Answer 5

Just tell her it's getting to long for you to take care of.  Plus, it's just not in style anymore & you want to have your hair look more stylish & in layers.  Show her that picture, show her the shape of the cut, & that you could even get it cut a little longer than the picture, but it just wouldn't have all the weight long hair has.  I'm a beautician, so I'm familiar w/what you're talking about.  You just have too much weight w/it all being the same length & it takes forever to dry.  Tell her you want a hair style that's more in fashion so you'll look more like the other girls & not outdated w/your looooooooooonnnnnggggg hair hanging down your back.  You could even tell her you'd love to be able to donate it to "locks of love" which the long cut hair goes for kids who loose their hair to chemotherapy & have cancer.  Which is exactly what you COULD do, & it would be so welcomed by a child who has no hair at all...That would be a GREAT idea for you to give another child.  Best to you, honey...:)
