Default Time for a change

I am writing this as a positive posting

My hair is now down to my wrists, but, still very very thin [think fairytail from waist down].
The thinness was due to extreem drama in my life. I lost a lot over a week [about 2/3rds of my total hair]

This was in this last year.

I need a change.

I was thinking about a fringe

Feathering around my face and neck

And then 1 or 2 layers down to the bottom. Oddly layers adds visual thickness to my hair.

I still have good condition all the way to my waist, so that is where I was thinking of stopping.... My waist.

I will still have Long hair

We have just had our silver anniversery [25] And I feel like a change. I have had the same cut for that long.

OK people, I need comments, Good and bad. Pro's and Con's

I need to concider all things *before * I do this.

I think it sounds lovely! Go for it! You are right, it is still long, and if you choose to re-grow and see if it is in better condition, you can!

If it makes you feel good about yourself and your hair, then go for it! It is your hair after all. You're right: it'll still be long, and it's hair for goodness sakes, it grows. The only cons that I can see are that of course all of your hair won't go neatly into updos, and if/when you decide to grow out your fringe it will take a while with a few awkward stages. But again, it's your hair, and if you're itching for a change, cutting to waist with some layers and fringe is probably better than cutting to a pixie.

Id say go for it, the only problem with a fringe is that it takes some of the thickness away and takes forever to grow out.

Waist is still long and if you dont like it you at least know you have the genes to grow longer if you want.

Good luck, blondecat!!!!

I love my face-framing fringes (I hesitate to call them layers but I guess technically that's what they are). They just make everything "fall" so nicely.

On wavy hair that will be absolutely, positively gorgeous.

I can't wait to see pics!!!
