"Brides are notorious control freaks, and many have been known to dictate every bridesmaid style detail, from hair to shoes. This particular bridesmaid was ready for a new &amp;amp;#8216;do just before her friend&amp;amp;#8217;s wedding rolled around--and you will not believe what this bride-to-be told her friend after the cut. &amp;amp;#8220;I grew out my usually short hair for my wedding this past spring because I wanted to wear it down for a romantic look. I didn&amp;amp;#8217;t specify how I wanted my bridesmaids to do their hair. Frankly, as long as they didn&amp;amp;#8217;t show up with electric-blue Mohawks, I didn&amp;amp;#8217;t care what their hair looked like. A week before my wedding, my friend, who was getting married a month after me, sent out an e-mail to me and the rest of her bridesmaids about how she wanted us to get our hair done--in low, side buns. I had been planning to chop my hair off right after my wedding because it&amp;amp;#8217;s easier than long hair to manage on hot summer days. So I disregarded my friend&amp;amp;#8217;s e-mail (I was a little busy tying up loose ends for my own wedding!), and went through with my cut plans when I got back from my honeymoon. I debuted my &amp;amp;#8216;do at my friend&amp;amp;#8217;s shower. She took me aside toward the end of the party and told me she hoped I planned to buy extensions so I could do the wedding bun style she e-mailed about. I told her I couldn&amp;amp;#8217;t afford them (again, I just blew all my cash on my own wedding!), and she told me that I may as well return my bridesmaid dress and order the groomsman tux because my new haircut was &amp;amp;#8220;more guy than girl.&amp;amp;#8221; She&amp;amp;#8217;s never really had a filter for her thoughts, so her off-color comment wasn&amp;amp;#8217;t that surprising to me, but I was still pissed with a capital P. She later e-mailed me an apology, but explained that she was annoyed that I wore my hair flowy and feminine for my wedding and wouldn&amp;amp;#8217;t do the same for her wedding. I told her my decision to cut my hair wasn&amp;amp;#8217;t about her, and if she wanted to pay for me to get my hair done the way she wanted, then I&amp;amp;#8217;d happily do it. She dropped the subject after that. Everything went fine at her wedding--I wasn&amp;amp;#8217;t even the only bridesmaid whose hair was too short to do the &amp;amp;#8216;do!&amp;amp;#8221; Would you ever abandon your haircut plans to please a bride? Do you think brides should be able to ask their bridesmaids to do their hair a certain way? What would you have done if a bride dissed your &amp;amp;#8216;do when you were a bridesmaid? I might have backed out of the wedding if she was going to be so cruel!
