Ohmigod! You have to be kiddding. The before photos look like castings for the Jerry Springer show! For perhaps the first time ever I completely disagree with you.

Super long hair is scary–like jewelry on men or mimes.

I got mine chopped up to my shoulders a few months ago (it had been most of the way down my back). It had been growing out since 2000, and it just got too hard to take care of. And I was sick of it wrapping around my neck and strangling me in middle of the night. That being said, I miss it, and am growing it back out.

I say, if it aint broke don’t fix it. They both looked great before. Afterwards, the first looks wax-stic (stepford wife, madame tussaud’s, and morticia adams) and the second … well I just can’t get over the “argh- me hearties” expression on her face.
anyways. hahaha this make over talk reminded me of the massive furor over that sartorialist post where he announced he was going to make over this young pretty woman. That was a month or two ago…and I don’t think we heard back about that ever since.

interesting that people have different preferences here. i do too. i don’t love the “after” pic of #1, but i really don’t like the “before” pic either. for #2, i love her “before” hair. what a shame about her chopping it off – she didn’t have to keep what she had, but she could have made more of that really fantastic hair (my dream hair).
i’ve had hair at every possible length…okay, not to my ankles. but i’ve had it shaved, i’ve had it long, etc. most important thing to know about hair – it grows back. i’d be bored/sad to think there was only one style that was right for me. love changing it.

I thank God for hair, actually, as I have the embarrassing inability to tell faces apart without it as a cue. Especially, it pains me to admit, with Asian people and those of recent sub-Saharan African descent. [I am caucasian] And I’m only marginally better with men from my own ethnic group.

That said, I’m generally in your Amen corner when it comes to the longish hair. Especially if its the color the good lord gave you, with no highlights or anything. For women. It only works for about half of the men on the planet.

Imelda: If I can figure out how, I’ll do it!

Enc, Lora and Lindsey, let us follow Sloth’s advice.

Susie B: we would all cry bitter tears if you cut your hair!

Lady #1 definitely looks better before. But she didn’t get a good cut-she got some awful styled big-hair thang. Lady #2 however looks adorable with the shorter hair. Scary Medussa in first pic. Adorable flapper girl in second pic. Hair is not just “long is better” (while it often is). The shape of the face, type of hair, and height of the subject should all be taken into consideration. That being said: Sister Wolf, you are a long tall drink of water with beautiful hair. Your look is perfection. (okay ,maybe your lipstick could be a scotch lighter.)
