so I just turned 18 and I haven't had a haircut since I was 16. my hair is currently 26 inches long and it comes about to the middle of my ribs and it is a little damaged like I have split ends the back is a little uneven but I love my long hair so much. like I know it's just hair but it means so much to me and it dosent bug me that's it's not that healthy. but my parents want me to cut like just go to a hair salon and let the stylist cut however much she wants. I did this when I started high school I went to a hair salon and we let the hair stylist cut my mid back lengh hair how she wanted and she cut it a little above my arm pits and I cried for a week. but my parents think it'll look neater and more grown up if I cut it.
anyways so my questuon is should i cut my hair? if I do should I just let the stylist do what she wants?
