meant to use? Anyways, if you want to have a peek look at my profile, but I'll prob take it down soon because well you know, people can tell who I am now lol

ETA hoping that link works - thanks Leckert!

ETA part 2 - removing link so no one can stalk me
