I said no changes but it's not for lack of time (I can make time, lol). I just don't feel compelled to cut off all my hair. Although since I'm growing the color out, I may have my hair colorist friend dye the ends to match my 6" roots.
I've gotten in a pattern of growing my hair out until it's long enough to donate and then cutting it really short. Having a baby isn't going to mess with my pattern because it makes me feel good every time I do it. I was tempted to shave my head the other day though when he learned to grab hair and not let go.
I didn't feel like any of those answers really fit me, so I'll SS here:
About once a year I decide I need a new hairstyle. I've had long hair for about five years now, and I needed a change. Contrary to popular belief, a shorter haircut is not easier. I cut my hair because: I needed a change, and this haircut is more flattering on me. Hair is an accessory, and I like to "play" with it. Has nothing to do with the baby.

This. I have only done it once but it has just gotten to the point where I can do it again! it is just finding the time to get it done! LO loves to play with my hair now - so I have to wear it up around him.
The only change I've made is that I keep it pulled up most of the time unless I'm at work. I cut my hair just above my shoulders one time in college and I hated it because it kept falling in my eyes because it wouldn't stay behind my ears or shoulders. I now always keep my hair long enough for a ponytail. I find longer hair much easier to maintain.
It took 3 1/2 long years, but we finally got our little miracle!
IVF #1 - BFP (6dt)
Unassisted Pregnancy #2 - lost at 15w6d due to T21, severe heart defects, and fetal hydrops
I picked the last one though the way it's worded didn't fit me. I have always had short hair and grew it out while I was pregnant so after I had him and it was always in ponytails I chopped it all off again. So for me it was more convenience and I like short hair.

I change my hair length, color, etc. all.the.time. I rarely go very long with the exact same thing. Don't have to have a significant life change to change this girl's hair style! LOL I wil say though that my hair is relatively easy to care for at any length and with most cuts that I would choose for myself.

This! I only ever cut my hair twice a year anyway so it gets long pretty quickly. I hardly ever blow-dry so it doesn't really get damaged either. Though with all this PP hair loss, I may just keep shedding until there's nothing left!
I meant to get a trim, but I walked out with 6 inches missing. This was not the best move. It has been difficult to try to style when I have less time to get ready than I did before.

This! I've been growing my hair out then chopping it off for 10 years. When I went to chop my hair off again after DS was born everyone freaked out telling I was still postpartum and I would regret it and I was just looking for a non-pregnant look, and mom hair cut this and that. But like I said, been doing it for a decade. Needless to say I cut it all off pixie short, like I have before and like before I love it. For me, hair grows, why should I get stuck in a rut when I can change my look every year?
I had long hair all my life until after our wedding when I "chopped" it (to shoulder length). 2 months later I decided to randomly pierce my nose and suddenly wanted shorter hair - strange I know. Turned out, the longer Victoria Beckham look was pretty cute on me. After DD was born, I had had the same haircut for 1.5 years. I decided to do some layers and add some fun to it. Now I can curl it up, scrunch it, leave it straight, or flip it out and make it messy. It is actually the same amount of work as long hair was, except it takes less time to wash! Having options was the only thing I had been missing about long hair, and now I have it back! PTL for my 2 amazing hair stylist friends!
My hair is always changing. I'm a hair stylist so when I have down time at work I do my hair. It's never the same. I've been sporting the inverted bob since DD was born in 2007 sometimes a longer version sometimes I cut it shorter. Quick and easy hair style when having to get two kids ready as well
