Lately, I’ve been really battling with the idea of cutting my hair short again. I’ve been thinking about it tons, mulling it over, and coming out scathed and undecided. This morning, I almost left for class on time when I realized I hadn’t done anything with my hair. It already looks weird because I’m still (still) in the process of trying to grow it out, so I have weird clumps and lengths all over, not to mention the stringy, bed-bumpy creature it was this morning. So, thanks to that, I was seven minutes late to class when I could have been two minutes late to class. It was then, sighing in exasperation in front of the mirror this morning as I stuffed bobby pins and clips wherever they would go, that I realized: I’m not actually too crazy about having long hair. Which is kind of weird, considering this was me in high school:
And I hate growing out my hair more than anything. Ever. Plus it takes forever to do, so . . . why do it? Why sacrifice years (literally) of my life looking like I have hacked-up mop on my head? Especially when I love having short hair. Plus again: I was only going to grow it out until we started having kids anyway, and I’m not sure I want to wait even that long anymore. Yes, I realize I'm writing about my hair. I've never felt so superficial in my LIFE. But for some reason, I have this weird guilt sometimes about cutting my hair so short.
Stupid, I know.
So. Keep on trucking?
Or submit my head for some serious TLC?
What to do?
I like it longer-ish, but the short hair looks great on you - you really have the face to pull it off. Hm.... decision, decisions. I think you should grow it out long for a while, just because you might get mad at yourself for trying to grow it out and then cutting it when you were getting somewhere
ReplyDeleteHa... funny story about that. I just got my hair cut 2 weeks ago. At the time, I was growing my hair out to get rid of my layers and get rid of my bangs - it was taking FOREVER. So when I went into to the hair salon to get the split ends cut off, I let the hairdresser talk me into a real haircut. I know have a bajillion layers and my bangs are 4 in. shorter than they were. I came home and - no lie - wore a hat for two days because I was mortified with how my hair looked. I was soooo mad that I had to start ALL OVER with my hair. I've worn it up almost every day since then 'cause I still don't like it.
Sum up to a way-too-long comment:
Both looks are great on you
Do what YOU really like the most
Think twice before you cut your hair after really trying to grow it out
