haircut question
So, I'm getting my haircut tomorrow. Right now, my hair is pretty long (about an inch or two below my shoulders). I think it looks horrible and dead, and was planning on taking it pretty short (middle of neck). But, my husband really, really wants me to keep it long. I'm conflicted... Ordinarily I would eye roll a man who has "requests" of this nature, but DH is so sweet about it, and just really likes my hair long.
Would you change your plans to appease DH? I can't decide!
Re: haircut question
My H usually has zero opinion about what I wear, how I do my hair, etc. I seriously have to twist his arm to to give me an opinion, "do you like this dress or that dress better for tonight?" type stuff.
However, he has very strong opinions on the length of my hair, which is really out of character for him. He hates short hair, or "the mom cut" as he calls it. I think it's common for men to have the opinion that long hair is beautiful, sexy, and youthful, and to just not feel the same way about short hair. He's pretty much told me I can never get a mom cut, haha.
Honestly I feel the same way as H, I've always had long hair, so I guess I don't have to dilemma of keeping it how he likes it versus how I want it. I guess I always want to look attractive to my H, so even if I wanted to cut it really short I wouldn't because I'd hate to feel like my H thinks my haircut is unattractive.
What if you compromised and cut off the dead/unhealthy ends - maybe go halfway between where he wants it and where you want it? I'd explain to him that in order to keep hair healthy, you HAVE to cut some of it. Either that, or I'd tell him to give you a chance - if you cut it short and he hates it, say that you'll grow it out again.
Good luck!
I used to have just above the shoulder length hair but then I grew it out for the wedding. Now it's maybe an inch or two longer than yours and I LOVE IT! Mostly because I can do more with it. My H has no opinion on anything (clothes, makeup, hair) so if he said he had a preference I'd probably go with that.
I agree with Samantha, if you're not sure whether to keep it long or short compromise and cut it to somewhere in the middle. If you're still sick of it go back to having it shorter next time you get it cut.
I have a pixie cut. My hair is so thick and I have so much of it, that if it's long it gives me headaches. That and it takes hours to dry.
Is there a halfway point that you guys can compromise on?
Is there a way for you to get long layers, giving your hair a new look and pleasing your husband by keeping it long?
My hair is just below my shoulder blades and I love having it long, but I would imagine I would want it to be shorter (not too short) from time to time. DH does not like short hair, and loves it long...
I don't know I guess I wouldn't really change my hair plans to appease DH, only because I am sure whatever you do with your hair he will love. Kinda like how he would say you would look beautiful in a brown paper bag.
I put off cutting my hair because H likes it long...until I found a coupon for a hair salon that has a good rep...hahah. I used to do crazy things to my hair and change it every 3-5 months, but H has only seen it in more or less one style and one color. He gets scared when I start talking about changing it...but I start talking about it 3-6 months before I do it so he can get used to the idea. But I wouldn't have married a man who was shallow and selfish enough to tell me I can't or shouldn't wear my hair the way I want to and the way I feel good about myself. so NO I wouldn't change my haircut plans for a guy ever. He better love me for more then my hair anways.
Middle of the neck with a sexy sleek cut sounds like a good compromise...not mommy, not too short...but short enough to have something different and get rid of the dead. I say do it.
