Willie Nelson and Janet Jackson Chopped Off Their Hair – Why I Never Will
When I had my baby, I had numerous friends and family members ask if I was going to cut my hair. I had no idea what my follicle length had to do with parenting, but a few were concerned that my hair was too long for motherhood. I never gave in and got a ‘mom do’. My long tresses are part of who I am, my look, my style. I would never cut my hair because some one else thinks I should. And that was what I had in common with Willie Nelson. He once told Stuff:
“There have been a couple of times I’ve run into people who have requested that I cut my hair, but I’m not going to do it,” he said. “Not for a movie or anything. You know, I might decided I don’t like it one day and cut if all off, but I wouldn’t do it just because that’s what somebody wanted me to do.”
And that day came. The red headed stranger, who had been sporting super long hair for about three decades, finally broke down and cut off his signature braids. His spokeswoman said that with long hair “there’s a lot of maintenance,” and it looks like he just got tired of dealing with it.
And he not the only one who’s making news with a new haircut. Janet Jackson cut off her long luscious locks and is going for a much sassier shorter do. With oodles of sites requesting that readers weigh in on what they think of her new look.
These two performers boldly chopped off their hair. Making a statement and a transformation. But that’s something you have to be ready for. Me, I’m a creature of habit and not fond of change so my long locks are staying for while. I’ll never say never, but for now I’ll be keeping them.
Have you ever done a drastic hair change?
She didn’t cut of her locks she took out her weave
Janet had hair extensions and weaves….I’m a hair stylist and we know these things
I have been growing my hair for seven years. It is now almost down to my butt. My friend asked me the other day what I was going to “do with that hippy hair”. I looked in the mirror and realized that it DOES look like hippy hair! So I am contemplating a change….minor? Major? I like it long, but….I need something else.
LOL she did have her hair cut off. Yes she too did take out her weave but she dis have hair of her own as well. She probably got it cut that short cause it was damaged from wearing all the weaves. Either way she is still a beautiful woman!!
I agree with Willie — I won’t do anything just because sombody told me to. It’s got to be out of my own free will

f.c.l.m
i am such a loyal willie fan.. going to see him again in concert..just not the same willie without the long braids..hope it grows out before august..oh willie…why? lol
When i was twelve, my mom chopped off my waist length, curly blonde hair and gave me a “mom do”… Plus i got glasses. ouch…
My daughter is twelve now and has hair down to her waist and i will never chop it off
i mean – it’s hers, but she will have to be REALLY REALLY certain she wants to cut it, and even then, she may have to arm wrestle her dad first 
… I’ve cut my hair a lot when i’m pg – i think it’s just an “i don’t know what to do with it!” thing – but i’m trying to go with layers now, and avoid the chop 
– it’s working so far!
I hate it when women cut their long, flowing locks, but I don’t care about guys. Altho Willie looks silly now. lol
