I speak from experience; my Mom refused to get her hair cut, and eventually it was LONG and filthy as she also was refusing to let it be washed.<br /><br />Honestly, Karen, she looked like a crazy homeless woman by that point, which broke my heart, and I was so sorry I had not just cut it when I had the chance. It is cut now, and kept clean, as she's in a facility.<br /><br />That's good advice, to do it gradually, if you think the multiple cuttings will be less upsetting than losing several inches at once.<br /><br />Good luck!<br />CassCass @ That Old Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12173199705431319322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3227525769485397391.post-67991507611861041772009-12-15T17:13:39.754-08:002009-12-15T17:13:39.754-08:00I think short hair is the way to go. :)I think short hair is the way to go. :)Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09820981396988839535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3227525769485397391.post-87000997058368296432009-12-15T16:56:56.078-08:002009-12-15T16:56:56.078-08:00If it is easier for you you should cut it.

After my Grandmother had her stroke, Mom started just cutting a little off each time it was washed. Doing it gradually, my Grandmother hardly noticed that it had been cut. Need any help, my brother is a barber and my sister is a hairdresser, and I have had enough experience watching them that I can do the job.<br /><br />I remember your long hair, as you probably do mine. We looked like that all through Jr. High and part of High School.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01484143139852679347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3227525769485397391.post-11892742449386334602009-12-15T15:24:52.042-08:002009-12-15T15:24:52.042-08:00I concur.

She never stopped receiving compliments on how wonderfully young and perky she looked.
