Short hair does NOT necessarily mean low-maintenance, I found the total opposite to be true. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-post-wedding-chop-what-about-a-post-baby-chop#post-630788 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 12:37:21 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 630788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I donated my hair after my wedding, but now I keep it long for the ponytail factor with baby...now trying to grow it out so it can all be pulled back (including the layer in front), because I have a hair-puller...gah </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-post-wedding-chop-what-about-a-post-baby-chop#post-630777 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 12:33:56 +0000 pui 630777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was going to cut my hair after we got married, but my DH loves it long. It's now to my hips!! I think I will probably have to at least cut some of the length after we have kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-post-wedding-chop-what-about-a-post-baby-chop#post-630751 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 12:27:25 +0000 lisa1783 630751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i did a pre-baby chop also but my hair grows like crazy and immediately after baby was born, i had it up in a permanent messy ponytail. I just had another haircut (9 months post baby) that i should have gotten months ago and it feels so good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-post-wedding-chop-what-about-a-post-baby-chop#post-630729 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 12:21:30 +0000 Mrsbells 630729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did a post baby chop. I did consider doing one right after our wedding mainly because i wanted a new look, but never got around to it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-post-wedding-chop-what-about-a-post-baby-chop#post-630699 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 12:12:57 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 630699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't do a post wedding chop - I have long hair and I like to keep it long. I don't have a baby so I have not done a post baby chop LOL But I think I'll most likely keep it long, I can not stand short hair on me! I'd much rather be able to stick it in a pony tail if I need it out of my way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-post-wedding-chop-what-about-a-post-baby-chop#post-630679 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 12:09:29 +0000 tysonja 630679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>only a post baby chop -- not really by choice though -- that 3 month pp hair loss was insane for me! my long hair was all scraggly and gross :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-post-wedding-chop-what-about-a-post-baby-chop#post-630677 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 12:09:02 +0000 lovehoneybee 630677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My hair wasn't very long when we got married (long enough to put up, but just) and DH really wanted me to grow it out, so I didn't do a post-wedding chop. I did chop about 6" off when DS was about 4 months old when I was at the height of my pp hair loss. It's still below my shoulders is more manageable/less likely to get yanked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-post-wedding-chop-what-about-a-post-baby-chop#post-630676 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 12:08:56 +0000 mamabolt 630676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did a PWC, I had grown my hair out to be able to have an updo and was so tired of so much hair! I haven't done an PBC yet, although with summer coming I'll probably go shorter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-post-wedding-chop-what-about-a-post-baby-chop#post-630663 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 12:06:11 +0000 Bao 630663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did both!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-post-wedding-chop-what-about-a-post-baby-chop#post-630644 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 12:01:58 +0000 Bookish 630644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No post-wedding chop, but I did a PRE-baby chop! My hair was getting very unhealthy from too much dyeing, etc, so I chopped it all off! I miss it so much!!!! lol! I'm hoping it'll be ponytail length by July...but that's doubtful :p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-post-wedding-chop-what-about-a-post-baby-chop#post-630639 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 12:00:38 +0000 mrsjyw 630639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep, both!</p> <p>chopped off 13+inches post wedding<br /> and 7+ inches post baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-post-wedding-chop-what-about-a-post-baby-chop#post-628791 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 16:50:01 +0000 sera_87 628791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did a post wedding chop - and went from middle-of-back blonde to dark red chin bob with full-on bangs. DH had to do a double take when he saw me after. </p> <p>Post baby (about 3 months later) I did another chop, but that was to get rid of dead ends and because it was all effed up pp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-post-wedding-chop-what-about-a-post-baby-chop#post-628770 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 16:40:39 +0000 Foodnerd81 628770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cut a few inches off after the wedding, but not that mutch-- my hair is fine and has a couple of weird cowlick areas, so there is a limit range of lengths/styles that work. I see it staying about the same after baby-- long enough to go in a ponytail, short enough that blow drying is really fast when I choose to (so, shoulder length). