It's not about the bike, it's just along for the ride.

I'd do that, but I need something to keep my scalp from getting sunburned. I don't like hats. Just visors.

i'm a guy, you do know this, right? the guys have just gotten ,well, boring pretty much and so i thought i'd poke my head in here and see what you'd say. funny that you said that you might would do that though.

so in all seriousness, would you really shave your head? thought of it?

re: my post. I don't believe in using pink font.

Funny... my mom told me last night that I better find a hairdresser and make an appointment asap. Oh and she would be paying. Apparently I've let it get a little too long (it's at my butt now). Merry Christmas to me!

I'm about 6 weeks overdue on a haircut. I was supposed to go on Friday but literally as I was headed to the appt my father-in-law, who was in visiting for Thanksgiving, fell and I had to take him to the ER. Next available hair appt isn't for another 2 weeks. I'm like shaggy the bear right now. (FIL ended up being fine)

6 WEEKS overdue? I'm about 6 YEARS overdue.

So Thanksgiving was even more crazy than you originally expected, huh? lol :P

I just cut mine short short last week, after being afraid to go too short for years, and I'm so happy I finally did it. I really like it, a great change. go to bing.com and search on short hair styles and you'll find a billion photos of great cuts.

wow, people cut their hair these days? last time mine saw a pair of scissors was before i was married, probably about 7.5 years ago now.. :p

good luck finding something you like, pirategirl!

cheers!

The style will really depend on your hair type. I'd go to a good salon and see what they had to say.

Can't help you with the style, but donate the ponytail to one of 2 organizations:

Beautiful Lengths: Provide real hair wigs for WOMEN with cancer who lose their hair: http://pantene.com/...aRuJ4CFRifnAodnlcZZQ

or Locks of Love: Provides real hair wigs to CHILDREN under 21: http://www.locksoflove.org/

Beautiful Lengths only requires an 8 inch ponytail to donate, Locks of Love is a 10 inch ponytail. Neither organization takes bleached or grey hairs (just in case). Colored hair is ok though.

Have fun with the new cut. I just donated my 2nd pony to Beautiful Lengths about 2 months ago. It's so refreshing to get a new 'do!

Agree it depends on your hair. I think curly hair does better for the whole wash & go approach. I have super straight, flat hair and having it too short is actually more work b/c I *have* to blowdry & style it. For straight hair, I think a chin length bob is great.

As someone else said - the style that suits you will depend on your hair and your face. I second the recommendation to find a good hairdresser and get their advice. If you want to get people's attention go dramatically shorter - it's fun to the the reactions and it's only hair, it'll grow back if you want it longer.

Over the last year I gradually went from hair just above my shoulders to about an inch long. I'm loving the short hair! I have a lot of hair and it used to take a while to dry but now it's only a few minutes with the hairdryer, which is handy as I'm at the gym before work 2-4 days a week. You will likely need to use product but hair waxes and styling pastes are very easy to use.

The major downside to short hair is hats and hat hair - once I put on a hat I'm pretty much committed to wearing for the rest of the day. You'll also need to get it cut more often - which could be an issue if time and/or money are tight.

it seems that some version of the inverted bob looks good on almost everyone: you can do it long-ish and wavy, short and choppy, bangs, no bangs, stacked up in the back, layered... it's all good and you can leave it long engough to pull back.

post pics once you get the chop

Thanks, I'm considering a bob, but it's not always been maintenance free for me. I have a lot of hair, but it's fine, so the top never dries flat on its own, and it's not curly enough to be cute.

I'm aksing around for a good hair dresser, but everyone I know DOES their hair, and in my experience hair dressers are usually higher maintenance than I am, so they never really get, wash and go.

you could bob it and perm it heh-heh....

been there, done that. 18 years ago. There is a picture on my facebook

Take a look at my pics on Facebook. I have super short hair and love it. Mine used to be half way down my back but what a hassle!

I personally think you should go back to your cadet days. You had awesome hair!

It was NOT maintenance free. And that was in Colorado Springs. Dry air. Not Hawaii humidity.

AquaNet can fix anything.
