Have you encountered jealousy of your long hair

[longhairvixen]

Have you dealt with women jealous of your hair? I had a Scissor happy hair dresser when i was a freshman. may hair wasnt that long. it was waist length, i asked her to cut it half an inch, and showed her with my finger but she butchered my hair up to my shoulder. i looked like dora the explorer chinese lady was just jealous. after that i learnt to cut my own hair.

anyone dealt with jealous by a scissor-happy hair dresser, or a friend who insisted to cut your hair short? What about people assuming you wear a weave or extensions? I've dealt with girls like that too.

I wouldn't say that I've dealt with jealous people, but maybe just people that weren't fond of long hair. For instance, my sister is forever telling me to cut my hair. I also went for a salon visit when I was quite young and the hair dresser cut off about 5" of my hair - My hair wasn't suppose to be cut. I came in for a relaxer, not a hair cut. So, she cut my hair without permission. I was too young to stop her, but when my mother realized what had happened (my aunt took me to the hair dresser) she pitched a massive fit.

I've had people ask me if my hair was all real, but no one has ever tried to sabotage my hair in any way. People have tried to convince me to cut it off saying I should donate to Locks of Love, but that seems to be well intentioned. They all seem to act like I probably haven't heard of Locks of Love and I need to be informed. I haven't had much jealousy that was expressed to me in a mean way. I've had people say that they wished they had my hair, but it was in a complimentary way. I can only think of two instances in my whole life when someone expressed jealousy in a mean way.

I'm sorry for what she did to your hair, but I don't see what her ethnicity has to do with it

locks of love is actually bad. they use them to sell to wig companies! the poor cancer patients dont even get the hair

I've never experienced anything like that. No one has ever told me to cut my hair, or made comments about my hair in general other than compliments. I have had hairdressers mess up my hair on more than one occasion though. The fear of that happening became so strong that I eventually found seeing a hairdresser was too stressful (not to mention insanely expensive) to be worth it. I've been cutting my own hair for years now, and it looks better than any time I had it done professionally.

What the hairdresser did to you is seriously crazy... I don't get how that happened. Didn't you see her moving her scissors to cut it off so high up? Why didn't you stop her??? Ahhh that sounds so traumatic. Jeez. I'm so sorry that happened.

I would definitely notice myself if the dresser had her hands that high up my length, for sure!

If anyone is jealous of my hair, they're too polite to be rude about it. The most I've gotten is a few pointed comments from people who dislike long hair in general: "How long are you going to let your hair get?" "When will you cut it?" etc.
