It happens. People have done that to me when my hair was necklength.....He probably didn´t mean it in "that way".
Being assertive is always key, and most people are better at it a little later in life.
Sorry if there has already been a thread about this. Has anyone actually ever threatened your hair? I used to get it in my last job. I had hair between hip and classic all the time I was there and a colleague used to threaten to cut it as a joke. He once even went as far as to grab hold of my braid and pretend to cut it off half way down. I took to wearing my hair up a lot after that
This was in the mid 90's and I wasn't as good at being assertive then. These days I would reply, politely but firmly "you cut my hair off and I am sueing you for assault".

Only jokingly, and I usually half-jokingly threaten their well-being in return... Most people don't anymore! Apparently I'm slightly scary somehow.

MY GOAL: 35 inches!!

My DH doesn't like my hair long & has threatened to cut it "jokingly" but it makes me mad anyway. I usually try to smile & laugh at him. I should threaten to cut something of his off, but I am not like that I guess.
I am trying to grow mine down to my waist, I usually wear it up so that he can't see it that much. He doesn't make remarks very often, about once in every 6 mon. or so.
I have had my hair cut pretty short before & he has never said that it was too short - he probably wouldn't say anything if I had it cut in a butch haircut
When I was in the fifth grade, I was at a friend's house and she did something mean. She threatened if I told she would cut my hair off and throw it down the laundry shoot (which she knew I was terrified of.)
Now if someone threatened to cut my hair off - most likely it would be a guy - I'd say that you don't want to know what I would cut off of you in retaliation.
I get a few "joking" threats to cut my hair, but I guess I admit my hair isn't in the best condition yet, and since only my brothers are making the threats, I guess I'm not really bothered.
I went for a trim the other day to remove the lint sticker ends, and the stylist and teacher both really liked my hair and did talk me into a bit more of a "cut" so I have a shoulder length bob now that really does make me very happy. I enjoy this way more I think because it's actually styled. But I didn't take it to be a threat to cut my hair - more on I really felt how much they loved my hair, understood that I am growing to fix my damage and don't want it super short, and they did work with what I want and like.
When my father first saw my long hair (he lives 3000+ miles away, and we aren't emotionally close), he picked up the scissors and made cutting motions at me while saying "it looks like a big old mess". Bah; he's in his 80s and weak; no threat there.
Someone in my physics class once threatened to cut off my hair. He had scissors in his hands at the time.
I responded that I'd cut off something hanging of his if he ever thought of doing that...then he went back to his seat.
Do NOT mess with my hair. Hehe.
My hair has never been longer than it is today!
