OKAY, before you begin writing essays telling me I shouldn't cut my hair I just want to say I am NOT necessarily going to. I've been looking around blogs and pictures online of short hairstyles and through all of them, just a few stood out to me. Even if I DID cut my hair, I'm still not sure exactly how I'd want it done. I like the idea of bangs. When I had bangs I liked them and I didn't. I thought they looked cute, but they're kind of hard to deal with. My hair is naturally wavy, so bangs would just do what they wanted and they never looked right when I used a curling iron to straighten them. (Yes, I used a curling iron to straighten them.) Plus they were a PAIN to try and stick back for reenactments. (Man, this hobby takes over my life!) The short hair wasn't too much of a problem. I now use a hairpiece and if I have enough hair in the front to pull back it looks fine. But I still like the idea of cute bangs with a short do. I don't know what it is, just sounds so adorable right now. My hair also has more wave to it when it's short. I LOVE the natural look. I'm starting to get really annoyed when girls straighten their hair and add lots of fake highlights. I realize that's just their style and it's different than mine. But I still prefer the all-natural look. If your hair is curly, leave it curly! If it's wavy, let it be wavy! If it's straight, then well just leave it that way. Be happy with the way you are. Now I realize everyone has different tastes and that's totally cool. This is just my personal taste.
So yeah...I put this together. Feel free to add your comments, suggestions, worries, rants, ideas etc etc etc. I am actually starting to get used to my hair being longer again. I'm still not sure, though. I guess I may know better after next week. And if I still have long hair after Christmas it could be a good indication that I'm going to try and stick it out with the long hair thing. It's just that I've had long hair all of my life and it's fun to try other things with my hair.
