A lot of guys just like long hair and as far as the makeup some guys just like Natural beauty. I don’t think he being mean or that you have anything to worry about. I think he might not know how to tell you but he probably thinks your beautiful just the way you are.

LEAVE HIM. He doesnt want you doing anything for you. Cut your hair… (I did same thing my son was a month old. I had long butt length hair and my fiance supported me in chopping it off into a short shoulder length cut.
Do you. Feel beautiful. Be happy. Ditch the loser if he keeps making you feel like this.
If he really wanted you to be happy he would accept your wish and let you do what you want with your hair and makeup if he thinks your going to cheat keep a eye on him he’s doesn’t sound like he’s very confident in him self 
This is controlling & abusive. My husband is a pretty good guy & sometimes he jokes “Who are you looking all good for today?” & I tell him “Myself! Duh” lol These m*n out here thinking we’re trying to impress them or other men are full of themselves. I like makeup & hair bc it makes ME feel good & that’s honestly the case for every other woman I know who’s into hair & makeup.

Men do this for control. He’s insecure and it’s not healthy.
My man literally tells me he doesn’t care how I cut my hair or what colour I choose, and I wear make up every day and he’s never said anything except “you look beautiful”.
You shouldn’t have to worry about what he’s going to think. It’s your hair, face, body etc. do what you want to do and if he loses it then leave.

Honestly, he probably just likes your long hair, mabe meet him in the middle and dont cut that much off or just do it… Mabe he will like it. As for the make up i think he just needs reassurance that it makes you feel good, its not for anyone else but your self confidence

My advice is that he needs therapy. He has deep issues with his self confidence and he needs to work on that. It’s not something you can do or fix. He has to be ready to work on that issue and it will likely be hard. But, for the sake of your relationship and happiness, I suggest he be open to trying.
I’m dealing with the same thing (but opposite). I feel like my bf will leave me every chance he gets when he’s never given me any reason too. When he takes the time to make his hair looks nice I panic.
I’m in therapy currently working on it and it’s taking time, yeah. But it is helping.
He, like you, has done nothing. It’s my own insecurity that I need to work through. It sounds like your fiance needs to as well.
Hope this helps…
Run!! He’s trying to control you! You should be able to do whatever you want to your hair, wear whatever make up you choice! And this might not be the case but in my experience men who try to control their partner because they are afraid they will cheat are usually men who are cheats! They know what they are doing so become paranoid you’ll do the same. This sounds like an incredibly unhealthy relationship. Ask if he would be willing to go to counselling? If not tell him he can either deal with the fact you are a woman who has control over her own body or he needs to leave and buy himself a mannequin to dress up.
Just having a baby, just something to be aware of, men get postpartum too. Depression, anxiety, rage. If this seems out of the norm or that it’s something you weren’t expecting - look into options to discuss therapy or help. It’s always good for you too as a mother in postpartum. If this is normal behavior, then it may be something to address. Communication is key, always.
Just talk to him. He may not understand why you want to do those things.

It’s your hair and you have to take care of it. And a little makeup always makes you feel better. You do what makes you feel good.
Ew this sounds like my ex
These comments are disappointing. Just because he has bad qualities does not mean she needs to run right away. They have a baby together. If they love each other, maybe she can talk to him about it and he could be willing to change.
I’ll admit he does sound a little too controlling. But maybe with good advice, and an open mind he could change. She sounds like she wants that rather than giving up and looking for support to throw it away.
I say, talk to him. Let him know how he is making you feel and suggest therapy. If he’s not willing to grow, then you can make a tough decision. But for now, communicate. Let him know how much it bothers you and how serious you are about it.

Sounds like a lot of baggage… not a lot of introspection… hmmmm
My bf doesnt like me cutting my hair but when i told him i wanted to do it he did it for me. He does what makes me happy and loves me regardless. The way hes telling you know is a control trait. Leave if it doesn’t stop
This is a control issue get professional advise before there is a major problem
That’s toxic and controlling.
I’ve been with my boyfriend a yea and haven’t cut it since a week before we got together. Just had out baby 3 weeks ago and he’s never said anything like this. I can get my hair cut whenever, I just haven’t cause with 3 kids and covid that’s a bit difficult 
but I also haven’t worn makeup since the night we got together, I can wear that when ever too but I don’t really go anywhere that I feel I should take the time to do it, but maybe soon for a date night I will.
It sounds like he’s trying to tell you who he truly is…you should listen very carefully, because all i hear are red flags.

Don’t let him control you…you can and have power over your own body mind and soul…he needs to get over it…do what makes you happy
Your body, your rules! You do what makes you happy and feels good, no one dictates to you how you should look or feel.
He may have had a past experience happen to that makes him feel this way. Perhaps an ex of his had suddenly changed her appearance. Then cheated on him. It may be an insecurity thing he has. Try talking to him about how you feel and why you want to change yourself. If you are unhappy with your appearance let him know that you arent happy with your looks amd juat want to prove yourself wrong. And then find out why he feels the way he does. Or even if you just start with each day putting on a little bit of makeup.
He sounds disgusting. Cut your hair. Wear what you want.
Why are you even asking him?
I’ve been married for a bunch of years and I change my look often… Never once I’ve asked my husband for approval! I’m sure he has liked some looks more that others but he just loves me and wants me to be happy and I want the same for him…
This kind of thing shouldn’t even be an issue
Do what makes you feel good about yourself. I waited years to do the big chop partially because my husband kept saying he didn’t want a bald headed wife, well I finally just did it because at the end of the day it’s my hair and I couldn’t be more happier with it short. It’s been about six months since I cut it and the other day was the first time he gave me a compliment on the way I had twisted it out. Do you and good luck:)

