Regret Shaving Off Tailbone Length Hair Now That I'm Getting Married

I shaved my tailbone length hair off at the start of the year. It was a foolish and emotional decision. My hair is thick and tangles very badly. I should never have done that, and now I really regret what I've done. I'm getting married, and my hair is extremely short. I am quite attractive with long hair, but it's different without the hair.

I think I want someone to tell me to get over it and just manage with what little I have.

(P.s I find myself staring at my baby nieces and saying "she's got more hair then me, a baby!)

It wasn't an issue until marriage came on the table. Now I'm really upset I cut all that good hair off, for no good reason other than an emotional impulse
 
One thing you can't do is change the past. One thing that you can do is buy hair that resembles your old hair or better learn to love your newly shorter hair. I guess its this whole thing of our hair making us beautiful is hard to overcome when we've been taught it our whole lives. Its difficult to let our hair not define us. How does your SO other feel?

:bighug: You are still attractive, hair or no hair. Your FH obviously loves you hair or no hair and finds you attractive.

Since you can't go back, maybe find a way to rock your short style in an attractive way. If that isn't working then you have plenty other options for the special day. You just have to decide on which one you want. Just make the decision and let it go. You have more important things to focus on.

You will still be beautiful on your wedding day. When's the date?

What does hair length have to do w/marriage?

Maybe she always pictured herself looking a certain way in her wedding dress and considering she had tailbone length hair I assume she didn't see herself in a TWA

OP just buy some hair if you want long hair on that day. You want to enjoy yourself and feel confident because all eyes will be on you. If having long hair is what you need then get some
 
It will grow back. Just stick to your regimen and you will see growth soon. For now, opt for extensions or a good weave. Just be careful and do your research. Don't let anyone with a struggle weave that looks like a drowned raccoon touch your head. They know nothing about hair health. Also stay away from the ones with good weaves but struggle hair underneath.
 
I don't have much advice. It is what it is. I will offer you a hug though. I cut my hair from tailbone to a short bob 3 yrs ago without putting enough thought into it and hated myself for it. It'll grow back mama. For now I'd say start looking into some fierce short styles for your wedding and try to just embrace it. Work around it. It'll look great!

Eta: I've grown it back out and its around bs-Mb length and now I'm thinking of cutting it even shorter this time. Lol.
 
Awww........that impulsive nature is all too familiar with me and cutting. E-hugs for you honey, I hope that you will find a workable solution. Depending on you wedding date. If you aren't into weaves/wigs for your special day, Mega Tek could speed up your growth and add volume to your hair.
That's all I got.
 
Damn girl, tailbone??? Jesus! Dont sweat it now though. Like others already said, it WILL grow back. In the meantime there are wigs and weaves to consider for your wedding if you want the length.
 
I swear. Too many damn keyboard psychologist on this board. Why some of y'all want to speculate about her upcoming wedding? Why is that even a part of y'alls response? The majority of black women wear weave down their back for their weddings, why is it an issue for her?

Well, you know, men seem to prefer women with long hair and here this lady cut hers all off and still got a man and getting married. She must be some kind of woman! lol

:yep: @Spongebob, Did y'all get engaged before or after you cut it? Cuz he might like the short hair.

I just cut off a lot of hair, apl-ish to a tapered cut, and my man seems to love it. He says it's because he can really see my face good now. :lol:

are you implying something negative here or does it just sound that way?

:lol:

I took it to mean that her fh still wants to marry her with shaved hair, so it's not a big deal to him. It didn't sound negative to me at all, since the op sounds like the impending marriage/wedding is what is making her regret cutting.

I wanna see some pics, though.

I cut from near wl in the back last year. I figured if I grew it out once I can grow it out again. So will you.
 
@faithVA check this thread out. She said she shaved off her tailbone length hair at the beginning of this year. ETA: I see you already posted here, but anyhoo. OP's other thread is from Aug 2013 and she said she was shorter than APL. So APL to TL in 1.5 years is a huge feat. We need details.

I don't understand this post. Who speculated about her wedding? I only see people giving her ideas on how to wear her hair on her wedding day since she mentioned it. Maybe I missed something.
