For the majority of my life, my hair was long. About three years ago, I went to have layers put into it and the lady used my bangs as top layer.
Errr!!! I wasn't pleased because she ended up having to cut my hair shoulder length. I always received compliments on my long hair. The reaction to my haircut wasn't exactly negative, but they weren't exactly compliments either. I received a lot of,"OH NO! You cut your pretty hair!"
Thankfully it has grown out. Although it isn't as long as it used to be. Right now I am keeping it to the middle of my back.
My daughter has hair that I would love to make a wig out of. It is thick, long, naturally, and evenly wavy. Her hair came out a medium brown, with blond highlights. SO PRETTY!!! ...and of course, the kid can't stand her hair even though people always tell her how pretty it is and want to know where she gets her highlights done. :?
