I CHOPPED MY DREADS OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, it's the first step! I will warn it will take getting used to seeing yourself with out the dreads..

Aww...everything will turn out ok...you have a little over a year to grow it out!

I wish we could see some before and after hair pictures...

Yeah we need some pics!

Aww... Its going to take a while but it will grow out...

I ruined my hair a couple years back by trying to dye it from black to blond and had to cut it off because it was breaking off left and right and its just now getting to a length i like but it will be fine your fh would never leave you over something like your hair and I am sure you will look beautiful the day of... Sorry you had to cut it all of but i think you will be happy you did in the long run

Start treating your hair now so that it grows back fast and healthy! You still have plenty of time for it to grow out...by next May, it could be a whole foot longer. I love the look of dreads, but a cute pixie cut is more elegant than dreads for a bride.

I guess I see it a little differently. I think a short natural cut is funky, sassy, protrays a certain sense of confidence and depending on the style can tell alot about a woman. I know going from long to short can be tramatic but keep a open mind and rock it!! Remember the hair doesn't make you the woman you are. Just my thoughts...

It'll be okay!!! Go have a hair dresser or stylist check it out.. they will help you!! you will look beautiful

Oh wow, I've been thinking of taking up dreads but FH wants me to wait until after the wedding to go for it. I personally don't see anything wrong with dreads on the wedding day as long as they are nice dreads and not the ones that form from neglect and mistreatment of hair.

I'm sorry that the hairstyle wasn't for you. You have plenty of time for you hair to grow back before the wedding.

I'm with Crystal on this one. Own your hair... whatever length it is!

Hey I posted a discussion earlier for you. I couldn't figure out how to pm you kept telling me restricted. anyway it's titled Vanessa R.

You might not even need extensions come wedding time. Your hair will probably grow faster than ever now that it is all fresh and no split ends... just take vitamins and eat Jell-o! My sister in laws hair is very short... like 4 inches or so and it looked great on her wedding... took a lot of trial and error but you can make any hair look great!

Yeah if you don't use extensions it will definitly still look cute by the wedding

Thank you ladies so much! so last night as i said i had a bit of a breakdown but i had not at that point tried to style it...... i have canceled my apt because today a snipped here and there and have found that it looks great when i do it up with a bit of FH's hair gel.lol

Prenatal vitamins may help your hair grow. I'm on them now and my hair is luscious and my nails are long and strong. Try it. OTC store brand will work fine.

I had a shaved head when I was in HS- work it girly!!! Even it out- but be proud of that beautiful round head

OK I posted a pic of me with short hair. Check out the new look!

I tried to look but it says its restricted

There i fixed it and put it in my avatar
