Yeah, I thought so - you ever notice how it gets straighter as it gets longer? That's why layers are so cool - they let you have longer hair and still have the curl. As someone once told me when I first got mine layered and was complaining about the curl: "You know what people have to PAY to have hair like that?!"
LOL

I was one of those people who tried to iron her hair to no avail when I was younger and had hair down my back!!

I'm at the point now, where I can't "do" anything with my hair. It's been12 weeks since I got it cut, and I can't get it cut until next Saturday. It is so true that those who have curls want it straight, and those who have straight want it curls. But with mine, it's just kind of in the middle. If I curl it, it goes DOINK into springy bobbers, and if I straighten it, it frizzes around the edges. And if I leave it, it's kind of half curly and looks dumb. So there's no way to win, other than get it cut every 2-3 months.

I also do the layered thing I mentioned because I can put it up in a "ponytail" and the curls kind of cascade. I am at that "hot flash" point in my life where I can't stand hair on my neck - sigh.

The last time I had bangs was probably 5th grade. I'm not a "hair person." I hate doing my hair. My hair is washed, brushed, and parted in the middle...its long. Hippie hair I suppose. My mom hates it, lol..

I got my hair cut in layers last year and I have never regrettes a haircut as I did that one. The reason..............well it WAS still long, but It looked thick from the top and soooooooo thin from the bottom. I hated that. I want my hair to be thick top to bottom. My mom had to cut 8 inches when she cut my hair two days ago because I wanted it straight from the bottom, and she had to cut that much to get rid of the layers and make it straight. Its so much better without the layers. I think layered hair looks better on people with wavy hair. Mine is straight so mine is better cut straight from the bottom.

Yeah, I know what you mean!! My hair is curly, and goes to wavy when it gets long, which is why layers work for me now. That and it looks good up (hot flashes, remember er

) I would love to have long, straight hair!! Both my stepdaughters have hair down past their waist, really thick hair, too!

Hey, what's wrong with that?!?! LOL!!!! I kept mine long, and I still don't have time for "doing" my hair - Just an old hippie, I guess. But, hey, a hippie with a career, so therefore the layers - HA!! LOL

LOL, hey *I* never said there was anything wrong with it...I like my hair the way it is....it's everyone else that has a problem with my hair, not me lol.

It would keep coming in my face and in the water when I'm using the sink and everywhere in FRONT of me! LOL! I need to keep my hair in a pony, or braid, or at least wear a headband to keep my hair from coming in my face!

Errr...well....not a "girlie" person either...when I was a kid my mom said I'd rip bows out of my hair before she could get them in, lol. I don't think you would *ever* see me wearing pink in any form.

Well, my hair is long and yet somehow I manage to bath dogs every day, heh. You get used to it. It's very annoying when the wind is blowing though.

I didn't use to mind wearing pink...but then I married a "redhead." So I officially gave up that color because I didn't want to clash.

I cannot stand having my hair in my face ; makes me so nervous . I want my hair long enough , so I can put it in a "tail" ...!
Everybody who has ever seen me with shorter hair , says that shorter hair suits me much better , but as I said , I hate the feeling ...

ps. maybe this is my mom's fault that I want long hair now ... . As a child , she ALWAYS had my hair cut like a boy ... . So the first thing I did as soon as I got maried , is letting my hair grow

About three years ago I realized I was tired of trying to deal with my hair, so I just shaved it all off. I haven't regreted it since. However my friends are trying to convince me to grow out my hair, it's about 2 1/2 inches now and it's way too long for me. So I don't think I'll be growing my hair anytime soon. I like it short.
