Hair today, gone today

I’m quite impulsive and impatient.   When I get an idea in my head, it needs to happen immediately… like the urge to cut my hair.

I’ve been growing my hair out ever since I got pregnant.  And it was short… like really really short.  And then it got long.  Like really really long.  Like longer than I’ve ever had it in my entire life.  I tried to challenge myself to let it grow really long and I accomplished that. I went almost 3 years without cutting it short.  That’s a huge record for me.

Today, however, I couldn’t take it anymore.  It was too much hair.  It was either in my way or up in a messy bun.  I missed having hair that I could let down and it not be a complete nuisance.  I also missed my curly hair.  It was slowly disappearing because of the weight of all that dang hair.

So here is the before (complete with funny face):

long

And the after…

short

Not too short, but shoulder length is perfect for now.  The best part?  It cost nothing.  I cut it myself.  I like it. The curls and waves are starting to bounce back already.

Next impulsive behavior may be hair color… I will still stick to the red family, but  I’m considering either more copper or more burgundy.  Let’s see what happens…

    Love it! I’m the exact same way when I decide something it has to happen yesterday. I get the hair thing. I went from crazy long hair (to my waist), right up to just barely grazing my shoulders length and I love it!

    Love it, Abbie! I’m trying to grow out my hair to its previous longest point, but I don’t think I can do it. It just gets big and crazy and I only put it in a braid when I’m tired of the bun or ponytail.
