Want a change

**Asma** · June 22nd, 2014, 06:18 AM

So, I've had my hair at classic length pretty much all my life and as the title suggests I'm really bored with it! I went to the salon around a month ago to get it cut to waist-ish and the hair-dresser refused ("because it's so long and pretty") and only trimmed it to somewhere between tailbone and classic. Don't get me wrong, I really like my long hair but I'm desperate for a change.
Now I still want to cut it but I'm afraid I'd regret it (I wanted shoulder length in the first place but I'm over that). In the end it's just hair and it *does* grow back. And today I've been getting thoughts of dying it a shade lighter or something along those lines.

What do you think I should do to get over this phase of boredom? I'd appreciate your response, thank youu.

Have you tried many updos? That certainly cures boredom (at least for me).

If you want to cut, I suggest cutting off only 3 inches and see how you like it (or not).

If you need inspiration, then visit Torrin Paige's You Tube channel and you're sure to find something.

Maybe try a different hemline? This way you wouldn't have to make a huge commitment.

I would try dying it if you're feeling willing to cut it off later. Long hair is trendy right now, so you could change the color around and really wow people without losing too much length in case you change your mind. Also layers could be pretty.

Agreed - it is just hair and it does grow back.

Cut it back to waist if you want. A hairdresser has no right to tell you how to wear it.

I did cassia treatment (Strawberry Blonde color) on my very ends and it turned out so well I don't even feel like dusting anymore.

You could cut it to waist yourself using Feye's Method.

What? A hairdresser can't tell you how to wear your hair. If you want it at waist, then get it cut to waist! You could even cut it yourself and then get a hairdresser to cut in a different hemline, maybe?

Nesoi, they won't cut it if they are worried you won't cope with the change well. I don't blame them, they get a lot of people bursting into tears after a big chop.

Asma, I agree with you and SpiderMom, it'll grow back! Personally I'd dip dye the ends just to see how it looked, especially if I was planning to chop it anyway ^_^
