To Cut or Not To Cut

There are only a few issues in life I have truly had to think about.

#1 WLS

#2 Moving out of my parents house at 22

#3 Buying a home

#4 Getting my hair cut

Why is #4 such a HARD decision? I have been growing out my hair for three years now and am not happy with it. I have a hair appointment tonight after work and I am torn on what to do. I always go in and she just trims it.

I'm ready for something different. Easy to manage and Fun. I'm on the way to a whole new me - I think a new haircut would be awesome.

Now what style? How short do I want to go? My hair is naturally curly. It would be great to put product in, blowdry and go. I fight the humidity so bad in south Georgia. My hair STAYS frizzy.

Why do I have to make this so hard!?

It looks great!!

See my problem is the opposite. I have ALWAYS had short hair (My dad refused to let me cut my hair so when I hit 18 it went from waist to ears in one snip!!)

Now its between my shoulders and bra strap. I am hating it but I promised the hubby I would give growing it out a go. So I am. It has long layers in it so it doesn't sit so heavy on my neck but it still doesn't help. I want to cut it off so bad I hate long hair on me.

If you are going to get more than 10" cut from your hair, consider donating it to locks of love, or the panteen program. (they make wigs for cancer patients) It might help you feel better about your new style if you know that you have helped somene else.

I love shorter hair .. wash dry and go .... long hair is a pain in the ass to deal with takes for ever to dry and get looking good so its not all frizzy and stuff.

Yeah I have curly hair its a PITA .. I have to spend an hour drying and straightening it. No thankee spankee .. the fact I am doing this for my hubby is the ONLY reason I have not cut it.

I am the opposite of all you other long, naturally curly haired people. I had my hair short a few years ago after having it long for a while and found it much more toublesome short than long. With it long, I wash, put in anti-frizz stuff, let it air dry while I put on my make up and do the rest of my morning routine, then add a little finishing gel and go. With it short, I had to put in straightener, blow dry the curl out, spray and style. The whole routine added a good 30 minutes to my morning! So, I let it grow again after about 6 months of this.

When I decided to go short, I worked with my hairdresser and did it in stages as was suggested. I do think it would have freaked me out to go from mid back to ear length at one time. That's a lot of hair!!!

I did it!!!!! I chopped my hair OFF!!! and......... I love it!!!! Its SO much easier!!! when I work out I toss on a hat or a bandana, for work i can either put a little product in it, or straighten it (If I feel ambitious!) Here take a look!
