Non-Growth Oriented Thread for Shorter Lengths

[spidermom]

I love this haircut! The only thing it hasn't handled well was this morning when I just let it air dry without doing anything with it because I knew I'd be using heat protectant and hot rollers later. It dried all fluffy and disheveled-looking. I'm not bothered. I know when I twirl a bit of curl creme through it, it air dries beautifully.

I am actively growing my hair right now, but some of my favorite people are on this thread!

Also, some day, I might be back to short and enjoying it, so I want to pick up tips while I can, so I hope you all don't mind if I lurk and comment on this thread occasionally.

Spidermom Oh my gosh! I love your hair! it looks so good and you look beautiful! I love the curls, the twist and the flower! Gorgeous!

Ooooh look at you! Sure looks pretty to me!

Great idea for a thread, I don't belong here as I'm on a quest for waist length hair, but I'm nosey

Spidermom, your hair looks great, it really suits you and I know I've said it before but you have such a lovely face. Don't worry I'll get it over it soon haha

[HairPlease]

Spidermom, you look fabulous.

I'm so glad this thread was started. I'm still mixed about growing or cutting at this point. I intend to not trim or cut in 2017 which will take me to APL, but I may cut back again.

I'm still happily growing, but I like seeing people's short hair, too, so I will be snooping! HAHA! There are a lot of shorter cuts that I find very cute, though I never seem to love how they look on my face and always end up regrowing. (I'm a serial haircutter and re-grower! LOL)

I want to see pictures of other people's styles, too.

Well, mine's super short and green right now. And a little flat in the pic, because I'd been wearing a hat. It generally stands straight out.

Anje, I've been thinking of going super short like you. In fact, I was sure I was going to in the summer for easy swimming maintenance but I just never got around to it and then the summer was over. Do you just buzz it yourself? I love green hair too.

Spidermom, your hair is so thick compared to the women in my life who are your age. Looks amazing, healthy, and fun and you style it well.

I'm growing, but it's not my priority. I meant to go to just above waist and kept going, because why not? I'm scared of short hair styling requirements. But I'm looking forward to trying keratin straightening, and if that works out maybe short styles will be more open to me. If it doesn't work out, I may be cutting back all the chemical induced damage! It's worth it to me to try: I'd much rather have smooth hair than long hair.

Well, Hubby buzzed it for me the first time. I've taken it a few notches shorter since then on my own.

It's worth saying that I've probably gotten 3 or 4 salon cuts since I finished high school. I'd grow it for a few years, then get a bunch cut off; learning to trim it myself when I joined LHC was great because I didn't have to go through the hassle of dragging myself to a salon anymore! Doing it myself is pretty much in character for me.
