Sarah Raley of Maryland and her fiance were selected as the couple that will be married later this year live on NBC's Today Show. They became instant celebrities. Sarah has gorgeous waistlength hair. She won and I didn't even vote! Uh oh, I think they give their brides-to-be a makeover in the weeks leading up the wedding...

I guess they're quasi-celebrities now and yes, we, the public, get to vote for everything in their wedding (gowns, tuxedos, table settings, invitations, and yes, most of all, her hairstyle). I can't wait to find out what will happen with her hair; not much can happen to his as he has a shaved head.

Luckily, they don't do an actual "make-over" for the couples, so there probably isn't any danger of her getting a major cut. The public gets to vote on her hairstyle for the wedding, though. Usually they show the bride-to-be at a salon where the hairstylist tries 3 or 4 different hairstyles for the wedding day...mostly updos, curls, once they gave a woman extensions. They've never drastically changed anyone's everyday style... ,! if a u`a %, 0`b $ (b ($ -)$$,% -$ !, br ).

I ran part of the video from the wedding show and the girl that won it, Sarah, does have really long hair. I'd describe it as easily 'butt length'. It will be interesting to watch her as their wedding gets arranged.

I feared this was coming: In the process of providing four hairstyles for Sarah Raley's wedding on The Today Show, she agreed to let the stylists cut a foot off her gorgeous mane. Needless to say, it's no longer down to her butt. When it was curled it was about to midback length. Naturally, the cut will be donated to the stockpile at the Locks of Life warehouse. You can't tell the length from these photos, but here are the choices for "us" to choose:

I think the updo wins in a landslide.

In my opinion, it is still very long. The cut was her decision - they said 10" on the show. She wanted to be sure everyone saw her dress (that is what she said on the show today). I liked the style that was down - she does have pretty hair - hate to have her tie it all up.
I know that not everyone will agree but I find very little difference in how butt length and mid-back length hair look.

You're right. Not everyone will agree on whether it's a difference. But when I saw them slicing off that beautiful hair, ugh, it made a difference, believe me. You saw how long it was before the cut. Doesn't the "after" hair look like more than 10 inches was taken? - Aa lape d , 4(`b $,`` /

With the many years of time and care for your long hair Dave, could someone "fimly encourage" you to cut 10 inches of your hair? I didn't think so and I doubt she did either, unless she wanted too.

I watched the show Dave, and it was her decision. The stylist suggested she may want to cut it just a bit to make it easier to do some of the styles, but that's what you'd expect them to do. When she did it, she wasn't on the verge of tears, she didn't have her face in her hands, she didn't lament the 10 inch braid as she held it in her hands. Back on the live show, when Natalie Morales commented breathlessly that she had cut her hair, the bride said, rather emphatically, that it was her decision, the stylists didn't pressure her to do it at all, she wasn't attached to her hair being that length, and that if she wore it down that she wanted everyone to see the back of her dress and she was worried they wouldn't with it as long as it was.
So, she didn't "acquiesce", she "decided". Not every woman who cuts or trims her long hair is the victim of arm-twisting or brain-washing by the vast short hair conspiracy.

A cut may not be the end of the world, but were I the prospective groom, the last thing *I * would hope for is to see my fiance's hair whacked from hip-length to BS.
The decision may have been the bride's, but isn't it time that everyone knew that only about 1% of hair donations given to LoL actually adorn girls' heads? The ignorance of the truth *may* have been the main reason she chopped her spectacular hair. Bob

