Security Blanket No More

I finally cut my hair today. Results underneath the jump.

I think I hid underneath my hair for awhile. When I was in middle school I went through this phase where I basically cut off all my hair and didn’t want to look feminine at all. When I started high school and you know, got my act together finally, I decided to grow out my hair and uh…see what happens. There were many awkward in-between phases where your hair is mid-length and it just does not look right.

My hair’s been pretty much been the same style since university. I have really thick hair, a genetic gift from my mother of course. It’s sort of weighing me down, which looks especially awkward for somebody who’s small like me. I’m also never happy with my hair. Sometimes I think I really want a huge, drastic change but I know I would miss having long hair if I cut it too short.

I love this though. It’s lighter and it no longer seems like I’m lugging around a helmet of hair on my head. We went to a new hairdresser today, which I was skeptical about since I love our old hairdresser’s work. He actually sat down before he started cutting and asked me what I was looking for and told me what he was going to do. He also tried to convince me while he was cutting my hair to get blond highlights. Um yeah, I think I’ll need to think about that one for a bit.
