So apparently, it doesn't really matter how much I plan and prepare and plan and prepare, I just never get around to updating my blog.
And it sucks. And I dislike myself for this, because of my perfectionistic tendencies.
In any case, I've recently come back from a week long holiday, during which I made a decision: I was ready to cut my hair.
Now, I've had my hair cut before, once upon a time, into a Chinese bob, and I loved it. Especially because my hair is naturally thick, and because of the thickness of my hair, I had to constantly wear it in a braid, otherwise my hair would knot something terrible.
If I let it down for a single day, the next time I brushed my hair it would leave me in tears from the pain of untangling the knots.
The Chinese bob was amazing in that respect. Unfortunately, the school I attended had rather strict rules pertaining to how we were expected to style our hair, especially the girls. At the time, if we had short hair, our hair was not allowed to touch the collars of our shirts. The minute it did, we were informed that we had to tie it up.
Please explain to me how you can tie up the short hairs that sit in the nape of your neck into a neat and respectable hairstyle? Basically, you can't.
And that's why I decided to grow out my hair again, although this time I had decided to keep it shoulder-length. For a while, it worked, and I maintained that hairstyle for the rest of my young schooling career.
So now, I'm out of school (have been for a few months) and have made the decision to cut my hair. In some ways, this decision is also representative of finally letting go of the past, and all the things in it, and moving forward at the start of a new chapter.
So, here's the before and after pictures:
Left to Right: Before with Long Hair, and After with Short Hair
I've since received a few compliments regarding my hair, and they've all been positive, so I'm really happy about that.
It was a rather intense feeling when the scissors made the first cut, especially because the hairdresser decided to start right next to my ear.
In any case, I love the new hairstyle. It's much more comfortable and easy to maintain.
And with that being said, I'll be signing off until the next time.
Cheers!
P.S. At the time of this post going live, it has been about three weeks since coming back from holiday.
