Is it normal to want to cut off all my hair?

I've had long hair all my life. I never had it cut more than an inch or two, so it's beyond half my height by now. (I'm 19). But lately, I've been having the urge to cut it all off. Is it normal to want this kind of sudden change? I like having long hair and I get a lot of compliments about it, but for some reason I just wish I had short hair like a boy. Should I do it?

  • Do it! You only live once right? You should cut it like Kiera Knightly in that movie Domino. Check it out.

    Go for it. Donate it. I always cut or shaved my hair growing up even though I always loved long hair. But I've been growing it for almost 10 years now and don't ever want to cut it again. I had a frfiend years ago who had beautiful long hair and she wanted a change. I went with her to get it cut (really short) and she looked amazing.

    I think it's a great idea! Every time I have my hair cut (it grows so fast) it feels literally like a weight coming off my shoulders. I now have it as a layered bob and it feels so light and bouncy. Maintenance is a breeze as well. If you've had it long all your life, it seems like a good time to cut it now, almost to mark your passage into adulthood.

  • Cut it off, for the experience and then you'll know if you like having short hair more. If you change your mind: it takes about three years to grow back.

  • Its funny that you would say that because I just got my haircut. Its completely normal, I was tired of my hair and wanted to try something new. Thats probably how you feel. Now I'm too scared to have it all of it gone but if thats what you wanna do then do it. I say do it.

    Eek no. Girls look better with long hair.
