Question

Moms: Did you cut your hair after your baby was born?

Answer 1

No but i did wear a ponytail all of the time.  if you do cut your hair  at least remember to do it either short enough to not HAVE to pull back, or still long enough thatyou CAN pull it back when you want it out of your face.

Answer 2

I did after my second was born and when I saw my husband I cried my eyes out  

Answer 3

I did just yesterday actually... my daughter is just over 2 months... it was time for a new mommy hair-do!

Answer 4

No way!  My hair is finally long again, there is no way I'm going to cut it!

I try to keep my hair either in a pony tail or in a braid to keep it away from my baby.

Answer 5

yes both times.

baby #1- i was in the bath during labor, got my hair wet, didnt dry it, emergency rushed to the hospital without hair dryer or brush... when i got home my hair was so knotted i HAD to cut it coz there was no way to brush it. it was very long back then.  

baby #2- my kid had lice when i was 39 weeks pregnant- i didn't wanna chance it, i cut my hair shoulder-length and did the treatment just in case.  

Answer 6

Yes I sure did. When my son was born my hair was about an inch past my shoulders. When he was 3 months old I cut it into a inverted bob and I absolutely love it! Super low maintenance and super cute!

Answer 7

Yes I did, both times. Felt the need to have a new look. First time I cut my hair neck length and colored my hair to a very bright auburn red. Second time around I cut my hair shoulder length and had highlights done. After a while I get tired of the new look and always go back to the usual look which is dark colored hair that goes a little above my waist.  

Answer 8

Yes.

And she watched, then cried afterwards and I felt SO guilty.  But she doesn't mind my hair this short now.  It was just so much easier, and I was sick of her spitting up on it.

Answer 9

Yes. I had horrible hair loss. I was hoping if I cut it it would not fall out as much. It still did but at least it wasn't really long hair everywhere. I had 9ins cut off. It's right at my shoulders now. I'm thinking of shaving it because my son uses it to pull himself up to stand now. LOL just joking but I really want to cut it shorter.

Answer 10

yes i did! i had long, thick, curly hair and it was too much to handle so i cut it all off into a short a-cut just past my chin.much easier to take care of!

Answer 11

No, only because ever since I had the baby I don't have time to do anything as much as I use to before. Anyway, I will go to the salon in a couple of weeks for sure! I need a new hair do. =)

Answer 12

NOPE! I kept it long ..

I have naturally curly hair and I still wear it long and dry and style it everyday! =]

.. I still wear my skirts and heels, too! ..

Answer 13

yes i did. I had to.my hair was to my rear and during the delivery, with all the sweat and the staying in bed for 3 days, I could not get a comb through it. So I had to cut it to be able to brush it.  

Answer 14

yes i cut 8 inches off a couple months after my daughter was born  

Answer 15

No but I never, ever wear it loose. It is always tied up and out of my face.  

Answer 16

I didn't but was tempted both times.

Answer 17

No, right before!  I dislike having my hair pulled while nursing.

Answer 18

Yes i did! I cut it from long to a little below my shoulders, then the next time went to a little above my shoulders, and just got it cut in a bob! I keep getting shorter and shorter.  but all i can say is remember you dont have a lot of time to fix it, and i just got my to where i have to fix it every day, ugh!

Answer 19

Yup I sure did, my son was a hair puller, and I had very long hair, I always had to wear it us so I figured I might as well just cut it off that way I can fix it!

Answer 20

Yes!

In fact I asked this very question a couple of months ago. I had very long curly hair and my son used to rip it out of my head in chunks. It also thinned out a lot from all the hormonal ups and downs after giving birth (and breastfeeding, stopping breastfeeding, relactating etc.) So a couple of months ago I chopped it all off in to a short bob. It takes me 5 minutes to blow it dry straight every morning and I could not be happier. I also feel a lot more polished then I did before.

If you are thinking about cutting yours off I would strongly recommend giving it a try!

Answer 21

Yup.  I went from my hair being about halfway down my back, to about an inch above my shoulders.  :)

Answer 22

nope...but for 11 months my 2 hairstyles havebeen a pony tail or a bun on top of my head (sometimes in a clip)..I just recently started wearing it down again.
