I am my hair. I wanna die living just as free as my hair
Barring the bullshit that has happened at work...because that has left me feeling hollowed out and more than a little angry...I need to think and talk about something else. And not about smut, either.
I have a question for you guys, LJ friends!
It's a vain and stupid question, but I will ask it nevertheless.
So for awhile, I've been trying to feel happier about myself, especially the way I look. I'm figuring my weight issues out and I'm starting to feel more comfortable in my body. But there's one thing that still freaks me out - one change I have not been able to make for years and years, and it's irrational and stupid.
I am talking about my hair. What should I do about it?
I don't want to lop it all off - I like wearing my hair long. But I always think of what-ifs. Like, what if I cut some length off the back of my hair, layered it, and left the fronts longer around my face? What if I dyed some of my clip-in extensions bright blue or hot pink so I could wear streaks without getting in trouble at work (not just my current fuckhole of a job, but any other job in the future)? What if I did something fairly innocuous, like putting my bangs back in?
I really want to call my stylist and ask her to do the first option, but I'm worried it will look dumb as fuck on me. It looks good on the heart-faced, big-eyed emo girls who wear shit like that, but I have a rounder face (though I've got nothing on young Neville Longbottom >.>) so I don't know. It's always been my fear that I'll do something fun to my hair, but the change will be too drastic and it won't grow out quickly enough.
I always said I would never cut my hair again. I hated it short, I hate it shoulder-length, and I hate the way I look when I try to wear the trendy, boxy bangs that a lot of people are wearing right now. I like hair over my face and I like long hair. But I want to do something about the back of it so I can play with it, and I've wanted to dye it for awhile but have been too afraid of getting fired or of wrecking my natural hair. I also think I want more fringe for my face than what I wear now, which is almost all one length.
I may just take the plunge, but does anyone have any advice about hair? Like, does anyone think I definitely should not do it? Or basically, what do you think?