In my personal experience when I’ve had ex’s act like that they were cheating. Allot of it sounds like projection. He needs to do a little research in to post partum depression and support you in any way he can. It’s about YOU feeling good about yourself not anybody else. I know it’s hard but you’ll get through this love. Good luck

Ok ladies hear me out. Yall just saying do it. Your body your choice, your right! Absolutely, but that isn’t gonna solve this. Flip the role. Dude asks his homies this. “My girl is doing her makeup again and got her haircut.” You know what the homies are gonna say? She’s cheating. Just like women, men have insecurities too. But by no means does this mean don’t get prettied up for yourself. But don’t acknowledge that he don’t like it and it just do it. You gotta communicate. Rrlationships are 50/50 you have to find mutual grounds. Guys are insecure for many reasons. You ladies literally have a unlimited market. Even if we are the best for you. We still feel like you can find better. Us men have been told we are replaceable since we were kids. “He’s insecure” NO SHIT we all are. Pointing that out don’t help the situation. Controlling your ladies looks is toxic but don’t think that " oh I’ma do it hell get over it" nah he’ll get worse. He’ll feel less secure, and you’ll risk losing what you built just because you didn’t communicate properly… and before you ladies jump down my throat about it. Again do what you want it’s your body. But if you wanna genuinely solve this problem then talk about it. Find ways to make him feel more secure. And maybe he’ll step up and make you feel more beautiful than the make up and haircut will.
Red flag warning, 1st sign of controlling you, and than no friends and alienation from family, I would be careful with that! Those kind of men like to hit and make you feel insecure and small! Sending guidance to you and God keeping you safe! Blessings to you!

Young one - you both are going through something that is quite normal. You need to communicate- tell him you have a girl thing going on inside and you want to look pretty for him. As far as hair - to my people - long hair is the sign of strength and life- so that part I can’t suggest anything. When he says things about cheating - stop right there , look into his eyes and ask him - do you trust me, do you know how much I love you- are you happy- (let him answer) then say please do not say that ever again to me it hurts my heart .
Communication sweetie

Sometimes, when a child is introduced to the family. A man can feel unwanted or ignored , making them feel a loss of love. Maybe you should ask of he is okay in his needs. Happy spouse happy house kinda thing. Not saying what everyone else is saying isn’t the case, but I do know a growing family sometimes leaves someone left out.

Sounds like he has narcissistic tendencies… You are you own person… No one should be telling you, whether or not, if you can cut your hair or wear makeup.
If you’re asking for permission, you’re doing it wrong. Do whatever you want to do to be happy in your own skin, you’re wearing it not him.

Hon. Men can get PPD just like women. It sounds to me like hes got it. Maybe have a heart to heart with him. Try to figure out why he feels this way or why hes saying those things.
Dear beautiful, my husband of 15 years doesn’t like my hair short or makeup. I no longer work & my husband works from home but here is the thing.
He tells me all the time how beautiful I am without makeup & he prefers me without the makeup. I love long hair just as much as he does but it comes a time when you need for it to be shorter for many different reasons, like having a baby or being sick & not able to do your hair daily. I cut my hair 1x a year. I let it grow until I lean back into a chair and my hair gets stuck between the chair & my back. I ALWAYS wear my hair in a ponytail when it’s long. I guess what I’m getting at is my husband loves me just as much if I cut my hair & wear makeup. I get the same affection from him either way I am. My husband is NOT a narcissistic, he is very kind & loving. The truth is that if I put something on that looks bad, he will tell me bc he told me he didn’t want me to go out & not be happy with my clothes after we have already gone. He hasn’t always told me these things, about the makeup, hair clothing, bc he was afraid I would think he was being controlling. When I do doll up he tells me how beautiful I look & tells me always that all the men are jealous because he has the best looking lady out with him. When I get ready to go for a hair cut he tells me to pamper myself since I only go 1x a year, so I try to always throw in a massage also. When I ask him to go with me he will sit in a waiting room waiting on me. We shop together & do everything together bc we love each other & we have no family close by. The closest family is 12 hours away & it was my choice to move where we are now. This is how a good marriage works. I have 1 daughter from a previous marriage & he treats her just like she is his daughter & loves her just as much as I do.
Don’t let all of these people tell you to run, but you do need to make sure that he has good intentions like my husband. If he just want let it go you might want to reassess your situation. I’ll send a prayer & good vibes your way! Peace, love, light & pray!

My man says the same shit. Who cares what he says lol
Those are major red flags, girl.
He might otherwise be great right now, but wanting to control your physical appearance is often an early warning sign that other controlling and abusive habits will form or surface.
Tell him if he likes long hair so much, he can grow his out. It is YOUR hair and you will do what YOU want with it.
If he reacts badly, that’s another red flag that you should consider listening to.
Try and explain to him that you want to make these changes to your hair and start doing your makeup again because you’re feeling a little like you’ve neglected yourself since having the baby.
Self care is important, and make it clear that these are self care for yourself.
If he reacts negatively to you thinking that you deserve self care, walk away.
Because you DO deserve self care. Do what you want. Do what makes you happy. If he doesn’t like that, he doesn’t love you - he loves having control over you.
