So, I'm gonna get my hair cut.
This is a thing I feel like talking about as my hair is REALLY long. Like, it goes to the small of my back and has reached the point where it doesn't get any longer. My plan is to cut it really short. I fancy something low-maintenance and asymetrical. Probably above the ears.
The last time I had hair that short I was...well, I started growing it long again at about 14.
I've been thinking about it for a few months but it seems like a good time to do it. I mean, I don't have any weddings I know of in the next six months and I've got a con with photos but that wouldn't be the end of the world if my hair isn't great for them and, basically, I want to try something new. My hair is heavy and it gets in my way and, working in school, I tend to pick up nits really easily which is horrible and will be less likely with shorter hair. I'm just ready for a change but it still feels really drastic to chop of about 14" of hair.
The good thing is I'm going to talk to the hairdresser about taking it off as one lump then I can donate it to the Little Princess trust who'll turn in into a wig for a kid with cancer. Seems like a better use of my hair than what I'm doing with it which is mostly just being annoyed.
So, yeah, I'll panic now until wednesday and then it'll be done and I'll get on with my life.
