Is my hair too long? With pics!

[BunnyLebowski]

My Mother (whose opinion I shouldn't care about but do) is on the verge of making a hair appt for me when I go home at Christmas as she hates my long hair and has used the word 'witch' about it in the past

I haven't been to a hairdresser in well over a year. I love my hair long and hate hairdressers thanks to a history of unwanted dos and a deep fear of layered Mum cuts and sensible bobs. In my defence it is very thick and shiny.

I'm 32. Tell me MN, is my hair too long and do I look like a witch??

[ChasedByBees]

Not witchy, v pretty and glamorous!

[FellatioNelson]

It is beautiful hair but personally I think it would look more balanced if it were about 4-6 inches shorter.

However, I am not concerned about your hair. I am more concerned that you should stop bathing that poor baby using Fairy Liquid.

[KrisMoose]

Your hair is gorgeous - I wonder if your Mum has hair ishoooooooooos as she made you keep it short as a kid?

And you look really slim

[headfairy]

Oh yes, the styling opportunities with long hair are infinite!

I also have cowlicks but ones that make a flat fringe impossible! We should get our cowlicks together, maybe they'd cancel each other out

[WayneDeer]

tentatively...

could it be because your mother thinks your hair is too black?
I think if you had a lighter shade she wouldn't feel the same way

i am not indicating that you should lighten your hair
it's your hair

[BunnyLebowski]

Fellatio - At least it was actual Fairy and not the Aldi one!

6 inches??? No chance!

[BunnyLebowski]

Wayne - That's my natural hair colour! Darkest brown with reddish tones in the sun. Nowhere near black in real life. Wouldn't change it for the world.

[QuickLookBusy]

Your hair is beautiful and I would keep it long.

However, I would cut about 3-4 inches off.

I know this sounds weird but I think it's because it kind off rests on your boobs

I think it needs to rest just above them- I don't normally focus on boobs honestly

[GlaikitFizzogTheChristmasElf]

Ok I'm going to ask about the bruises, since no one else has!

How in gods name did you get those? We're you running away from a hairdresser?? :o

[BunnyLebowski]

That's ok Quick - I'm a big <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?um=1&hl=en&safe=off&tbo=d&biw=1182&bih=1047&tbm=isch&tbnid=ciEafh8xeZkP9M:&imgrefurl=www.gigwise.com/photos/73427/14/rihanna-wants-to-watch-cheryl-cole-clean-the-floor&docid=tRi-JyptailKeM&imgurl=static.gigwise.com/gallery/alanis-nude.jpg&w=430&h=322&ei=Y67FUJ-lDvCU0QWW5oGwCQ&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=594&sig=105215520756692136742&page=1&tbnh=147&tbnw=188&start=0&ndsp=48&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:0,i:81&tx=113&ty=60" rel="nofollow noindex" target="_blank">Alanis fan

No

[DoesntTurkeyNSproutSoupDragOn]

You see where it looks like there's a shorter length... finishes just above the writing on your T shirt... that's where I'd chop it to. No idea if this is the 4 inches I mentioned in my first post.

[GlaikitFizzogTheChristmasElf]

:o

[hattymattie]

I like it - keep it - my mum made me have short hair too when I was little - I always wanted hair like yours but as mine is curly - I understand why she did it. Keep yours - but I would get the ends trimmed as above.

[rockinaroundthebadtasteflump]

You have lovely hair - if you like it, leave it!

If you fancy a change then my professional opinions would be to keep your overall length but also have some big chunky layers cut to give it a bit more movement - but I do think it's lovely as it is too - no hint of a witch as far as I can see

[rockinaroundthebadtasteflump]

'opinions'? Doh.

[QuickLookBusy]

Well Bunny, I understand why you need to keep it that length now

[MonaLotte]

I was waiting to see ridiculously long hair but it really suits you. I would maybe have a couple of inches off the ends to get rid of any split ends but other than that it's fab!

[BunnyLebowski]

What exactly do you mean by 'chunky layers' rockin??

Google tells me this which is pretty much my worst nightmare

[WayneDeer]

Bunny

I'm sorry, I thought it was dyed
often when you home dye (or salon) there is a colour build up and you can be unaware of how dark your hair has become as a result
I thought that that was the case t b h

I was unaware that it was natural

[EauRougelyNight]

I think long hair only looks witchy if it's in shit condition. I would have enough off to tidy it up, maybe a couple of inches if you don't get it cut regularly but your hairdresser will be able to tell you how much for sure.

[rockinaroundthebadtasteflump]

Ooh you minx - you picked the most horrible one!! I agree that one looks like a frufru-ish nightmare!

I was thinking more this

or this

[rockinaroundthebadtasteflump]

PS But longer, I mean...

[GreatCongas]

Gorgeous

[BunnyLebowski]

First one looks ok.

You see those layers right at Rachel Bilson's chin?? They would be up round my ears unless I GHD'd every day which I hate doing.

Should have added, my default style is wavy/sock bun curls. The curls drop out very quickly though as my hair is so thick.

Would layers help with that look?
