Hey guys, I just want to know your view regarding this topic. Do you cut your hair to satisfy or gain approval from someone? Are you wearing a long hair or a very short hair not because you really like it but because your boyfriend or girlfriend or mother or colleagues wants you to have that type of hair? Thanks for reading my post and sharing your views! Good day!

When my mom was alive, its a must that i should cut my hair according to what style she likes. Now not anymore, my dad is a lot more lenient when it comes to making rules in the house in general. And i dont think anyone aside from my parents can dictate how i am supposed to dress or look. My hair is my business, lol. Anyone can suggest what hairstyle they think would look good on me, and if i like it as well i'll follow their suggestion, but ultimately, its all up to me on how i fix, cut, and style my hair.

I cut my hair for forensics tournaments. The whole point is to look professional. It is hard to look professional and have hair in your eyes while you talk, thus I cut my hair. My mother hates it but I have to.

When I cut my hair, it is my own decision. I don't cut my hair just to satisfy someone. It's to satisfy me.

Hi, For me, I will cut my hair once or twice a year,not more than that. I keep my hair long...looks more mature and I like this style. I won't ask for my husband permission on what hair style I should go for it. As long as I feel comfortable with it,just go ahead and do it. I have my own freedom to choose my own hairstyle. Most of the time, I will go for rebonding as it is easier to maintain. Especially in the morning, after wakeup, I just use my hand to comb my hair and it is done. I did try to perm my hair once and it takes lot of work to get my hair nicer in the morning....too much work for me and I told myself..never go for perm again. I better keep my hair straight long and it make me feel fresh too.

No. I don't do anything for anyone, except I like it to. I don't want to be someone else wants me to be. You live for yourself. You live your life. So, you choose your way, you responsible for it. ^^

my head is square and round at the bottom nothing much can fit my head nicely , therefore usually people will prefer my hair are short.Added somemore i don comb my hair usually just wet and swipe it back and hence even parents and girlfriend prefer my hair to be cut short and neatly underwise it will be messy and uneven and tingling anywhere.Personally i don favour people making noise about my hair either.

Hello Icdelmendo18! How are you?????? It's been quite a while i didn't see you. Yes, i remember you!!!! :) If you ask me about it, no, i do it for myself. My girlfriend has no problems with it and neither my parents, unless i grow them too long. Of course about trimming my beard, that is another thing, of no concern to you! Anyways... I hope you are doing good friend!!! Have a nice day!

I've never cut my hair for someone. I cut my hair for myself. If i wanna look clean and tidy, and my hair is long, i cut it short. Plus, i'm more comfortable having a short hair.

My boyfriend thinks that my haircut is pretty cool, as well as many people that I know, so I have never thought of something like that. I always try to have my hair in a way that it will satisfy me, so I can feel good when I look into the mirror. If someone wanted me to change my hair to satisfy them I would probably not do it, as I'm the person who spends most time with myself

Is it intended to women member only? Let me share my experience here. I am a man. I used to cut my hair to satisfy my girlfriend. Now, she is my wife and I don't cut my hair to satisfy her anymore . I cut my hair to make me easier to remove dandruff from my head . Dandruff is suck. I have to cut all of my hair to clean my head easier. Any suggestion to remove dandruff?

I cut my hair when it's too long. when it is long, i feel uncomfortable and hot. So, when i feel it long, i go to haircut. that's all, not to satisfy someone. hi hi.

I think i won't be doing this... i won't have my hair cut and i won't do anything everybody else wants if i am not comfortable, or if i know that is not waht i want to do.

I cut my hair to satisfy my own self. The opinion of other people sometimes push me to make changes on my hair but not always. I always have the last say. More than any one else I believe I alone know what would look better on me.

Yes I do, I cut my hair to satisfy me (of course). I keep a short do because I do not like spending too much time in front of the mirror but even though my hair is short I like it cut with style and texture. I do ask opinions from friends if my new hair looks ok on me. But even if they say it is not as nice or whatever, as long as I am comfortable with it, I am happy.

Usually i just cut my hair whenever i am bored, but i do cut it in a special way due to the fact that my boyfriends like that i have bangs, so i just cut it the way he likes and the rest is on me :)
