The Newlywed chop . . .
I am so tempted to cut all of my hair off the day before we leave for our honeymoon . . . I have 2 months to decide, but I would love to do one of these cuts . . .
my hair is down to about the middle of my back . . . I don't know if I can do it, but if I could get the nerve, I would LOVE to . . .

Re: The Newlywed chop . . .
I am not a newlywed but I did go from long to butchy short hair in a relatively short period of time not too long ago. I suggest, however not to go from one extreme to another. Do it in stages. In other words, go shorter but a little bit at a time.

I cut my hair after our wedding. I cut like 12 inches off. I am so glad I did it!

Mine isn't that long - but it's still too long for me. Farewell hair!

This has always been one of my wedidng realted plans. I've been growing out my hair, and I am going to chop most of it off and donate it. My hair has always been so important to me, I've always ahd long hair, and I just want to give it as a gift. I am trying to decide if I should cut it off now, and let it gorw back for the wedding, or cut it off right after the wedding. I'm considering just doing it now, cutting of a foot and letting it grow back for the wedding. It's something I've always wanted to do, and I don't know why 've assoicated it with the wedding, but I feel like it's something I want to do at this point now.

Bri- I just did it, chopped it all off post wedding - I was growing it for the updo and it was about halfway down my back too. they will take dyed hair as long as it is not damaged - the website says if you are in doubt, to ask your hairdresser. I had doubts b/c I am beginning to get too many greys, but the site also says that they will take ponytails that have greys - they just take them out and sell them to wigmakers for older people. Think about it
ETA: I like the Kelly haircut.
