a radical suggestion

I can’t get a brush through my hair. It’s something to do with some new and very posh shampoo and conditioner that dp bought for me – and every time I use it, my hair just mats up. I’ve tried thorough conditioning, I’ve henna-ed it, gone for days without washing it (yeuch) and I’m sick of it.

So I’m considering chopping it all off. We’ve got hair clippers – dp uses them. He says he’ll do it as long as he can take pictures, so I’m opening it to a vote – what do you all reckon? Votes in a comment box please.

    Yes….

  4. Yeah, it’d be cool 🙂 And it’ll grow if you don’t like it …. You could do little A’s as well, then you’d all match 😉

  5. Noooo! but then I’m a bit conservative (small c) about appearance!

    A categorical yes…who are in the lead…..you need of course to bear in mind the distinct conservatism of the majority of the ringers when weighing up the votes….

    This lady is not for shaving

  8. oh, that would just be *too* radical for me. But it would grow back if you didn’t like it … I think you look lovely with your hair as it is, but I’m sure you’d be just as lovely however your hair was, so you’ll have to make your own decision! 😉 (she says, firmly sitting on the fence here!)

  9. Well I have gone from below shoulder length hair to shaving it off with a “number 4” and I loved it. Freedom! So easy to manage 🙂

  10. Forgot to say it is now back again to just below shoulder length and I am considering the chop again..

  11. If you want it go for it – although not keen myself but I’m not the one who’s having it
    done – from another fence sitter.
