Youth and Obesity…It’s all in the hair?
My hair is longer than it has been in at least a decade. After cheating on my stylist the last time I ventured out for a shearing, I haven’t had the desire to walk into a salon. I’ve been fooling myself (an easy task) by having a little internal discussion proclaiming longer hair in the summer when I’m in and out of the pool is so much easier and requires less fussing than short hair.
It’s not all fun and pony tails though. You know how you start to go a little batty when you try to grow your hair out? You get to a point when you’re not sure you can stand the awkward length for one more second. You start asking yourself why the heck your tresses should be long when it just means you constantly wear those silky locks in an up do. Wouldn’t it just be easier to hack it all off again?
Unsure of which little inside voice to follow, I made the mistake of asking my husband for his opinion.
“Well,” he started with a smirk. “When your hair is long it makes your face look thinner and when your hair is short you always look so young.”
What am I supposed to do with that? Now I’m contemplating growing it down to my butt to see if it makes my hips look thinner, or shaving it off entirely to see if I’ll start getting carded again.
You’ve just learned one of Life’s Great Lessons:
NEVER EVER EVER ask you husband what he thinks of your hair.
NEVER.

So midlength means what? Chubby and old-ish? Oh, wait. That is pretty accurate in my case…

Oh my. He did create quite the conundrum.

Oh, they love to play it safe; don’t they?
Seriously, I like long; don’t know what I’d do most days w/o ponytail capability…

Okay, it’s officially. I agree with Jan.
CATEGORICALLY.

In the summer I have to have my hair long enough to have it all (bangs too) pulled off my face. I can’t stand to have my hair touching my face or neck when I’m sweaty and it’s 95 degrees out.
But I’ve learned not to ask my husband his opinion on things like hair and clothes; the answer never helps.
My hair too is long but always up … I think about cutting it all the time!

You can’t put a man in a no win situation and then complain when he doesn’t give you a straight answer. I tend to only ask Bear these questions when I know my own answer, but I only do it to watch him squirm. Its revenge for his clean freak streaks.

He is a clever one. He figured out a way to compliment you both ways!

I’m in the growing-out hair phase. At wit’s end, but not cutting it any time soon. (Aiming to give to Locks of Love again before I’m all gray.)
Your husband? Totally knows how to walk the line perfectly. Definitely a keeper.

I agree with all the ladies here…when we women need an opinion on hair…never ask hubby..always ask your female friends. I totally agree with Debbie on this one.
Hubby is one smart man…and definitely a keeper!

Hehe my husband always gives me the wrong answer to.
My hair is long and I always wear it up. I like that with a simple, long haircut (no layers, no bangs) I don’t need to go to the hair salon more than twice a year. It’s one of the few areas where I’m actually low-maintenance!

Post a picture, dear. WE will tell you. Never ask a man, especially a husband. MHS LOVES long hair. I could color it purple and cut it two inches shorter and the first thing he would say is, “WOW, it’s short!”

Long hair thinner, short hair younger… I recently cut my hair short (ish – short for me it’s short!) and I do look younger… I wonder if the same applies to straight vs. curly?
And do fat ankles look thinner if you forgo shaving for a bit? Not that I am going to try, just wondering
tracys last blog post..the problem with school
I’m stuck in the rut of growing it back out long but clipping it up every day. My theory is….at least if it’s long I can do more with it then when it’s short. Besides, when it’s short my face looks fatter. Ugh…..hair drama
