I debated for a long time. I just wanted to chop off the coloured bits because they looked disgusting. I wasn't thinking of a pixie cut when I sat in that chair. I saved pictures from Google for medium sized haircuts thinking I'd just get the coloured parts trimmed.
My niece and I had a pact that we would go really short. When she sat in that chair, she totally flipped and realized how much she loved her hair. Result: she ended up getting a trim. I, on the other hand, found the confidence to believe that I wasn't going to look like a complete idiot if I got short hair. And so I said, "Chop it all off." By that, I didn't mean go bald. I just meant cut the 7-8 inches required.
It's actually not as easy to chop off your hair if you have been growing them out for years. However, I felt, this time would be different. This weird confidence spoke for me... "It's just hair! They will freaking grow back in no time. Much healthier, too."
I just had no idea it would be so liberating this time around. It turns out I am a short hair person. I have this urge every 2 years or so. Mostly, all women want long hair when they chop them off and they all want short hair when they have it long. This is a vicious cycle. I am so glad for the low maintenance and easy styling. Ain't nobody got time to spend hours on styling. I spent this entire semester looking crap and not doing anything to my hair. I am going out for co-op interviews and I thought I might look more presentable and put together with hair that is easily manageable.
Who else is going short this summer? :)
