Controlling Impulses To Chop Hair or Change Hair DRASTICALLY!

[TrustMeLove]

Am I the only one who has to control these impulses? I was sitting in my bed really contemplating the steps to get this style.

1) Black Rinse
2) Press..no probably have to get a Relaxer. Keep Bangs, because I was recently told I have a big forehead (Thanks Mom!)
3) Keeping this style w/ no goals, but to look fly ALL THE TIME!

Seriously. I am bored...I gotta take a new step somewhere. I need something new something fresh..something cool.

No, I have to control mine too! In the past, I'd just do the big chop all over again and feel "content" for a while... but a year later, back to the same old place! The last time I got the impulse to do something drastic, I knew I wanted to grow my hair out, so i just got microbraids (and lost some of my edges, grr). And now I'm getting my hair pressed in a couple weeks. Next time I am just buying a wig!

The Rihanna cut is cute though. I would totally rock it if I was willing to cut again, which I am not!

 

[SUPER SWEET]

Get outta my head...im ready for a new sexy hairstyle for 09' Plus im getting tired of my natural hair,much harder than imagined

 

[shortee]

OH my, i ahd this urge for a long time. But stupid me i acted on it and cut my almost apl hair to a long bob. I suck!!!! I regret it now, but it will grow back. My thought process is that i cut off overprocessed hair, which is true. (so that is how i get to sleep at night)

My natural hair is REALLY EASY! I don't fight with it...we don't have any problems. I am just ever changing. BEEN NATURAL 3.5 Yrs. I plan to stay natural, but I have to figure out some new styles or something.

I am moving in a different place and my old style isn't coming with me.

 

[Caramela]

Yes!!! Everytime I see a pic of Dsylla I want bangs. I also want layers. I dream of cutting my hair back to APL. I want to dye it blue black. I want to start roller setting it. It's ridiculous. I cut all these pics out of magazines of what I want, but then I fight myself not to act on them. Well, 2009 is coming and I think I might give in to some of these desires... especially the bangs one, because that one has been a long time coming... also the blue black thing and layers... but I don't know about the APL one.

Buy a wig.

 

[TrustMeLove]

Buy a wig.

That's just not my thing. I tried. But, my head is WAY big and it just always looked wiggy. I figured I just need to make the best of what I have work. lol. Some ladies can wear those falls though. THat would require partly straightening though.

 

[Nonie]

Guess what guys... Wigs cure that urge pronto. I remember my Jheri curl days. I'd want to wear straight swinging hair but if I tried to get my hair straight it was so limp and "lazy" and slimy looking. Enter a bob wig and I had the world fooled... Well, none of my peers were mad about hair as we are so I guess we weren't that attentive. My black friends knew it was a wig coz I couldn't keep my mouth shut. My white friends didn't wait for me to tell them. They would beat me to it by saying, "You guys are so lucky you can wear your hair wavy or straight without having to go to a stylist." I hate to disappoint folks so I didn't burst their bubble by telling the truth. I didn't lie though. Just didn't speak.

So get a wig until you snap out of that moment of madness.

 

[Lucky's Mom]

yup. A wigg will help.

 

[bellecheveux]

I know how you feel. Rihanna's cut REALLY makes me want to chop off my hair. My head is big and wigs don't look natural on me.

 

[Irresistible]

I get them and dont act I just let em burn!

they pass and I'm always thankful I didnt act

 

[naturalgurl]

Buy a wig.

But really though, a simple yet ingenious answer!

 

[natural2008]

Girl I have to fight my hair cutting as well. So what I did was bought a wig with bangs and another like Rhiannas when I feel the need for short hair. Girl get you a wig don't cut it girl noooooooooooooo don't do i.

 

[DMJ's Mom]

Me!! Every couple of months I get the urge to just chop off my hair. Up until the last time In May I actually would follow through now i'm just fighting it to let it get to APL then I'll figure it out from there

 

[pearcey]

Yeahhh, me, I am getting really antsy about wanting to go natural again, even though I promised my SO I would really TRY to let my relaxed hair grow out...

So now I am thinking bangs or more color jazzing over my lightened hair...oh, anything to keep my long hair from being a tttttwa again I can't stop...

hmmm...prometheus comes to mind...

Exactly. My head is big plus thos wigs hurt my head. Majorly umcomfortable and look ridiculous on me. The only thing I would try to get away with is a fall. But that would involve straightening hair and it would even be the rhianna cut.

I think I just need to find something new to do with the hair I have on my hair.

Girl you are not the only one, I have a SERIOUS problem with these urges, and that's why i'm at a set back now, (but catching back up), I try to do new things with my hair, a cut or color, and think after I finish the new change, I'm either not happy, or just set myself back again, so now I'm like I'm just gonna be plain jane, and grow my hair, no cut or nothing, but relaxing or texlaxing, I mean change is good, but change to me is growing my hair to a length I never had before. I have had boy cut, natural, short, bob, etc, but never waist length hair......so I just gotta fight the storm and stay strong, I know I want long hair.....and I gotta stick to it........but I feel you!!

 

[LunadeMiel]

I know exactly you mean. I want a bob so badly....

I want Rihanna's cut sooooooooooooo badly....*sigh* But I also want waistlength hair too....

 

[Anew]

Oh I will chop in a minute, lol...

I just tell myself it'll grow back

 

[BlueEra]

I got the urge two months ago to do that style, and it never went away. I don't regret it though. I let go of all hair goals and realized that long hair just isn't for everybody, including me.

 

[Kurlee]

rihanna is so damn hot

That cut looks really good on you.

 

[tyboogie]

I have had the urge to cut my bsl hair to a bob since Aug. So this past Monday I had it cut. I love it!! I don't regret it a bit. I must post some pics.

 

[daaiyah]

What about some temporary color or new style. Maybe some new hairtoys.

I am with you ladies, I will be turning 35 on Monday, and I my style has gotten stale. I have had APL for the last couple of years, and I have had fairly long hair all my life, but now I want to shake things up and get something sexier.

I am going to get a cute layered bob next week. And few weeks later I am going to lighten the color.

 

[bluevalentine]

yep i get those urges alllll the time. right now i want my hair dyed this color and i'm THINK i'm going for it in about 3 weeks...wish me luck

Wow! I know your longer hair was probably beautiful, but you look FIERCE with that cut! Not mad at you at all!

 

[BlueEra]

That cut looks really good on you.

Thank you all. I definitely wanted to try something different, and the cut makes me look a lot older now. It's funny how drastically a hairstyle can seemingly change someone's persona. What I mean by that is, before I cut it, a lot of people would say I was cute as a button, and now all of a sudden I'm sexy.
