| I've been thinkin about cutting my hair off and on for a long time and just feel like I want a change! It was about 2-3 inches past my boobs and I cut it off up to the length it is now in the picture because I was sick of my dead ends. Lol. It's kinda uneven so don't pay attention to that! Haha. I would like a sexy shoulder length/a little past it or a long angled bob or someday a pixie but I don't wanna go that short for a long time. What do you all think? I have thin hair and am afraid it may look like I don't have a lot of hair. Is it easier to take care of? Look ok with a cowboy hat? Life's short so I just wanna do it but am hesitant at the same time! I also need to find a good hair dresser to do it. Show me your hairstyles, experiences, and opinion on if I should!

Location: Montana | Do it! I did it 2 years ago and loved it (I donated my hair to Locks of Love) and I plan on doing it again this fall. For me short hair is much easier to take care of because mine tangles so bad (my hair is thick, but fine and straight as string). I'm *thinking* about going for a pixie this time. I don't have any pics of my hair on this computer, but I'm pretty sure you would like a bob. Go to hairfinder.com...they have every hairstyle I think you could possibly think of on there...to get some different ideas. Good luck! :) |

Location: Minnesota | My hair at its longest was down to the bottom of my back. I cut my hair into an inverted bob(short in the back and longer in the front) and I loved it. It actually made it look like I had thicker hair. My hair has been falling out for the last couple years and cutting it short really helped. Im in the process of growing it back out but when it was really short I loved it. |

| Thank you guys for the advice!! I'm thinkin I'm gonna do it but I'm very nervous! I guess it depends on the length or style but is it hard to just throw into something when you don't wanna fix it? More times than none I put my hair in a pony tail or in a braid because I'm lazy. Lol |

| I cut about 6 inches off my hair about 2 months ago, and I am so glad I did it. It wasn't terribly long, maybe came down to the middle of my back. I have always had long hair. I had a traumatizing experience when I was a kid about cutting my hair short, and in general, was afraid my face shape wouldn't look good with short hair. So, I'm heading back to get my color touched up and cut off again SHORTER than the first time.
Short hair is soo much easier to deal with. It dries faster, it doesn't take as long to style, and yes you can still throw it in a pony tail, or baseball cap.
ETA: This is the picture I showed my stylist when I went in. So, it's about that length.

| I love that hairstyle! I actually have that picture as one of the ones that I would like! I'm glad I'd still be able to put it in a pony tail or a ball cap too. I also have been worried that my face shape wouldn't look good but I actually have a twin sister who got her hair cut off about 5 years ago and it looked awesome on her so maybe a change will look good on me too  |

Location: Phoenix | I've had a reverse bob which was fun, but you have to straighten it most times. The hairstyle I liked the best was the shoulder/collarbone same length cut, I could do a pony, leave it wavy or straighten. I'm growing out my hair again...it's to the bra strap!

| Your hair looks awesome!! I'm glad to hear everyone could still do a pony tail. I think I'm shooting for a little below shoulder length and slightly angled and layered! |

That would be cute--like a reverse long bob. I did that while mine was growing out. |

| This is what I'm going for and I think I found someone to do it! I've heard good reviews and seen pictures of similar hairstyles she's done and they look good. She may be able to do it tomorrow so if she does, wish me luck! I'll post pictures once I'm done. Pray it comes out the way I want it  lol

Location: Kentucky | Pixies rule. Seriously, I hacked off about 8 inches last October and never looked back. My hair is THICK and it only takes about 10 minutes to blow dry and style. With long hair, I wore it up in a pony tail all the time. It was boring. I saw that Kaley Cuoco chopped her hair off and took that picture to my hairstylist. Don't be scared!!
This is a goofy picture from this weekend. Under a cowboy hat I just brush my hair behind my ears and push the hat down. Works perfect.
This is when I first got it cut, so it's a bit longer here:

Location: Montana | Murphy, I like that haircut! You just gave me an idea for mine this fall!
Last time I cut my hair, I went with Diana Agron type bob...I'll see if I can find a pic of it.

| I love your hair cuts!! I have really thought about the pixie but I think I'm going to ease my way into short hair first because I'm just not used to it and last time my hair was short was when I was little. Lol. Someday I hope I can get a pixie because I love them!! |

Location: Phoenix | Something to keep in mind...with really short hair that you can't get in a pony--it does get hot. I remember being warmer because I couldn't get my hair OFF my head. |

Location: Loma Linda, CA | I actually just chopped mine off last week.
It was pretty long, down to my mid-back, but I dye my hair a lot and it was pretty much dead and it's hot so I decided to do a chop off.
It was supposed to be shoulder length - oops lol!
But I actually like my hair short. It's long enough to still put up in a pony tail and doesn't take long to dry after a shower :P
And this was my hair before. I don't take many selfies this is the best I had lol

I'm actually cooler with my haircut. My hair is so thick that my stylist thins it down more with this haircut. If I want to keep it totally out of my face, I throw on a ballcap. |