As a follow-up to all this...
1) One of the reasons I voted for Sarah and what's-his-name is because she had the prettiest -- and longest -- hair. She's a doll.
2) Videotape will show that when they met, Sarah had somewhat shorter hair and her fiance had hair. Now he shaves what he has. (The video may follow a commercial from the Red Cross.)
http://video.msn.com/v/us/v.htm?f=00&g=49f42736-b8f9-417 a-93c2-851ce0035abc&t=m5&p=Source_Today%20Show
3) As soon as they mentioned that viewers would be able to vote on a hairstyle, I cringed that the audience would have a say on whether Sarah would cut her hair. I never thought the stylist would suggest it and she would go along with it.
4) Bob, I agree with everything you said. But as I recall, the fiance had a chance to talk her out of it and instead sat there reading his magazine.
5) Natalie Morales' hair looked spectacular that morning (Monday). She is doing a great job when called upon and is looking the part. I wish they'd use her more and Alexis Glick less.
6) Katie Couric's hair can't grow fast enough for me. - Aa lape d , 4(`b $,`` /

Hal and JF... my take on the "decision" is that if she had wanted to
cut her hair she would have brought up the issue. But as you said
JF, "The stylist suggested she may want to cut it just a bit to make it
easier to do some of the styles, but that's what you'd expect them to
do."
What this tells me is that she was easy to persuade. And possibly
felt some pressure (even if very gentle, like a virtual nudge) to
approve the stylist's suggestion.
I'd bet $ that if the stylist hadn't said a word about cutting her hair, she would have been perfectly happy.
So the depth of her conviction to keep what she had wasn't
strong. It doesn't mean she didn't acquiesce. And please
tell me why you hold so dearly the notion that I believe these events
are the results of brain-washing or a conspiracy.

The fact is that every time you get a girl with that long of hair in a salon you know that the stylist is just dying to slash their scissors into the girl's hair, its sad to see that Sara's lovely long hair was basically wasted.

Hey Dave,
I was said rather tongue-in-cheek, but the impetus of the statement is the predictable response that anytime any long haired woman gets her hair cut on any show there is never the admission of even the remote possibility that she may have actually wanted to do it. It's always because they were pressured or coerced or guilted into it.
Basically, the fact I'm wearing a shirt that I've been wearing for a while, doesn't necessarily mean I'm that attached to it or wouldn't prefer a new shirt if I was given the chance for one. I just may not have had the reason or opportunity to get a new one yet.
And Dave, you know I'm not trying to pick a fight, right? Not my style. 
And Bob S., don't drag the LoL argument into this. There's never going to be an agreement on that on the board so I'd humbly suggest we make it an off-limits topic. Fair enough?

KramerGord, my man, let's skip ahead a bit and this is an honest question: She cuts 10.5 inches of hair. She has it in a braid. Both are done deals. What should she do with it? Throw it away? Auction it on eBay? Donate it to LoL? Donate it to WigsForKids? Hang it from her rear view mirror? What?
As for pressure to cut/donate at all, I'm sure the conversation went something like, "If we take a 6-8 inches off, the styles would work better. But if you cut 10 inches, you could donate it to Locks of Love". Which is, as I said before, a suggestion by the stylist. Not born of hatred of long hair or a devious plan to allow her to start chopping away, but a suggestion. One that could be ignored.
However, my point to Dave, and to you is that not every woman with super long hair is intimately attached to every inch of it, so a) cutting wasn't that big of a deal to her and b) cutting a little more wasn't that big of a deal to her. My frustration in these conversations is that the folks that prefer long hair on the board seem to project their intense love of and need to protect every inch of all the long flowing locks they see onto anyone with long hair. Whether that person has that deep attachment or not.
What further baffles me is some of the reactions even within the long hair community itself. We've all see the posts where someone will lament that they wanted 1 inch cut off and ended up losing 4 instead. Amongst the offerings of sympathy and support, there is always the one poster that calls for the stylist to be drawn and quartered. And not in jest either. I'm not belittling the loss of six months worth of growth, but the violence and deep hatred those type of posts reveal bothers me.
And don't think I'm picking on that group especially, as I give crap to everyone and get equally tired of reading the posts by folks whose opinion I can predict before they type a word. Not saying that should dissuade anyone from posting; just pointing out (as I have before) that the most enjoyable threads to me are the ones where someone offers some insight or opinion that I may not have expected.
Bailing out of this thread...except to respond to Dave if he responds to me,

jerky flea the thing is that if a person has hair down to their butt that usually always means that the person likes their hair. And with Sara's hair it was in such good condition if she wasn't attached to her hair I would think that she wouldn't even bother to make her hair look nice. If she thought of her hair like that shirt you said earlier she surely would have got it cut a lot earlier than let it get so long.

