I would do what you want to do... everytime I grow my hair out.. it get tired of it or bored and cut it to my shoulders.. Then I get mad because I miss the long hair... If you get any cut.. go 3 inches.. if you like it and want to go me.. then do that.

dont ever let a guy tell you to change your image...if your long hair is looking scragly or tangled you should get maybe a few inches taken off just to see if it looks better. then you can decide wether you wanna go for the big chop!

It is your hair.. so it is your desicion. if you don't want to cut it then don't! but one thing that you can do is cut to your mind back and it will still be short and long at the same time!

Well it is your hair so it is up to you not your husband. I am sure it would look nice and be a change for you. I am always changing my hair. It was down to my butt in high school and got shorter and shorter and now I am growing it long again. If you want a change go for it cause it will always grow back. If you want to hold on to your hair well tell hubby to bug off. However if you do choose to cut a lot of hair off try to go to a salone where you can donate your hair to locks of love to make wigs for children with cancer. It is a great thing to do.

hair - hairy day
NO! Long hair is beautiful and far more original...too many women have short or shoulder length hair...be different! More importantly, what do YOU want?

I would keep it long if its what you like. As most have stated, its your hair, you do what you feel is right. However, if you do decide to chop it, you can sell it if its in good condition. Just do a search for selling hair. People use it for wigs.

my dear, it's very touchy question to answer! To be honest, as a friend I would like to say do what you want to do. If you love your hair more than your husband don't have a cut and if you love your husband more than your hair make your husband happy! You can convince him too to give his consent in your favour. All the best to you! We simply want to see you happy and contended in life you are our loving friend.

I would not cut it. It took me about two years to grow it down to my waist, and if my husband wanted me to cut it, I'd have to say HELL NO!!! lol.

If you really love your husband and he too, then you should cut your hair as agreed mutually. After some time you can again change your style. In this way you can make happy your husband. Later he will also not object as you have respect his advice once. These are the small tips which make family life more and more happy. Sacrifice is little but happiness is more dear friend.......

It is really rare to hear of a man who wants a female to cut their hair. I thought most men preferred hair as long as the female was willing to grow it and it still look healthy. I love long hair. I guess you'll just have to think about it and decide if you can reach a compromise somewhere in-between or tell him to stuff it. Ha!

That is really long! You might really miss it if you cut that much off all at once, you might even feel naked. If I were you I would maybe just cut off a little bit at a time to see how you deal with it. Then if you like it, cut it off to your shoulders. Remember too, it's just hair and it'll grow back! Although in your case, it could take quite awhile to reach your bum again!

you should do what your heart says. if you like your long hair, than why to cut it? i think your oppinion is the most important. try to talk with your husband, and explain to him that you realy want to keep your hair down to the butt

actually hairs are a symbol of beauty for girls. long hairs are not gifted to everybody. it takes a long effort to care that also . so don't cut ur hair
