SHOULD I DO IT–> Opinions Needed.

Coco Chanel said “a woman who cuts her hair is about to change her life.” I recently cut 7” off mine and I love it! It’s so much easier to take care of during triathlon training! Plus the bonus is it will
Always grow back! Go for it!

That haircut would look stunning on you!! Go for it girl, be wild!!!

Long bob looks great on everyone! and it will grow back pretty quick if you don’t like it ;)

I think that cut and color would look great in you! I love changing my hair up. Good luck!!

Do it!! I was like you and had the same longggg hair since I was a kid… then I cut it shoulder length about a year ago and have been maintaining it! I love it. At first I hated it but it grew on me!

I HATE walking around barefoot inside. I never do it. It’s my moccasin slippers (Manitoba mukluks) with orthotics or birks. I need to try oofos!!

Funny my husband cleaned my car too. I wouldn’t say it drives me crazy but it does feel so nice when it’s clean.

Yes, do it!!! That would be a great style on you and a change would be fun. Plus for summer it could be easier to take care of. And it will grow back if you don’t like it. I cut mine every 6 weeks. Color (foil for highlights) every 3 months.
Shoes/sandals are a must have when at home. I have a few foot issues so barefoot isn’t an option for long periods of time.
I can live with a messy car for a little while then gotta clean it. Smelly is a deal breaker, have to fix it immediately.
Nuts in dessert, yes, but will eat it either way. Love nuts!! Have a great day!!

Get the haircut! I think you’ll look amazing!

Love that hairstyle! You have a stylist for a sister so she can definitely show you how to maintain it. I do t know how to style my hair so I just keep it simple. Let it dry flat.

1000% do it!!!!!

Love my oofos- I bought them because of you and they were the only reason (plus epsom salt recovery baths) that I made it through my marathon training last year.

Do it! Last September I had my hair dye for the first time, very much like that photo and I love it. In fact, I am going back this Saturday to get a trim and maybe go a bit lighter. I do love my natural color through so I am sure I will eventually grow it completely out, but for now it is a nice change.

Also, oofos save me after long runs! I don’t know how I had gone so long without them.

Go for the cut! I am totally with you in having a grand plan prior to the appointment and once I arrive…”just a trim please”. But I have learned, it will grow back quick and that length is definitely long enough for pony. Plus, it will feel nice and light for the hotter months!

Love Oofos and Birkenstocks – they really help when I have PF flares. I really prefer being barefoot, but my feet don’t always agree.

That is exactly how I make seven layer bars – no nuts. I like nuts ok, but agree, not preferred in desserts.

Cut the hair! You’ll be like “why didn’t I do this sooner?” Plus, like other readers have said…it will grow back and then you can do it all over again. :)
My car has to be clean or I feel like my life is spiraling out of control. It’s something I can control, so I like to keep it clean!
Giant “NO” on nuts in desserts.

Absolutely do it! It will look and feel so good and healthy And I agree, as long as I can pull my hair back in a ponytail, all is right with the world. :)

Love that haircut!

DO IT!!!! It’s just hair lol

Cut it off for sure! The beauty of hair is that is grows back. I bet you’ll even realize how much easier it is to throw up before a run!

DO IT DO IT DO IT!!!

You know, before you decide for sure on the haircut you could try a couple products–like a texturizing spray or one of those saltwater sprays meant to mimic oceanwater and see how consistently you use the products to make the style work, and see if partially drying your hair and letting waves settle in and having that tousled look/loosely parted to the side look be a thing for you. That way you can sample the idea before putting in the investment! And worst case scenario, you’re just out a few bucks for a couple hair products from Ulta or Sephora (or an amazon order…). OR, the other thought, is that you wind up loving the idea but you want it to “look right” and you take some photos like the one you posted to your hair stylist and ask her to complete the idea for you with layers and color! When you do ask your stylist about the change in your look, you should also ask her what maintenance looks like and if it will mean more frequent visits to the salon than your current schedule (it could wind up being a dealbreaker for you, or it could mean more chances to leave the kiddos with a relative and have even a little bit more “me time” than your current salon visit schedule).

