Location: Kansas | Murphy - 2015-08-10 9:08 AM 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:
Love it murphy! |

| The best thing I've ever done was chop off my hair. I cut it last summer, and it was great. I got it shoulder length. After that, i did it even shorter, but didn't like it as much on me - and it wasn't enough to get into a ponytail while i ride. I just got it done again last week, still shoulder length with long layers. But I got it Balayaged (however you spell that) and it is GORGEOUS!! Highly recommend doing it!! And if you don't like it - it's a good thing hair grows ;) |

| Any pictures from the "older" group say 50 and older? I had shoulder length hair until about a year ago and cut it and now it just curls. I have natural curly/wavy hair and I color it. So basically I just wash and go in the summer. Still not quite what I want and my hair grows slow.... |

| So I got it done today!!! I went this morning and they totally did not do what I wanted and cut it way too short. I want it short but wanted to transition slowly and not do it today. It was not good and I was not happy so I went straight to a place I should have went to begin with and I made an appt for later in the day. They fixed it and it looks so much better! It wasn't what I expected but I like it! I want it to be more dramatic and more length in the front but I'll have to wait til it grows! Overall I'm liking it so far and I can somewhat fit it into a low pony tail that looks good in my cowboy hat

| Thank you everyone!! I really appreciate it! I'm really starting to like it and find that it looks cute in a poof or a low pony tail with a ball cap/ cowboy hat, etc. Now I just need to buy a straightener because it flips out a little. Lol. I have Paul Mitchell root lifter that I've had forever from winning it for a pageant, and I feel like it works pretty well too with my hair. My hair feels thicker and healthier and I'm startin to really like the short hair side of things  |

| Presently, I`m wearing a bob hairstyle, but I give eye-teeth for cutting it short like you or like the girl on photo 8 from here . I really believe such a hairstyle is easy to wear. By the way, my hubby counts the moments before I get my pixie. He says I`ll be very attractive with short hair. |

Location: NE Texas | I still love your "do", Murphy. I've started letting mine grow back out. I didn't go nearly as short as you did, but did get the "let me talk to your supervisor" cut. It was cute, but when it started to grow up, all the curl made me have to flat iron it....BLAH! I just love your pixie and I think I had mine like that once and felt like I was the guy on Beetlejuice with the huge body and teeny little head. LOL |

Location: 31 lengths farms | I so wish I could pull off short hair but don't have the face for it and the shorter my hair gets the more unruly it gets, I was "blessed" with my momma's thick coarse not straight yet not curly hair, LOL!!! I thought I was ready a few years ago and did the A Line longer bob...Lets just say a woman that hates to do their hair, as in combing it probably shouldn't attempt that cut. And of course my hair that normally grows out of a cut I love quickly wouldn't get past my collar bones for love nor money. My sisters both keep their hair shorter and its adorable on them. Apparently those genes skipped me in the genetic order. So jealous of all of you that have "that face". But you suck too, LOL!!! |

Location: Gainesville, TX | Once upon a time I had short hair.
And then I let it grow out to about shoulder length . . .
Now I don't do much with it. I cut about two feet off last August and it still comes down to midback. My hair grows FAST. It's always in a pony tail or braid anymore. So want to get it cut but want to lose some more weight first. Maybe next year. |
