Are there any mommas with uncut hair? There is a HUGE covering thread so that made me wonder if there were those here with uncut hair.

Hi! I have hair down to my butt.

Haven't cut it in 6+ years. I do occasionally trim off icky dead split ends.

In my church, uncut hair is a monastic thing. Monks and nuns never cut their hair once they have taken their vows. I know a few lay women who do it as well, but that is much less common.

I haven't cut my hair in about 10 years, but I'm getting ready to take a few inches off the bottom because of awful split ends from not trimming in the past 4 years. (it's actually getting shorter due to breakage)

I don't have particular religious reasons for keeping my hair long, but I can identify with people who do.

Do you mean uncut, as in no trimming, or uncut as in, trimming split ends, but keeping it long?

I have long hair that I'm only trimming for the ends right now, but not for religious purposes. I just feel it is pretty and more feminine.

uncut as in NEVER cut? or as in long... not cut short?

I keep mine long... but I trim it when the ends die. I feel it's a symbols of my femininity and religion.

Hello another uncut mama here! My hair is down to my waist--- uncut (completely--no triming) for about 4 years now. I believe my hair is my *crowning glory* as it says in the bible.

I do not cut my hair for mostly religious reasons or that of my dd. I did recently have to loose 6 inches due to it being so unhealthy and it broke my heart since I cant get it to grow, curly that breaks and falls out.

I have learned that not trimming the dead/split ends causes a lot of other issues including loosing those 6 inches that it took me 10+ years to grow.

I stopped cutting (taking length off - still trim split ends but honestly if you keep blow-drying and other heat styling to a minimum and protect your hair by covering in the extreme temperatures you should never have more than 1/4in of split ends to trim every 4-6 months) my hair about 3 years ago as part of my larger project to find my true self. (Which was pretty religious for me )
