QuestionI have really long hair and want to cut it as a bob for something different, but what if I end up not liking it?
Community AnswerGo for it. Take a few days to decide if it's really what you want- you can ask for the opinion of someone close to you, but in the end, it's your hair. Go to a stylist with a good reputation and bring a photo of the style you want. He/she will make sure the cut is flattering. If you don't like it immediately, don't panic! It's a big change. Give it a few days and play with how you style it. No guts, no glory! -
QuestionI don't know if I should chop my hair off. I want to because my hair is down to my butt and it is heavy, but what if I cut it and don't like it? I would be stuck with it. What should I do?
Community AnswerDon't cut it just because it is heavy, just get it thinned. Or only cut it to your elbows and see if you like it. If so, cut it little by little until it gets short enough where you still like it but don't want to cut it any shorter.

QuestionI really want a pixie haircut, but I don't know if I'll like it. Help?
Community AnswerThe pixie cut is very quirky and popular, and lots of celebrities have it. It’s always a good idea to try new things. If you don't like it, it will grow back. Do it gradually. Cut off all of your long hair up to your jaw to get a bob. From there you can transition to a pixie cut. It will frame your face better, giving you an elegant look.

QuestionI have naturally curly hair that can be dry and frizzy. It's long, and I want to cut it into a long shag style. Would that be a good style for my hair type?
Josh1997Community AnswerIt might not work if your hair is frizzy. One of the best options in my opinion would be to layer it so it will appear thicker with more volume. As a style, judging by the way your hair is, you should take it a lot shorter to around shoulder length. -
QuestionAny ideas specifically for cutting waist length hair to the shoulders?

QuestionI have shoulder length hair. I want it a little bit shorter and layered. How can I do this myself?
Josh1997Community AnswerIf you want to go shorter than your current length, you could do layers by cutting the hair in sections and inches using your fingers as a guide. However, people with your current hairstyle can find it difficult to put layers in, so a possible option might be to go for a bob cut instead, as you can put in a slight layer and shape the hair to go shorter for a classy look.

QuestionI usually part my hair on the side, should I still part my hair in the middle as these tutorials suggest? Will that make my hair uneven when I wear it on the side?
