Are you counting the days until you can cut your hair?

As a marathon runner, normally I keep my hair super short this time of year, because it's hot as blazes out. I'm racing a half marathon tomorrow, and I'm dying that my hair is so long. But alas, the sacrifices we make for having enough hair to do something for the wedding pictures, right? Seriously,...

Seriously, this is so first world problem, but I'm counting the days until I can cut my hair short again as much as I am for the wedding itself.

    I'm a marathon runner too! I'm a big fan of ponytail with a braided tail or ponytail and a bun

    I'm definitely going to do a bun for tomorrow's race. (I can't braid my own hair because of a disability)

    I'm the odd man out, the wedding has made me really try to keep my hair healthy and it's grown into a nice head of hair. I'm keeping what I've got and going to try to go even longer - hair loss runs in my family so I've been taking supplements to keep what I've got and it's been working well.

    I will be sadly cutting my hair after the wedding. I love my long hair but need to cut off a solid 4 inches of damaged ends. I refuse to do it beforehand though.

    I've been growing mine out for almost 2 years now. I've had a few trims, but I will definitely be cutting mine drastically shorter after the wedding. I will also likely be adding fun colors back in. I loved my bright purple I had before. I cant wait!!

    You might want to wear a hat! I have really long hair and just cut off 4 inches. Nobody even noticed. HaHa! I may go shorter after the wedding although I live being able to pull it into a bun or ponytail.

    My hair isn't super long (I actually wish it was longer) so I'm probably not going to cut it short after the wedding, but I've had this insane itch to get bangs lately. So probably immediately after the wedding I'm getting bangs and going back to some other hair color that doesn't cost me $300 a month to maintain (I'm blonde now, naturally very dark brown). Can't wait!

    I love my short hair! I have an asymmetrical pixie cut and recently have gotten a ton of compliments on it. I dont plan on growing my hair out for the wedding. I dont see why a bride can't rock short hair for her wedding. I have gotten some side eye about this from people but to me I don't see the big deal. Having short hair has been the best personal style decision I have ever made.

    I cut my hair off a week after the wedding. Would have done it sooner but we were traveling. We were still on our honeymoon but I found a great clips and told her to 'chop it off' haha

    Cannot wait to just cut...I want to drastically change mine. I have had long hair since I was a kid. I need something new and different.
