With the wedding only three months and change away, I've been trying to figure out what I'm going to do with my hair. My hair has always been weeeeeird, as a child I was pretty much bald as an egg until I was three or four. After that, I had white blond peach fuzz that slowly grew out to about two or three inches by five. As I grew older, it slowly turned brown but didn't make it past my chin until I was 11 or 12. Then, it grew out, painfully slowly, to about half way down my back which is the longest it's ever been. It did begin to get super wavy/curly which was nice but never got any thicker, much to my dismay.
Since I've always had short hair or long stringy hair, I've never had a problem cutting it. I grow it out, hack it all off, rinse and repeat. Since my hair grows so slowly, this cycle would horrify most people since it takes at least two years to get it long enough to cut. Every time I sit in that salon chair and say "chop it off till you reach the healthy bits" someone in the salon inevitably gasps in horror and says "wow that's a really big change" or "are you sure you want to cut that much off??" Yes fellow salon patrons, I am really sure.
The last time I hacked all my hair off was January 2010. I was getting ready to leave for Europe with E and told my hairstylist to have at it with the scissors.
