My hair is gone...

I have to whine for a moment, so please excuse me ladies (and lurking gents). I got all of my hair cut off. It is a nice cut, but it does not look good on me. I feel just awful. I know it is only hair and that there are far more important things going on in the world, but I am just so sad. I am also getting tired of wearing hats.

Awwwww, sweetie! How much did you cut? Any chance of the style growing on you? (Maybe that was a bad choice of words...) I just got about 8 inches cut off and am very happy with the style, although I do miss the length a little bit. However, I really enjoy the positives - it takes a lot less time and shampoo to wash my hair, and I don't have to give it its own separate towel after a shower anymore.

At least you don't look like this guy:

did you just decide to cut it short or was there a reason you had to?
how does your husband feel about the hair cut?
i met my wife when she had VERY short hair (out of basic and tech school, so it wasn't even to her shoulder.)

she has really long hair now, but she looks sexy either way.

It is only hair and I think we can all atest to having a bad haircut at one time or another. It will grow back and you never know it may grow on you,or you just find another way to style it and make it look better.

Geez--it wasn't two weeks ago I plainly stated--"NEVER cut your hair!"--then you do it anyway. Oh geez.

You're still beautiful, but PLEASE don't do it again--ever. Please.

Oh man, I know exactly how you feel.

I even had to fix my haircut when I got home, thus cutting off more.

I miss my long hair. But it WILL grow back.

I'm sorry.

A bad hair cut just sucks. Play around with it and see if you can do something with it that you might like. Keep chanting "It'll grow back..... It'll grow back...."

there is nothing worst than a bad haircut! can you get it restyled? go someplace else and have them fix it? I had to do that back in Dec., got my hair cut (cut off about 9 inches) and it looked horrible!!! So I went someplace else and had them fix it, I had to go much shorter than I had wanted but I was a lot happier after.
Can you get it back in a pony tail? Use lots of gel? straighten it? curl it?

hey at least your will grow back. I'm bald for life

Thanks everyone for being so understanding. I really had to cut it, because it was so damaged from dying it, and being in the sun more. It can't be pulled back or styled differently. It is layered and the longest layer is 2 inches. The style is really cute. Think Tinkerbell. It is just not all that good on me.

I will live and cat I have been chanting. Hope it works. I do feel more positive today. I still don't like it, but I am not as bumed out as I was last night.

Well at least you have limits. I think my husband is going to pout for a year! Actually he has seen me do so many goofy things with my hair that he is becoming immune.

If I were your husband I would rag you until it was past your shoulders and fun to play in again.

(If that doesn't make sense, read the link I posted above, paying particular attention to my wife's post.)

Saw your wife's post and my hub can't rag me too bad he shave his head and I am sad to say he is bald again. He's always a hottie but I like his hair.

This is what I do not get. Hubbies do NOT want their wifes to cut their hair. (Beekeeper) But yet it is ok for them to cut thiers, shave, or what ever they deem fit for them. (I personally love it when hubby keeps his hair long, but nope, it short as short)
How about understanding that sometimes, no matter how long, the hair needs cut?!?!
I love my hubby dearly, but I would get the same reaction as Beekeepers if I was to cut my hair. Actually I do, once a mth when I trim about an inch off the bottom. 1 INCH!! this does not take it above my shoulders, he still has the hair to play with, and I am minus dead hair so it looks healthy. GRRRR Understand men, it needs to be done now and then.

wifeofgunnut... sorry it didn't turn out right, I'm saying the it will grow chant for you here. I hate a bad cut too.

Ladies, it's just the double standard that exists for men and women. It's the same thing as women being stuck with childbirth, menstruation, PMS, menopause and squatting to pee--it just IS. We have to "act like men" even when we're terrified, support the family even when it's (sometimes) nearly impossible, die first (avg. of 7 years), and go bald. We didn't make those rules--that's just the way it is. Long, sexy, beautiful hair seems like a fairly small price to keep us quiet and (very!) happy. We love you ladies.

I saw an internet "joke" that summed it up nicely--Men marry women expecting they will never change, but they always do; women marry men expecting they WILL change, and they never do. That's it--I'm betting the vast majority of you ladies had long hair during your "men bagging" year(s). It's like bait. We expect it to remain. <shrug>

Get extensions.

I've never done it, but I hear you can. Or change the color. That might help you like it more. ohmmmmmm "it will grow back" ohmmmmm

Hang in there lady!

And this thread is worthless without pics.

Don't fell to bad. Mine started falling out at 17. I'm 31 now, and have no idea how much is left because I've been shaving the last few years, but I'm sure it's not much!

mine started about 20 and i turned 37 this month. I look like a damn franciscan monk with the bowl cut.

Guys, a lot of women (myself included) find bald or balding men sexxy.

it used to bother me. now i don't care. When we were at hooters for my birthday the waitress carded me. i took my hat off and showed her my bald spot. I have fun with it now. I have noticed a few good things.

the glare off the back of my head blinds cameras at banks and gas stations <it really does the monitors whites out>. So i guess when i turn to a life of crime i have that going for me.

On another note, when I was younger and dumber my wife came in with a new haircut and asked me what I thought. I picked up a paper sack off the taple and dropped it on her head.

Trust me, I will NEVER do that again

Sorry to hear about your hair.

I hope it grows back fast.

Years ago, I had long hair. I got a bad cut and in order to fix the damage, it had to be cut less than 2 inches all over. I had nightmares for months and it took 15 years to grow completely back. I even tried a wig.

Everyone gave me tips like trimming it, but since it grows slowly, trimming only caused me to loose the length I had gained from the last 'trim'.

Is it just hats you don't like? You could wear a bandana on your head, or something like it.... Or put up with a hat until it's long enough do do what you want with it.

Or...... You could dye it. Some outrageous color - that way it takes the attention off your hair.

Thanks everyone for the words of support. My hair is going to grow, and I have learned to ignore it. I was looking at pics of myself from a few days ago, and realized I look like a phy. ed. teacher, but I will survive.
