Janna had me thinking....

How many of you ladies had a "newlywed" chop?

I ipersonally don't want to cut my hair...I didn't plan to grow it out for the wedding, but grew it out b/c I missed my long hair....

And for those that did chop your hair - did you do it as a "new life, new change" thing, or "I grew it out for the wedding, couldn't wait to get rid of it" or "other"

Re: Janna had me thinking....

I didn't want to lose a lot of length cause I like it, so I got it cut and styled...I had it long, one layer for a year....

It feels a lot lighter and I like it, but still it is long! I did it because I really needed a change and my hair was dead.

Re: Janna had me thinking....

I always go between long hair & just below my shoulders...My hairdresser didn't allow me to cut anything significant prior to the wedding so that I would have a full look! My hair looked beautiful (if I may say so) but I just got tired of not being able to style it for work! When my hair is long, it gets extra heavy!

Now that the wedding is over, I cut my hair just below my shoulders for two reasons
1) Needed to give it a healthy look again
2) In time for the summer, I can't stand drying my hair for 30 minutes in the morning!

Re: Janna had me thinking....

I cut bangs and changed my hair color

I promised my hubby that I would try going brunette after the wedding since he has only known me as a blonde.

Turns out he loves it, so I will leave it for a couple of months. Personally, I miss being a blonde.

i got the newleywed trim because i had grown my hair so long it was so heavy on the bottom i had to get it cut. i wanted it short at first then i just plain old chickend out maybe next time. but i grew it out for so long i couldnt take it any more i just kept putting it up any way it took to long to do anything with it in the morning.

Re: Janna had me thinking....

I've always had longish hair, but I grew it out long for the wedding. As soon as we came back from the HM I got it cut and layered again. Even DH said on the HM, when we got home I had to cut my hair it was even too long for him!!!

Re: Janna had me thinking....

I'm still growing my hair out, even after the wedding. With my hair texture, it's easier for me to style when it's long and the length weighs it down, so my hair doesn't look so "big". I did, however, get rid of my highlights that I had for the wedding because they were way to expensive/time consuming to keep up. I'm back to my natural color (I think )

Re: Janna had me thinking....

I usually keep my hair pretty short, although I occasionally let it grow long. After we got engaged I got a nice cut and then let it grow out for the wedding (about 9 months). It grew out long enough that I could wear it in the style I wanted, but was the longest it's been in a very, very long time. I was looking forward to cutting it all off and was so happy when I did.

Re: Janna had me thinking....

Ha, Christine, you have to remember we have VERY different hair!!!

While yours tends to be wavy and thick (I remember you mentioned japanese straightening) mine is baby fine and thin. So anytime it gets past my shoulders, it just lies flat and is hard to make it look full unless I use rollers.

I'm a wash and go kind of gal, so I wanted something easy to deal with that would look great even if I barely did anything to it. And as for the color I was forced to change it because my hair was turning GREEN after going over my bad attempt at highlights with an ash brown.

As long as DH is happy with it, I don't care!!

I did the same thing yesterday. Chopped it off! I love it, I didn't have it cut for almost 2 years growing it out for the wedding. I am happy that it is cut and looks healthy again. YEAH! So easy too for the summer. I love it!!!!!!

Re: Janna had me thinking....

I grew mine out for the wedding, and if I'd had my way it would have been chopped the next day - before the honeymoon. It ended up taking me a few weeks, but I couldn't wait to get rid of it. I just don't like myself with long hair.

I chopped my hair on my honeymoon in Mexico. It went from almost waist length to chin length. Best haircut ever!
