Long layers. Add some shorter pieces around your face. It will give it more dimension

I have loved my log hair until recently...
When I put it in a bun or pony tail it almost gives me a headache because its so heavy!!
The ends feel very rough and a lot of the time look frizzy.
It takes forever to dry, curl, style, everything!
And when I do finally get the curl I want it fall out within a half hour, even after dousing it with hairspray!
My problem is, I want to cut it, but don't want to regret it and hate myself.
Any suggestions?
With your hair, I don't think it's too long.
Unless its bothering you like me :/

Roo it sounds like we're the same! Yes I'm so scared of getting it cut, I hate that feeling of regret after a bad cut, or looking through photos of how long it was before the cut. It just feels so flat at the moment, and I wonder if people think hair this long looks silly? :/

Your hair isn't too long... Trust me I know ppl who have it past their butts! Lol I personally don't super long hair... yours is a good length, maybe some long layers.

Thank you Heather! Your advice helps a lot!
I think it would do my hair good to do what you suggested!
Plus it's hair, it grows back :D

Abi, it seems we are the same!
I'm so scared to cut it and look awful!
But the good news is it will grow back if I didn't like it shorter.
I've wondered the same about my hair, if people think it looks silly because it is so long!
I know the feeling of it feeling flat also.
ug!

You know It's too long when you can't go to the toilet.

I too once had very long hair, but it was starting to make my head hurt with all the weight. I'd suggest chopping a few inches off and layering to give more body. But please make sure you invest in a great stylist for this. No $20 haircut.--I learned the hard way. Do a little research on stylists in your area and take photos with you of what you want. You may be out $65-100 when all is said and done, but you'll be very happy!

I think long hair is beautiful, and most guys I know think it is too. I cut mine out of grief about two years ago, then a few Weeks later I hated it. I've been growing it since, only trimming when needed, and even that is very difficult for me, but it helps! My suggestion for both of you is keep your length if its what YOU like. Just get some layering done so that its not so heavy. Then you get the best of both worlds. Personally I do my hair for me, not for anyone else. You guys should too :)

In my opinion hair is to long if you have to pull it to the front or put it up before you sit Down(so you don't sit on it)

Too long is when it's too much for you to manage. It's your opinion really cuz it's your hair. I would suggest getting more layers and getting the ends trimmed.

Jelena - the tip is eating a good diet including cheese, milk and nuts as they help hair and nail growth. And to be patient - in that inbetweeny short and long length hair it feels like forever until its going to grow; but it does and if you use heat protection products and don't over expose your hair to harmful chemicals you should be fine! To the rest of you - thank you so much for the advice, I think I'll trim a couple of inches off my hair and add some layers, not brave enough yet for something extreme! Sade - hair donation is a lovely idea and a friend of mine did it recently (a whole 16cm of hair!), it is a wonderful cause and if I get brave enough to go pixie short again, I will certainly donate it

& I agree with Nichole b. I used to have super long hair & then cut it short with layers & I hate it in still trying to grow it out a year later.
