It was long and I couldn't keep it untangled. And it was (is) falling out in clumps and LO kept yanking it/pulling it out. He still does it with the shorter hair, but it's harder for him to reach now, and it's still long enough that I can pull it back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prepost-baby-chop#post-440368 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 20:49:40 +0000 Bao 440368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dapple Grey: To the middle of my neck! The year before at my wedding it had been to the middle of my back, so it was quite short...I'm actually thinking of growing it back out though lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prepost-baby-chop#post-440360 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 20:46:37 +0000 Bookish 440360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I'm 10 weeks and I chopped my hair really short a couple weeks ago. It's mid-December and I still have my A/C going, plus I had a lot of damage from hair dyeing too much :p I figure I'll let it grow to ponytail length, and hopefully it gets that long before baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prepost-baby-chop#post-440358 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 20:46:25 +0000 BeachMama 440358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep I chopped it. It was all falling out anyway and I was tired of the pulling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prepost-baby-chop#post-440317 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 20:21:57 +0000 Dapple Grey 440317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FriedBabyMama: aww oh no! My friend has a little girl toddler age range , and she (still) pulls her mamas hair, its almost like a soothing type deal.<br /> Bobby pins will be my friend!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prepost-baby-chop#post-440313 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 20:14:20 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 440313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dapple Grey: The hair pulling is brutal...I never thought about it, and my hair is layered, so the shortest layers are just a tiny bit too short for a ponytail, and they just get yanked all day long. But you could totally make it work with bobby pins or something if you wanted to make a more drastic and easier to manage change. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prepost-baby-chop#post-440312 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 20:13:59 +0000 Dapple Grey 440312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: nice! How short?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prepost-baby-chop#post-440307 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 20:07:52 +0000 Bao 440307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup I chopped my hair after DD was born! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prepost-baby-chop#post-440305 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 20:07:18 +0000 Dapple Grey 440305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FriedBabyMama: thank you for the tip! I def have to have the option of a pony, but hate blow drying and dealing with long crazy hair. I didn't event think about hair pulling ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prepost-baby-chop#post-440302 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 20:05:27 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 440302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Keep it long enough for a ponytail, unless you're going really short...it's by far the easiest to deal with, especially when baby discovers hair pulling :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prepost-baby-chop#post-440299 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 20:05:01 +0000 Dapple Grey 440299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: wow! I bet it's beautiful and a lot of work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prepost-baby-chop#post-440297 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 20:03:21 +0000 matador84 440297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm think about post baby chop. I have hair almost to my waist and its just too long! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prepost-baby-chop#post-440288 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 19:58:47 +0000 Dapple Grey 440288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know it's typical to do a post wedding chop ( aka cut your hair) but I was curious if during your pregnancy or after baby was born you wanted to change your hair to something easier to manage, etc? </p>
