Deeeep breaths, schmooey, hon. Relax. It's going to be alright. 

Everyone gets frustrated with their hair from time to time. That's just part of growing it out. I don't know anyone - on these boards, for that matter - who hasn't gone through a period of "ugh! It looks horrible! I just want to chop it all off!!"

People have different ways to get through this. Some experiment with a new style, some with a new colour, some get a small trim...and some people just try to ignore their hair for awhile and hope that the "ugly" phase blows over. It usually does.

Think about what's bothering you most about your hair right now. Most problems can be solved with a trim, a deep conditioning treatment, oiling, aloe vera gel, or a combination of any or all of the above. Also, a pep talk from a long hair enthusiast (such as the lords and ladies on these boards) can help boost your morale.

If nothing else, just remind yourself that it's a phase. "This, too, shall pass." I'm sure that your hair is lovely and that there are many folks out there who would kill to have what you have.

Also, try not to let the guys' comments get you down. My father rags on me all the time to cut, colour and sculpt my fine hair into a Sharon Osbourne shag...but do you think I've ever done it? 

Just be yourself and be strong, my long-haired sister. And definitely do a deep conditioning treatment.

We all go thru periods of being frustrated with our hair.  You are not alone.  Angel Spun has made some excellent suggestions to try before considering a major cut.

However, if you really feel you need to cut I usually suggest waiting at least 2 weeks before having a significant cut.  Then wait 2 more weeks.  If you still want to cut it after the 4 weeks, go ahead, but try to cut only an inch or two.  Trimming it up in small amounts can help you decide what is the best length for you without going too drastic.

Hang in there!  We are all rooting for you.

Haha, i guess im mostly frustrated because i havent felt this way with my hair before! Ive been growing it for... i dunno probably about 8 years... (3 intentionally ) and never questioned it!

I think also the heat isnt helping- when i try to wear my hair down its just so darn hot and sweaty and frizzy  Hopefully summer will end soon. 

I dont think ill probably consider colouring my hair, just because its a really unique (I think, at least!) colour already- But i definitly will try to do a bit of pampering this weekend since i dont have to work on saturday! (Yippee!)   

Thanks everyone for such fast support and advice! I guess i didnt realize everyone fights with their hair at least sometimes
