Post wedding CHOP!

I don't know about you long haired ladies, but I'm SO ready to get rid of my hair. I've been growing it out for over a year to get it to the length I want for the wedding, but as soon as we tie the knot, it's coming OFF. My dog pulls it out, FH pulls it out, I get it caught in everything (car door,...

I don't know about you long haired ladies, but I'm SO ready to get rid of my hair. I've been growing it out for over a year to get it to the length I want for the wedding, but as soon as we tie the knot, it's coming OFF. My dog pulls it out, FH pulls it out, I get it caught in everything (car door, hangers, my ring) and my poor shower drain can't take much more of it. I've already got my new style picked out: the long bob a-la Jessica Alba. I love it because it can keep some of the length in the front, while it being short and manageable in the back.

Are any of you ladies making a drastic change after the wedding? Do you have a style picked out?

First pic: My hair now (it's actually a little longer)

    I've been thinking of doing it.... but since we want to start having kids relatively soon after our wedding... I want to have that long luxurious extra beautiful hair that pregnant women get. I've sort of wanted to chop it all off right before I have a baby (I'm talking jennifer lawrence/miley cyress short... which I've done before) so that I don't have long hair during birth and when I really won't care about my appearance when I'm sleep deprived Smiley tongue

    My Mrs. chop before and after. I felt the same way as you do now, KM. I was so ready, and I'm usually SUPER attached to my hair. First time in a WHILE that I didn't care, and just wanted some of it off. I cut about 6 inches off.

    Pre-wedding I was so sick of my hair that I was ready to shave it off.

    But I'm now 4 months post wedding and I still haven't done anything! I spent so long growing it out that I've become really attached to it. I have an appointment tomorrow, maybe I'll take off a couple of inches....

    I think I'll go back to this haircut after the wedding. HAHAHAHAHAHA! LOL! Actually - I think I sported it pretty well :-)

    ETA: I am just being snarky...

    LOL! Thanks. I am going to get it cut someday, but I'm old, and I don't want the grandma haircut yet.

    I want to chop my hair off after the wedding so badly, but it has taken so much work to grow it out. Yet It is so frustrating because it falls out and gets all over everything and like you said, clogs the drain; hate to say it, but the FH doesn't like to clean out the drain for me. So I'm thinking I too will cut off a few inches after the nuptials.

    I cut my hair 4 times after the wedding. Each time got shorter. I love it. But then I decided to stop getting relaxers, and now Im going natural. Idk why, something about being married made me adventurous with my hair. I will post pics later.

    Karen: bald is beautiful!

    Chantel: yes I want to see!

    Another thing I hate is that when it gets really long, it falls really flat and just looks...shabby, unless I take a half hour and do something with it. Ain't nobody got time for that.

    For anyone who is thinking about doing the hair chop. Please consider donating to locks of love, please see the below website. I donated my hair to them before and it is a great cause. They will make your donated hair into wigs for unfortunate children who lost their hair for health reasons.

    Yes! So looking forward to chopping it off. My hair is very long. Not sure if I have a "hairstyle" for afterwards. But I'll be chopping off about 10" but still long enough to fit into a ponytail (so probably just around my shoulders with a bit of layering).

    Even FH wants a haircut. I love it hair but he is tired of having to brush it (one or two strokes in the morning lol) but he wants a buzz cut

    Yes! Omg I can hardly wait to cut my hair! I started growing it out last august (as in 2013) and will be cutting it off in June. So freaking excited it is going to be awesome. I was actually just talking to FH about this on the weekend. He loves the long hair, but it drives him nuts that every time he gets close to me he incidentally pulls it. So I think he is excited for the chop as well. Smiley smile
