taking the plunge today

TODAYS THE DAY....I am having my waist length hair chopped....it is becoming such a pain combing out etc etc.. it is a full scale operation to wash and dry..and it gets in the way sometimes...you know what I mean ? lol

[carmalee]

you'll wonder how you ever managed before - things are going to get a whole lot easier from now on - I speak from experience! -

[ummmm]

You're brave....

How short are you going?

[murraymints]

a longish bob I think...ala Kate Garraway..

[rowanwitch]

if they can take most of it with one cut ask for it to be kept to have made into a hairpiece if it is on a grip type clip you can have some 'long hair' looks as well

[scotman]

Make sure you keep the hair after cutting. You can sell it.

[murraymints]

good idea rowan..

[murraymints]

getting ready to meet my doom...or otherwise....will let you all know if i am happy or regretful.......

How much can you expect to make?

Bloomsbury Wigs will pay up to £100 for your hair. They’ll even cut it off on the spot for you. Before you picture some mad scientist coming at you with clippers – they just cut off your ponytail.

The main hair buyer in the UK, Banbury Postiche (Wigs UK) pays £3 per ounce if your hair is 6-12″ long and £5 per ounce if it is more than 12″ long

but hair must be in really good condition and unprocessed... to get the best prices also look on Gumtree as there are a number of wigmakers advertising for hair they would also give you a price for making a hairpiece

Oh and how did it go? Must be a big change! I had mine go from right down my back up to my shoulders! So much easier to manage though.
