Wow, Foundling, the same thing happened to me when I was six. I refuse to let anyone cut my hair anymore. Unfortunately, my hair's maximum length is getting shorter as I get older, so while it used to grow past my waist, right now it is only to the middle of my back.
(Everyone, please don't try to tell me that trimming my hair will make it grow longer. I let my cousin cut off six inches and it has not gotten any longer in the two years since I allowed her to do that.)

Space Opera, at four years old, my sister's hair was longer than mine at 11 (I had never cut it). It was GORGEOUS. She was too little to be able to take care of it properly.
I cried when she got it cut.
Now, though, I think short hair suits her better. Of course, now, she's grown it out again. She's twelve. Posts: 7877 | Registered: Feb 2003

I'm maybe joining the support group and maybe leaving...
In short, I'm considering cutting my hair again. Short, that is.
I have very curly (ringlet-y curly) very dark hair. I had it long all through high school and first year uni, flirted with various shortish cuts second and third year and then fourth year had it cut pixie-short
I grew it out for my wedding - after a bit over a year of growing out it is on my shoulders dry (and curly) and halfway down my shoulderblades wet/straight. Pinned up here, but the general idea is there.
Thing is, though I like being able to play with it (as Katie said, styling is easy with curly hair) I am sick of the maintainence. Conditioner. Hair masks. Just the hot icky feeling on the back of your neck.

Like imogen, I have also been considering cutting my hair. It's currently a bit past shoulder length when wet (considerably shorter when dry), and very thick. It's actually easier to put up and under (snood, hat, wig, whatever) when it's long-ish.
But I'm getting tired of dealing with it, and it's not like I have anyone to keep it long for. And there are a couple hats I have that I can only wear when my hair is shorter.
Then again, I do like it long. I have really great hair, and I do hope to have someone who will appreciate it before it would have next grown out if I were to cut it short now.
But it was really easy when I cut it all off . . .
Plus pixiing my hair was something I'd been planning on doing since junior year in high school, but I wanted to do it when I was Ready. And boy, am I.

I had pixie cuts (or slightly longer bobs) most of the way through junior high and high school. Then I grew it long in 11th and 12th.
The year after that, I asked someone to trim my split ends. She talked me into 2-3 inches . . . and cut off EIGHT. It's been 13 years, and I still haven't entirely forgiven her.
Before she cut it, it was midway down my back (and longer when wet). It hasn't been that long since, and while short tempts me, so does growing it that long again.
