kelaaron- Find a new hairdresser, now this comes from the girl who has had the same one for 35 years and I just went to her for the last time cause she got married and is moving! Cut it short! Short is sexy!! My H always liked it when I had it short. I have had a "Halle Berry" short cut at different times for the last 5 or 6 years. Like her hair in Swordfish. Short little flip ups all over. I loved my hair that way, but when I gain weight it isn't as cute and I am ready to go longer again. I have always gotten compliments on my hair when I go somewhere, both when it was long and when it has been short. So I am growing it out again. I used to have hair that was half way down my back about 10 years ago, I love to hot roll it!
