Is this hair worth keeping? (pics)

I've finally taken length shots, more out of despair than anything.

I was at a party last night and this acquaintance of mine went on a rant about how people with thin hair shouldn't grow their hair long, how dyed hair is awful, etc. It got under my skin. I colour my hair and, as I've often posted, I battle with hair loss. I've started thinking that maybe I should just chop off the length, colour what's left back to my original colour and let it grow again.

I love my colour and, most days, I like my hair, but it's so, so thin. Tell me - is this hair worth keeping, or should I go the big chop?

Post-clarify and SMT hair. Combed after washing, then left alone.

After quickly twisting my hair into a bun, without brushing, to go to the grocery store. My hair is hanging really weirdly for some reason.

I think your hair is very lovely and doesn't look thin. The color is also pretty and natural-looking.

I think that every human being is a natural egotist and thus we think that people are talking about us when usually, they are not. I bet the person who was saying these things specifically does NOT mean you or else he/she would not have said them in front of you unless he/she is a really unsocialized jerk.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion - but in my opinion your friend was being really rude.
If it's worth it to you to keep it, then it's worth it to keep it! Also your hair does not look thin, and your kitchen is really cute.

It doesn't look thin

I like the color also.
Although...quitting the dye could make your hair thicker/ less damaged/shed less

I love your hair! No way should you cut it. It's very silky and soft looking. I have seen lots of very long hair that is thin fine and silky, and I think it's gorgeous.

I would say grow it you've put in this much effort. Your friend seems mean and rude. She or he needs to mind their business. Its rude to down someone hair and way of life.

This is what matters. YOU like your hair color and your hair. Your friend is entitled to think whatever she wants about long hair and coloring hair and what-have-you, but her opinion shouldn't influence you if you're happy with what you have.

I don't think your hair looks thin either and it's a nice rich color. I agree that person might not have been referring to your hair at all but if you are self-conscious about it you might have felt like they were.

Your hair does not look thin at all. It is very lovely. Please do not cut it because this person's comment. She (I assume it was a female) was very rude. Consider the source!!
