Hi, im new here..blah blah blah...anyways here is my story: I had long hair that reached my lips, I was very very happy for my hair growth. till one day, my mom said "thats it you are getting a haircut" after a hundred times of trying to NOT get a haircut...I finnaly did get a hair cut and it SUCKS!!! I HATE IT! I HAVE NEVER..EVER BEEN THIS ANGRY OVER ANYTHING BEFORE!!! I was so angry about the cut and the results I thrusted my fists onto my forehead like a thousand times (what can I do?) My hair looks like Jack Tripper from that show on Nick @ Nite Threes company! or it looks like Fezz from That 70's Show! I cherished my hair so much - so please...can someone tell me how long will my hair will grow back to its "original form" again? my bangs are currently on my eyelids, and I want to know when my bangs will grow to my upper lip. oh yeah,THE PICTURE DOWN BELOW IS WHAT I WANT MY HAIR TO LOOK LIKE (its not me)

Impossible to tell with a Mother like that against longer hair and you allowing her to force you into getting it cut.

Hey, my mom would have kicked my ass if I didnt get it cut...anyways, she said it wasnt good for "church". F*CK that! I hate church! I dont believe in organized religion - I have my own views about God or Satan or whatever.

Do yourself (and your parents) a favor, and show them this.
It's a sermon written to remind Christians that Jesus doesn't care who you are or what you look like; you're welcome in his Home (Church), regardless.

Both of my parents were like that when I was growing-up and "long-hair" was everywhere. "NORMAL" back then would have been Bangs below the eyes..........and considered consertive at that! But for some reason both parents got on my tail because mine had gotten much longer and DEMANDED that I get a haircut or I couldn't drive the car. I was an honor student and never a problem Son. So, I just acted in a polite mannor and found my Mothers Mothers picture of Jesus plus faded photos of my Dad as a kid with hair over his shoulders. I brought these pictures to my parents and spoke not a word. There was complete silence, and I never heard a word about when to get a haircut ever again.

first i am a Christian but yes i agree that a lot of stuff in organized "church" in bull, i'm not saying there arent true believers but the majority of people at those things just do it for show anyway and like to controll people with there own OPINIONS by acting like there spoken by God, and people like that usually like to take the Bible and misquote it to make it say what they want, they can say what they want but theres NOTHING in there against a person having long hair, infact theres more cases where it promotes long hair even, and infact Jesus himself probabaly has long hair,as well as the majority of the other people in the bible, it's just so many people are ignorant and stuck in there own ideas. Don't let them get you down. that's why i very rarley ever go to church, just tired of the nonsense some people do and say
remember Church is just a meeting place, nothing more, you don't have to go to church to believe in/follow God, just do what you feel is right in your heart

That made more sense than anything I've heard in a long time.

I sympathize. However, I'm not Christian, so I don't know what the Bible says about that stuff, but I think Cactus Jack is right. The fact that your mom made you cut your hair is her own personal feeling, and unfair at that. A person's body is his own, and no one can tell him what to do with it. I hope you are happy with your hair soon, and although this is a tough blow, it WILL grow back. Chin up!

Yeah, my fundi brother and his wife were telling me the other day about how the bible tells about what things are acceptable and not, including hair length for men and women. Had to insist that they can hold those views but it's also just their OPINION (they didn't want to hear that).
Didn't get a chance to ask them why their fairy-tale god made hair that would grow longer than the divinely established length unless "it" were trying to get you to sin so "it" could send you to burn in hell for eternity.
It's painful to see people not thinking for themselves.

Ooh aren't fundies great? Just about anything pisses them off. I'd like to know exactly where in the Bible it says what's acceptable for hair length. I don't read the thing myself and I'm not about to start.

I can't say exactly, but it was St. Paul who said it. He was a Roman, and Roman guys started the whole short hair thing. Tell them he was just reflecting the prejudices of the soceity he belonged to. That's how I see it, but then I'm an atheist!

You're looking at probably around 6 months. However, the question you should be asking is how can I prevent my mom from forcing me to cut it once it grows back?
