Hair gorw or cut short - Wedding Forum

Hi

I can't decide what to do with my hair, I have always had it short and it suits my little face but I started growing it longer it is now just on my collar and it looks nice, everyone keeps saying 'oh you're hair looks nice are you growing it longer for the wedding?'

Anyway I'm not that keen on it I would like it shorter and funkier and I would feel more comfortable with it that way.

Shall I go for it or am I going to regret it on the day..what if the cut goes wrong...can anyone recommend a good hairdressers to go to if I decide to have it cut???

Oh I don't know what to do not very good at making decsions at the mo!!!

HELP!

I think you need to go for the hairstyle you will be the most comfortable with Andi. If short and funky suits you, then go with it. You will only be plagued with doubts if you grow it long and aren't sure.

I too am trying to grow hair "for the wedding" and because I am going back packing after the wedding- I have been growing it for 8 months and it looks well crap at the moment !
how long until your wedding ? i think drastic hair decisions are best made far away from the wedding as opposed to near ... incase you hate it. Before I started to grow the "crap not a hair style"! , I always used to go to toni and guy and always loved what they did
hope you decide what is best for you

I agree - if you are short and funky by nature then keep it that way!

I have some fab pics of short bridal hairstyles here, if you remind me I'll scan them and email them to you.

Thanks guys

I think I'll go and have it cut I've got until September if I change my mind.

That would be brilliant if you've got pictures.

Cheers
Andi

I really like short hair, but it doesn't suit me! I would say go with the hair cut is that is what is most comfy.

I remember seeing some pictures of Zoe Ball when she got married and she had her hair short with flowers in it. It looked really funky, but also very feminine.

Go with the length you feel comfortable with. I have been growing mine for two years so it can be long for the wedding. It depends what you mean by long but for me it would take four to five years to go from short to down my back. It also depend on whether you want it up or down. If you want it up shortish hair can have hair pieces added to amke it look long without having hair extensions. And I though that Zoe Ball had long hair extensions especially for her wedding, it's just that her hair was put up.

May be I got it wrong, but it certainly looked short in the picture I saw. I will see if I can dig it out....

Get it cut!!! I've battled on with mine for months and have got it as far as that delightful "Halfway down your neck and straggling everywhere" phase....

I'd battle on if I thought it was worth it but it doesn't even suit me. Not one little bit. So I'm for the chop at weekend unless my heairdresser persuades me otherwise...... YIPPEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

Well Andi i had the same idea as you grow my short hair long foir the weding the longer it got the more unhappy i became so on sat i got it cut off and i feel much better now so if short and funky is you then why change.