Hi Carmichael,
Thank you for concluding that I'm both insane and closed-minded.
I wouldn't want to disappoint you. I should also apologize for
being predictable. Thank goodness that JF provides you with at
least some incentive to continue reading the board.
Hi JF,
Interesting shirt analogy. On one level, it makes sense. On
another, it doesn't. So what if the deal to try on this new shirt
was that you had to give up the old shirt, and continue wearing the new
shirt every day (presumably laundered daily  ),
but after a day or a week or whatever you decided that you really
didn't like this shirt, that you preferred the previous shirt.
But wait, the deal was that you couldn't have that shirt back (let's
say, for 2 years). Now how do you feel about the deal? Like
it was a rather cr@ppy deal.
You wear your hair a certain way. I might guess that you like to
keep it about the same length year after year (not that there's
anything wrong with that. The same goes for those who have any
particular length of hair, including long). So to maintain that
length, you make a mental note (or don't, since it's almost
instinctive) to get a trim of your short hairstyle every 6 weeks.
So also might a woman whose hair is waist-length. 'Cause she
wants to keep it at that length.
My point is that people can decide well enough on their own what length
they want their hair to be. People don't need suggestions.
I'm not saying they don't happen; rather, that they don't need to be
honored.
BTW JF, I like your style of "arguing" better than that of many people, Hal.

Well, I watched the video (didn't see it earlier). Whether the stylist made a suggestion or not (isn't that what stylist do - I know they do with my wife). If you watch the video, she definately did not seem in the least upset she lost 10.5". I was waiting for bare knuckle grip on the chair or tears or fleeing....the way some of you made it sound. I always ask my wife (she cuts my hair) what style she likes, how she thinks I should wear it....but I'm sure this won't satisfy many of you...let's try it another way. What if the girl had real short hair and the stylist wanted to use massive extensions. How many of you would be "complaining" about the abusive power of the stylist?
Just a thought...why can't we be friends, why can't we be friends....

Almost every woman I know would give up her old shirt for a new one... that's why the mall (and hair salons) are full of them shopping for new ones! However, to your point, there are a few around that wear the same old shirt day after day after day.
If one of your buddies should up at a business function wearing a leisure suit, would you let him know, fashion wise, he had missed the boat? Would you let him look bad rather than speak up? Would be rude if you did? Would you be a true friend if you did not?

Yes, but that also assumes that if I didn't like the new shirt that there is no other new shirt that I would like and the only way I'll be happy is to get my old shirt back. And it's not like I can't get it back, it will just take a while. The question then becomes that if the only way I can ever try a new shirt is to get rid of the old one, is it worth denying myself those possibilities to retain my old comfortable shirt? Some would say yes, some would say no, and still others would say this shirt analogy has gotten entirely out of control.

And this is where we diverge. I disagree with "people don't need suggestions" because that implies that any suggestion is an intrusion on their personal self-image and/or a violation of their rights. If you and I were working a job where we were repairing the gearing on a conveyor belt system, I may suggest that you cut or put up your hair to keep it from potentially catching in the gears and getting ripped from your head or your head ripped from the rest of you. Is that a suggestion you don't need?
If that's too obvious, then let's say that if we were hanging out and I mentioned that, given your features and hair texture, you'd have a cool "rock god" look going if you cut your hair to between your shoulders and mid-back and added some layering. Just my opinion, throwing it out there, you can take it or leave it. Doesn't make me think any more or less of you for taking or not taking my suggestion. As you said, it's up to you to choose to actually do something based on it.
Now, if I berated you about it daily, that would be different...