I’m thinking of getting a longer bob haircut next time I see my stylist (which is thankfully on Saturday–it’s been a bit too long!!!). My stylist knows that I only have a couple requirements: will it look good, will it grow out well, can I get away with maybe ONE product in my hair and blow drying about 50% most of the time, and can I throw my hair in a ponytail when it’s time to go to the gym? Once all those boxes are checked, she has free reign over my hair. She’s the expert, not me!!!

Your mother’s day sounds excellent. I want a seven layer bar, but if I make the whole recipe, I WILL EAT THEM ALL. (Now I fully understand the desire for many kids, big families in the same town, or being in larger communities of people who all get together regularly–to have a reason to bake all the yummy recipes WITHOUT eating all the finished product!!! lol…)

My car right now is messier than I would like. I don’t mind a few visible signs of clutter–maybe as tack of printed out choreography notes somewhere in the back seat for a few RPM and Sprint releases, my cloth bag with my teaching equipment, my yoga mat–but I have PILES of things right now. It’s a bit much. I need to clean out SOON, and I desperately need to take my car to the car wash soon. Since I am getting my hair cut on Saturday and that’s in the direction of my salon, that might be part of my plans for the day (unless that weekend’s weather forecast is heavy rain…)

I love that cut and color – I think it would look great on you. Give it a try – it will always grow back. I always get a chop and some highlights in spring, it makes everything feel new again!

Def cut the hair!!
I am somewhere in between for the car. But my mothers day gift to myself was a car detailing. He is in my driveway now cleaning and i am so excited!!
No nuts but sadly my most favorite carrot cake only comes with walnuts now so I suck it up and eat them.

DO IT!!! A great new hairstyle feels so good! And selfishly, I really want to see the before and after photos :)

Definitely do it – life is too short to not have fun with your hair. Personally I prefer a bit shorter hair on myself! Plus, that isn’t too crazy short so it’ll grow fast if you don’t like it. Super cute though!

Oofos are the best! My husband bought me some as a surprise and then he bought himself some too! haha.

Cut it!! That haircut would look amazing on you!! Plus it’ll always grow out of you decide you like longer hair. Every time I get my hair cut (twice a year because I’m bad about going regularly), I cut multiple inches off, and then let it grow out. It’s fun to switch it up!

Also, Brooke looks so tall in that soccer picture!

Yes, 100% go for it, love that style and color!!!

Do the hair cut and color!

Where did you get the tank top in the first picture?

I told my husband all I wanted for my birthday was a clean and detailed car and a clean house. Cleaners come Wednesday and he is detailing my car this weekend. Plus he we had GREAT sushi for my birthday and a chocolate cake. He is a keeper!

Love that hair cut! My hair is down right past my boobs like 90% of the time. Every 5 years or so I feel the need to chop it shoulder length. It’s always a good change for a bit, and like everyone else says, it does grow back.. :) The color is something I still haven’t done. I cut my hair about once a year as I don’t straighten/curl it much, and I can’t imagine going in every 6-8 weeks to maintain it.. more of a lazy problem on my side though!

And on the car, I can handle a little dust or dirt on my weathertech mats, but I can’t handle the stuff. It has to at least be picked up!

I loved seeing all the cute faces in this post. The pic of Skye, Beck, and your nephew watching a show together really made me smile, soooo adorable!!

My hair was that length for YEARS – I was too afraid to do anything differently. It was such a pain because the length was such that it required attention all the time. It was too long to be short and easy, but too short to hide any messiness. I had to wash and dry it just about every day because it was never long or heavy enough to naturally pull out ponytail holder marks after a workout and if I let it dry naturally after a wash, it just looked gross and unkempt. I’ve actually been trying to grow mine longer for the couple of years and have found maintenance to be SOOOO much easier now. I can go for 2-3 days between washing now and my ponytail will fall in front of my left shoulder as if it’s cute and intentional . Before, my ponytail was always behind and it looked like I never had any hair. All that being said, your hair is beautiful, as are you, and nothing is permanent. If you don’t like it, you can always grow it back out.
