should i shave my head or not??

[lynda66]

I get that same problem when I go to the mid-price �30 shops! I have hair that makes most stylists tremble 'cause they really haven't a clue. I've been twice to this one in Knightsbridge, pay quite a lot, but walk away loving my hair! The shops on the corner can do the "trims".

Moral to the story: never trust mid-price "posh" stylists!

i did go to a really posh london one once, i went to see a harley street skin specialist, and mum paid a fortune for my hair cut as a treat, after about 2 weeks, i hated it, so i shaved the sides, so i had a long mohican ......

don't do it lynda,if any of you had stuck on your head what i have,then you will have something to say, i have very frizy hair,fiz,in corrie has nothing,i have to keep mine reasonably short,3 or 4 inch tops,have tried to grow it but it just sticks out in all directions,when i get tarted up to go anywhere special i spend at least 1/2 hour with a hot air brush,and any damp or rain,its fiz again,i was taunted almost to death at school,and work in my younger days,have now learned what i can do with it,NOT MUCH,i wish i had hair like yours,my worst problem the lasst few years,is finding somone who can cut it like i do,have tried a few,they think because it shrinks back it does'nt matter if the lengths are not quiet level,but it does ,if I can do it myself i certainly expect a so called expert to do it how i ask for goodness sake,i to have thaught about shaving it all of,but way in the past,apparently it grows back even frizier

I think you've got a strong, pretty face Lynda & could carry off very short hair, but I'd only do it for charity if I was you & to be honest I myself wouldn't do it at all. Your hair looks lovely long & straight & dark so maybe it's worth persevering with the straighteners or maybe use curling tongs occasionally to bring out the curl. I haven't been to the hairdresser for years & just chop it myself to about shoulder length, I have to wash it everyday, spritz it & spend ages blow drying it otherwise it just looks a total mess as my hair just has a slight kink in it that means it likes to stick out everywhere!

I can see this is a long standing problem.....

[MaureenHall]

No, don't do it Lynda, you've got lovely hair. AND the thing with long hair is that you can put it up if you want to expose some neck (or for a posh do) or leave it down.

is this a bad time to say that I pay �100 per highlight session and �50 per cut usually have a cut 6-weekly basis and highlights quarterly.....bum, I wish I hadn't worked that out.....

Blummin heck piskie!! I grudged the �8.25 mine cost a few weeks ago!!! I guess I visit the hairdresser two times a week. The guys all get their hair cut fairly regularly though and usually a tenner a go! I must have my priorities wrong!

[Seahorse]

I think you should go for it Lynda. It'll soon grow back to a longer style if you decide it's not for you and in the meantime, those wigs look fab.

Go on, get the clippers out. I'm tempted myself now!

[BrideXIII]

you don't actually have to shave it ya know with clippers.

when i got rid of the ex, I grew my hair to 3foot long, then on a whim took theclippers to it, short hair suits me, cos i have a pointy face.

I have ever since used myclippers, with the longest comb, you can get them on the web, or if you have a hirdresser supply shop near.

I use an 8 which gives me a nice inch, and cut with the growth rather than against so it feathers into a pixie like cap, bit of wax to give it texture, voila!

[SlugLobber]

Eek! You serious??

I'm another one in the no camp, if only because you said you did it once and cried about it. I also 'did it once' and cried about it and it was an awful year, waiting for it to grow back to ponytail length. I just don't suit short hair, end of. Your pics look lovely and I really don't think you'll suit very short hair. A bob would be a compromise and wouldn't take long to grow out if you didn't like it.

I hate hair dressers and haven't been to one in nearly three years. I had a mobile one cut it last October, I cut my own in February and plan another cut this weekend! I just get OH to hold a mirror behind me so I can check for any bits I've cut wonky!

i haven'tspent that much at the hairdressers in 42 years lol ....... and son has only been to the hairdressers twice, he prefers me doing it, i even do the dog myself.

Lynda

Don't shave your head, or at least wait a month before you go for it. Your hair looks lovely long and dark. I think, with your lovely, eyes a sleek bob would frame your face nicely and be easy to manage.

not sure you'd really notice the difference between what I have and a 'corner shop' job - I always look a mess anyway, I strive for that erm you understand
....but the hairdressers I use do have lovely recliner chairs that give you a back and leg massage whilst you is getting awashed up