Hardly a violation of rights. Rather, I believe that the impetus for the most meaningful changes come from within.
I believe the conveyor belt analogy is poor because of the difference
in the potential impact of not following the suggestion. Conveyor
belt accidents can result in serious physical injury or death.
Hairstyle "accidents" (as visually perceived by the other person) do not result in bodily injury or death.
And regarding potential "rock god" (or whatever) suggestions, I guess
you and I have fundamentally differing ideas about what we do with our
thoughts and opinions. Some people choose to accept others for
who they are; others seek to mold others into their own ideal form.
So...

Not arguing that. And who said we were talking life altering change? That's part of my point. Simply that every person with really long hair isn't immediately going to break down if they receive a suggestion to cut it or be permanently damaged if they do. Just saying that for most folks, the hair follicles aren't tied directly to the soul.

i dont understand this arguement.

I just so happened to grab some of her interview I was leaving this morning. Not having recorded it I'll paraphrase:
She admitted that prior to the cut she had been wanting to cut it for
some time. She said that her hair had grown to the middle of her bottom
and was causing her problems like getting caught in the car door and at
this length it was a pain and generally in the way. She said that
she surprised her friends who didn't know that she was going to cut it.
She said that everyone including herself and her fiance thought it
looked fab. She readily agreed with Katie who commented that her hair
was still very long. She implied that she never had any angst since
cutting it for the show. She never commented about LOL or donating her
hair as an excuse to cut.
Now, I know that no matter what's reported there will still be more
than a few here will choose to beleive that she was somehow brainwashed
by Today Show producers and would prefer to have seen her to be an
emotional wreck over her clearly regrettable decision but none of that
appeared to be the case to this observer.
And yes Kramer it looked like they cut off more than 10 inches to me
too. Her hair was nicely waved and the long layers they cut around her
face looked impressive too. She was seated and they didn't show her
from behind but I'd say it probably falls to somewhere above the small
of her back now.

She went with the updo. She wanted to show off the dress that's why she go it cut. That was also said in the interview. When she put the dress on then her hair cover it. So I think that was added reason for the cut. Kate C was the one that asked her about the cut in way it wasn't shot out as a question. !% Ah ``d ba ,%$ bp $($ b ).,%$)-!,) ! % 0b` %$

Long hair can be very heavy on a woman's head in an updo and is far easier
to style when it's shorter.

Sorry, Rod, I like Jared's observation better than your explanation. Although Sarah had no idea which style the viewers would choose, she knew there was a good chance that most of her dress would be showing. Obviously the hairstyle footage took hours to tape and they only showed a few minutes of it on The Today Show, so we'll never know the entire conversation. I still look at it as a waste of beautiful hair. But I like how passionate we are on this topic. Cripe, this is the 48th response to the original posting. At the risk of being predictable again, I hope that when Sarah and what's-his-name are videotaped on their one-year anniversary that Sarah's hair is longer, and the two-year anniversary is even longer and so on. - Aa lape d , 4(`b $,`` /

I still think she wanted it cut. If anyone heard her on Fri's show she wasn't in tears or upset she was happy about it. Damm I'm a long hair lover but when someone wants to cut it what can you do. Zealots out there on both sides think about it. I guess this example is the best where it was asked she took it and now everyone wants to think she was pushed into a cut?

Hey now, don't you go turning on me, too. Having Fatmoo mad at me is all I can take for one day. Seeing Bride To Be's ponytail cut off was way more than I could take for a year. I'm still in mourning. Let me mourn. - Aa lape d , 4(`b $,`` /

OK. Alert the media.

No need to alert the media. I think they're up on the
distinction. And before I go on my next vacation, I'll first seek
your approval for its duration - okay?

