I blame all the shampoo commercials where they've got these women flinging their long, glossy manes back and forth. The short-haired women always strike me as some sort of "sporty" token.

This is much more fun.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Drew, my deepest sympathies to you and your family. I feel awful for you guys but I am so glad that your father did not suffer for an extended period of time.

{{{Drew & Kristin}}}

and since I forgot to respond before {{{Connie}}} I am also sorry for your loss. I'm glad you could make the travel and I hope the funeral isn't a huge family drama for you.

Thank you, Cash. I won't have to be there long, and at least I'll get to fly. I'm provincial enough that just riding on a plane is an adventure for me.

When I was younger, I wore my hair below my shoulders. I had tons of body and natural curl, so it always looked pretty good. The right cut looked amazing on me, but it was hard to find people who could give me the right cut. Unfortunately, part of the aging process is a distinct change in the texture of my hair. Between thinning hair and a high percentage of gray hair, I can't grow it long anymore. It gets all ratty and thin at the ends. And, right now, with all the weight I'm carrying, a very short pixie with some length at the crown to provide height is actually a lot more flattering on me. I'm all about looking good, who doesn't want to look their best?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Cutting off my butt-length hair was a huge deal for me mainly because I knew I could never get it back. It would probably take me 10 years to grow it out again that long. And it was fabulous hair. It was thick and shiny and wonderful and I loved it. I could change my entire look in thirty seconds by how I styled it.

I do think my face looks better when my hair is short, and obviously with that much hair I would never be able to maintain my color, but I miss the hair itself. I miss the weight of it, and the flexibility it offered.

I frequently make longing noises about wanting a bob. Every time, I am assured by people I trust that a bob would be kinda horrible on me, and that I Must Not Get One. The fact that I'm going to get layers added to my hair on Saturday is kind of a big step for me.

Jilli, I think a bob would look good on you, if it's the right bob. It's a very versatile cut that can take a lot of different looks and silhouettes. But you gotta really trust your hairdresser to know what looks good on you. You could always try some wigs to see if there would be a compelling reason to cut it. Otherwise, why change something that works for you and looks good, to boot?

I can only do supershort if I stay below a certain weight. And cutting it seems to bring on the weight gain. My mother and aunts always had short hair, and I associate it with a certain middle aged stodginess.

I have very thick, slightly wavy, tangle-prone hair. It grows fast and looks good down to my waist. I am wanting it that long for the first time in a decade.
