New Haircut

This is actually a post about me! I think this might be a first! I really needed a haircut, so I was thinking about how I was going to get it cut the night before. I was originally just going to get a trim, but then I realized that all I ever really do is put it in a ponytail; I might as well chop it all off. As I was playing on the computer that night, I looked into hair donation. Locks of Love requires 10 inches, so I had Cory measure my ponytail...he said that it was a little less than 9 inches. I got bummed because I was so close. Then, I found Pantene Beautiful Lengths, which makes wigs for adult women with cancer. They only required 8 inches! It was decided - I would chop it all off! When I got to the stylist, I was hoping that I would be able to keep a short version of my same hairstyle. No such luck. She had to cut it right at the hairline. I told her just to do it! It will always grow back, right? Isn't it funny how we get so attached to our hair? Even if you are someone like me, who never colors it, rarely fixes it, and doesn't generally care what I look like - when you are staring in the mirror as a stylist chops 9 inches of ponytail after ponytail is rough! I got through it, and I really liked it when she fixed it, of course! Now, I have tried a few things, and have remembered very quickly why I don't like short hair on me. The right side of my hair flips out, and the left side doesn't. Not too big of a deal, but it drives me crazy! The other reason I don't like it is because when it's a super lazy hair day or when nothing seems to look good, the ponytail is your bestfriend. With short hair, it's like your bestfriend, old reliable, the ponytail, has moved away for 6 months or so...