Sarah would laugh if she could see the discussion about her hair! I am Sarah's cousin, and I live in Baltimore. I discovered this thread as I was googling information about their wedding (I am making a scrap book for her). Sarah made the decision on her own to cut the 10 inches off. She made it clear that she was willing to part with a portion of it but not all of her length. Mark was very supportive to whatever she wanted to do. She also figured that if she was going to get her hair cut, it would be a once in a lifetime opportunity to have Louis Licari do it. Sarah has a beautiful, thick, heavy, natural wave in her hair (seriously, she could do Pantene commercials - I'm jealous!), so that's why it looks shorter. The week they did the reveal for the hairstyle, Sarah actually hid her hair in a bun so everyone would be surprised to know if she cut it - including her mother! Sarah looks beautiful no matter how she wears her hair, but I do like the shorter length. Now you see Sarah and not the hair. She also wanted to make sure that whatever hairstyle was chosen, the dress would be visible. When she tried the wedding gowns on in New York on the day of the reveal (Sarah, her mother, my mother, our grandmother, and I went to New York for the reveal) her hair got caught in the dresses. The dress that was chosen had such beautiful detail that Sarah wanted to make sure it would be visible. It's a good thing America chose the updo. It was so humid the day of the wedding - even at 6am in the morning! The last thing she would have needed was her hair sticking to her face while trying to balance in the gown (it was heavy!).
So there you have it. Someone who knows Sarah and can testify that she alone made the decision to lop off 10 inches and donate it to Locks of Love.

I'm sorry that you stumbled onto this site. Some people feel a sense of
ownership of her and her hair because it was so long. It's her hair and
doesn't belong to those of us on a message board. She's not a celebrity. How
she wears her hair from now on should be up to her.

DO NOT apologize for me, Rod. I think I introduced the topic of Sarah's hair. And I disagree with your assessment that she is not a celebrity. When you go on national television and get married, you become an instant celebrity. Sarah's hair is perfect for this thread. Aren't there 60-some responses so far?
As a lover of long hair, I stand by the disappointment of having to watch Sarah's hair cut on national TV. I accept that it was her idea to do it and appreciate her cousin's insight on it (although I still have my doubts about Locks of Love and their factory full of hair). But I remain hopeful that Sarah will grow it longer and longer just the same.
By the way, I, too, voted for the updo. She was a stunning bride -- and I'm sure that sentiment was echoed across America.
If you show this to Sarah and Mark, please let her know we're not crazy, just very passionate to the topic. - Aa lape d , 4(`b $,`` /

Have no fear, Sarah would be delighted at the thread! Although she enjoyed her long hair, as far as I know, she is not planning on growing her hair back to that length. I know that it was a decision she had a really hard time making, but was glad that she did it. Like she says, it's not every day or every person that has the chance to have Louis Licari do your hair. Sarah's had the long length for several years and had said that the whole reason she was growing it out was to donate it to Locks of Love. She just never got around to it until now! She went regularly to her hair dresser in St. Mary's County to get it highlighted and trimmed which is why it looked so good. Honestly, I have never seen anyone with long hair that looked as nice as hers - and it's not because I'm partial! I've noticed that most long, long hair starts to get long and stringy at the ends. Hair grows faster and better the more it's trimmed (at least that's what my dresser says). Anyway, Sarah's enjoying being able to put her hair up without it feeling like a brick on her head! When she and Mark honeymooned in the Maldives, her luggage got lost (it was at the airport the whole time!) and she had only one pony tail holder (her hairbrush and the like were in her luggage, of couse), which broke during her and Mark's private yoga lesson...and that was only day 2 of the trip. It wasn't like Mark could help her out any in the hair accessory department, least of all a hair brush!

Any idea how long it took for Sarah to grow her hair that long?

She's had it super long for the past 3 years or 4 years if I remember correctly. As for growing it out, her hair seems to grow pretty fast - probably two years? She used to have it in a cute shag cut, and then grew it out to just past her shoulders, and then the next time we saw her it was long. Actually, I had just chopped my waist length hair off and not long after, Sarah started to grow her out. So it's been within the past 5 or 6 years that she's had the long hair.
