Tell me I'm being stupid

I had my hair cut today, pretty drastically. I tend to not wear it down, ever. Mainly because of a long history of bullying and snide comments over my hair. I like the new cut BUT it was meant to be able to be tied up, and it's too short
Now I'm panicking Blush
Ridiculous I know

I don't think you're being stupid but I do think you are still affected by the bullying. If you've always worn your hair a certain way it can take a while to be comfortable with a new hairstyle. You know your new hair looks good, keep telling yourself that and ready yourself for all the compliments. Smile

Worst comes to worst you just need to wait a few weeks till it grows a bit.

I am, I know that. Just having a moment that people will laugh at me Sad
I'm veering between that and then thinking actually it will break me of my habit of wearing it up

Your hair is beautiful and that cut looks fab! It will inspire deep hair envy, not laughter.

AWholeLottaNosy · 17/11/2014 17:28

Wow you have lovely hair! Naturally curly and in such good condition. You should definitely wear it down and show it off.Smile

PicnicGatecrasher · 17/11/2014 17:28

Well I love it for starters!! That is one amazing hairdo!

TheCowThatLaughs · 17/11/2014 17:29

It's really nice and suits you! Bet you'll end up going shorter next time...

squoosh · 17/11/2014 17:29

It's really gorgeous!

Curly hair is on my wishlist for my next life. Along with long legs and olive skin.

AWholeLottaNosy · 17/11/2014 17:29

Can I ask why people bullied you because of your hair?

Thurlow · 17/11/2014 17:30

No one is going to laugh - that's a fantastic cut!

prettywhiteguitar · 17/11/2014 17:30

Ooh noooo ! I love it, I love ringlets my friend has a bob like this with her brown curly hair.

Uber jealous !

goodasitgets · 17/11/2014 17:32

Why? Because of the colour and the curls. Mainly the colour. I've coloured it into oblivion but it's back to natural colour at the moment
It was so bad when I was younger I wouldn't even sleep with it down

goodasitgets · 17/11/2014 17:35

Full of Envy for your beautiful hair!

goodasitgets · 17/11/2014 17:36

squoosh - I have the long legs at 5ft 10 but am so pale that Caspar would be jealous Grin

That's such a shame you were bullied for your hair. These things can leave a lasting legacy but I hope these comments are helping you. Those bullies were stupid and jealous. Your hair is a real asset to you!

Oscarandelliesmum · 17/11/2014 17:40

It is fab, you look great. I too would looooove hair like yours!

goodasitgets · 17/11/2014 17:45

Its when people stare or look that I struggle. Guess I'm thinking they are wanting to take the piss. Part of me knows they are probably just looking straight through me and not noticing but it's such a hard thing to shake off

It's beautiful - the colour, the cut, the curls (proper ones not my frizzy mess). And it suits you and looks lovely with those glasses.

It would be a crime to put up hair like that Grin.