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-post-wedding-chop-what-about-a-post-baby-chop#post-628756 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 16:33:20 +0000 aprk 628756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm thinking about a pre-baby chop, but wondering if its best for me to wait until after delivery and my craziness has subsided to make any drastic changes ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-post-wedding-chop-what-about-a-post-baby-chop#post-628751 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 16:31:18 +0000 Sweet T 628751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did a post-baby chop. My hair was over half way down my back and I cut it above my shoulders. I wish I wouldn't have cut it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-post-wedding-chop-what-about-a-post-baby-chop#post-628749 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 16:30:36 +0000 MrsH 628749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, to the post wedding chop. no babies yet:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-post-wedding-chop-what-about-a-post-baby-chop#post-628744 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 16:25:23 +0000 anbanan15 628744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did a post wedding chop because I had super long hair and DH always complained about it getting in the way or falling out so much. I just shortened it a lot and donated it, but it was still shoulder length and never thought of it as a post wedding chop really, but maybe a pre-baby chop?</p> <p>A few months after DS was born I lost so much hair and between the pregnancy hormones, my messed up thyroid and starting synthroid, my hair loss was out of control with balding spots, so I was forced to cut it very short (think Victoria Beckham's angled cut) to hide my hair loss. It's now shoulder length again, but I prefer it a little longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-post-wedding-chop-what-about-a-post-baby-chop#post-628737 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 16:17:47 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 628737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't do a post-wedding chop, but I did a pre-baby chop. At 38 weeks pregnant I went to my stylist and asked for a really short layered cut... my reasoning was I probably won't be able to get my hair cut for awhile post-baby so if I cut it all at once, I won't need to go back for awhile! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-post-wedding-chop-what-about-a-post-baby-chop#post-628736 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 16:16:33 +0000 Running Elley 628736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did a post wedding chop because I'd spent over a year growing it out for the wedding and I was sick of it! I loved my short a-line PW chop! Ive been contemplating a post- baby chop since he was born but haven't had the guts to go through with it yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-post-wedding-chop-what-about-a-post-baby-chop#post-628732 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 16:14:10 +0000 Cherrybee 628732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a bit of an identity crisis after my wedding and not only had my hair restyled (I didn't go short, I just had my fringe put back in and some layers) - I also coloured it bright red! And I hated it!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-post-wedding-chop-what-about-a-post-baby-chop#post-628672 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 15:17:37 +0000 marionberry 628672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did a post wedding chop the day after our wedding. I was so ready to not deal with hair, especially for our honeymoon in Mexico. Now that I'm pregnant I'm growing my hair back out but I could definitely see myself chopping again right after the baby comes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-post-wedding-chop-what-about-a-post-baby-chop#post-628436 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 12:35:31 +0000 mrsmate 628436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did a chop when DD was 18mo bc it was summer and so HOT. I liked it but I'm growing it out again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-post-wedding-chop-what-about-a-post-baby-chop#post-628435 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 12:35:30 +0000 illumina 628435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did a post wedding chop, about a month afterwards. I'd been growing it for a year or so as I wanted it long and wavy for the day. Then I got sick of it and wanted a change. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-post-wedding-chop-what-about-a-post-baby-chop#post-628434 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 12:34:38 +0000 loveisstrange 628434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Post wedding chop, yes. Post baby, no. I am letting it grow out from the PWC! I just got it styled and dyed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-post-wedding-chop-what-about-a-post-baby-chop#post-628433 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 12:34:12 +0000 Dandelion 628433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Neither. I like my hair long.</p> <p>My bff did after her wedding, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-post-wedding-chop-what-about-a-post-baby-chop#post-628430 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 12:33:21 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 628430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't do a post wedding chop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-post-wedding-chop-what-about-a-post-baby-chop#post-628429 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 12:32:59 +0000 MamaMoose 628429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did both! After my wedding I donated my hair to locks of love for the third time. I had planned to donate again after baby but in order to meet the ten inch requirement my hair would have been too short to put in a pony tail which wouldn't really work with a baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-post-wedding-chop-what-about-a-post-baby-chop#post-628428 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 12:32:47 +0000 mrsjazz 628428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Post baby chop, yes. I went super short and I kind of miss my hair now. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-post-wedding-chop-what-about-a-post-baby-chop#post-628424 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 12:30:25 +0000 rachiecakes 628424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did a chop while I was pregnant but not after DS was born.<br /> I feel like I always have to blow dry my hair when it's short. When it's long I can just do a pony tail and keep all my hair off my face and neck. Longer hair is definitely easier for me. </p>
