If anything, I'd style it differently now in order to look modern, but I would not cut my waist-long hair for ANYTHING, kids or not!

I don't do anything with my hair anyway - I've always worn it up.

My very long hair is almost always in a ponytail, but on my rare chance to style it & go out, it's so worth keeping it long and flowing.

    It takes too much time to go through an elaborate grooming ritual when you have kids. The choice is to neglect your kids.

    I've always liked it at least shoulder length. I used to wonder about that as a kid - back then all the Moms had short hair.

      If you can't pull it back in a pony tail, cutting it to avoid those little fingers pulling it out is the way to go!

        Chopped it all off and stopped dyeing it. Tired of having baby yank it out by the roots.

            I had hair down to my waist...it kept getting shorter and shorter because I was tired of it getting pulled and in the way.

              It was either the locks or the baby so I chose my son.

                My mom's friend told me I had to cut my long hair because it could get wrapped around my son's u-kno-what. Didn't cut it, Never happened!!!

                  I did! Made it really short, but now that they are getting bigger. I'm on the way back to my prebaby hair!

                      Another misogynistic story about how women look. Yay. Now write one about 'Dad Hair'.

                      Girls, you do know your hair's physical composition is altered by pregnancy, don't you? Or maybe you believe its all a liberal conspiracy...

                        Have two young adults now, but when I was pregnant, I cut my hair short both times, I think it was hormonal because each time I hated it!!

                          I'm not married, but for years I could look at a woman and say "mommy hair" and be correct most of the time. It wasn't meant to be mean, I just knew that had something more important to do in the morning that spend half an hour or more on their hair. Hence..."mommy hair."
