Straw poll, chop very long hair or not?

[LoftDweller]

I'm undecided. I do like my hair when it's done but it takes so long. Here's pics of it now, and what I'd like to cut it to.

[BumWad]

Don't cut it! It's stunning as it is

[Jmangel]

No no no to cutting it - it is beautiful.

[Mamia15]

Its beautiful but perhaps a bit on the long side and the styling is very romantic - this link has some great long hair styles that are a bit more modern:

Do it! Both 2 and 3 are great styles and hair is still long, past your shoulders.

[Madbengalmum]

Everytime i have cut my long hair i regretted it.
I wouldnt, your hair looks much nicer long than the third pic.

[LegoCaltrops]

You have beautiful hair. Don't do it unless you are really sure - I did a massive chop several years ago (it was nearly knee length at the longest point) & went to a very short pixie. I'm growing it back out...

[zippyswife]

Mine was really similar to your first pic. I always got so many compliments on it but it just was too glamorous for me. I have loved it since I got it in a lob over a year ago. It's much more me. Your hair is stunning though!

[zippyswife]

But... Having said that your hair is much nicer than the pic you want. But each to their own. It'll grow back!

You're hair is beautiful but I think just a bit too long. It would look fab cut to just below your shoulders.

[Wishfulmakeupping]

Please don't cut it- it's beautiful!

[Girlwithnotattoos]

I dislike extra long hair and would have it cut into a more manageable length with more style and shape but long enough to put up if you want.

[Truckingalong]

Cut an inch or 2 off, get a swept over fringe instead of the cowlick and you have the hair of dreams!

[LoftDweller]

Thanks all. I'll be going to the hairdressers anyway for either a trim and some layers or the big chop. It does grow quickly so it wouldn't be the end of the world if I didn't like it, I'm just nervous of taking the leap!

I had long hair, a long time ago! However over the years it gradually got shorter & shorter, more trims. I had been trying to grow it back to its longer length but i guess as I'm a little older my hair growth rate has slowed down a bit!

Anyway, last year, I decided I was fed up of trying to grow my hair long again, it was looking scraggly so I cut it from past my shoulders to a lob, about the same length as pic 3, the one you like. I loved it.

A few weeks ago I've gone even shorter, it's now about shoulder length. I really like my hair this length, after all this time of trying to grow my hair long again!

But, you do have lovely long hair. Maybe you could have a few inches off first & see how you feel with that & if you're happy you could always go & have another couple of inches off after?

[FeliciaJollygoodfellow]

I'd cut it. Just because I get bored and like to try different things!

It'll grow back.

[maggiethemagpie]

Cut it - I think it is too long and would look better a bit shorter

[burnishedsilver]

Cut it. It's lovely now but the new style is also lovely and will be easier to style.

[LoftDweller]

Hmm pretty much 50/50 on here. I might let the hairdresser decide!

[ThePigeon314]

No.

Maybe a bit shorter if you need a change but it looks like thick wavy smooth hair to me.

[MitzyLeFrouf]

I'd cut it.

[user1467042399]

Keep it.
It's gorge

[Toxicity]

I think you have gorgeous hair, personally I am jealous!!

I would trim it to get rid of any dead ends but if you are really fancying a change the style you posted about is nice.

[margaritasbythesea]

You have lovely very individual hair. The blow dried to death one you say you want is not a patch on it.

[JapaneseSlipper]

Go for it. It's just a little too long now - very pretty, but just a bit heavy I think.

Kudos to you for styling your hair, you're really good at it! Hair styling takes so long and I find it so boring that I never bother, but I really should....

[sonlypuppyfat]

Noooooooo your hair is beautiful I always think people who say cut it are a bit jealous
