Do it, it is very freeing!
I was so, so tired of trying to keep it out of my face. When I bothered to "do my hair" for the day (which means getting it wet and putting the curling gel creme in and waiting for it to dry) it would look really nice. But out here in the desert and not working this past year I got so very lazy with it. Unless I was going to town to run errands or go to a doctor's appointment, I wouldn't do anything with it and would go several days without even combing it. I'd just walk around the house with tangled bedhead for days on end. Not a good look...
Now I can't stop running my hand through what's left of my hair because it is so soft and smooth! When it's this short it's wavy; the corkscrew curls always started further down and that is ALL GONE!

Funny how often people don't like what they have and want what they don't have. I have always had thin, straight, fine hair and have always wanted curls. I even used to braid my wet hair so that there was some semblance of waviness after it dried and was unbraided. LOL

And I desperately wanted the stick-straight fine hair that defined the 60s--all the Beatles' wives had the same hairdo and that's what I wanted, despite the fact that my hair was very thick and wavy.
SiouzQ, your new cut sounds adorable and much more manageable!

Me too! I wanted straight hair so bad that I would clamp plastic barrettes all along the length, put the pink tape across my forehead to hold my bangs down, then sit under the hood dryer!

My hair is very fine and very straight. It also grows very fast. I go every 4-5 weeks for a haircut. Turns out when I let it get a bit longer, the gray gets a bit wavy. It has a texture from the rest. I have salt and pepper hair. Natural color is dark brown.

This chemo was not supposed to affect me, but I am going bald due to it and now have very thin, sparce, white wild hair that looks like a short Don King. Thinking of shaving off.

Oh, Too Much Stuff, what a disappointment. Shaving it might work for now. My hair was perfect for the 60s, but as a child I always wanted curls...they would last an hour after sleeping on bobby pin curls all night. Now I'm ok with it...after 70 years.

Toomuch I am sorry you have to go through all that. I cut all mine off when I turned 50 a few years back. And then grew it out when I retired. Stick straight, thick, fine and rascally cowlicks. It's all in the skill of the stylist whether or not short will work again but I don't want it to look like a man's haircut.

I've let mine grow to about my collar and it's easier for me to handle--it's wavy and the length pulls out some of the curls and makes it easier to manage.
