If you know me, or have read my blog for donkeys years you will know that I always bang on about want to cut my hair into a long bob. I’ve been saying this for years.
When I started dating S, he told me how much he loved my long hair and how feminine it was. Every few months I would say, I’m going to cut my hair off and he would put his foot down and demand that I kept it long.
3 weeks ago we were both in the bathroom getting ready and I said “I’m going to cut my hair” to which he looked at me, was silent for a moment and then said “Yeah, okay. Do it” so I made the appointment and now that it is tomorrow I am kind of freaking the phuck out.
I think that I tend to hide behind my hair, if that makes any sense. When I am nervous/sad/bored I tend to pick at it (probably why it is in such bad condition actually) to avoid having to look at people. This drives people insane I have found.
I have also realized that if I feel self conscious in an outfit, I use my hair to hide an open back or a revealing front to make myself feel more covered and it tends to help.
Just writing this post has left me feeling sick in my stomach. I haven’t had short hair since grade 6 I don’t think.
I’m hoping that if I take these photos to the salon, it will come out looking similar. If I want to wear it curly, I want it to look like these (one can only dream):
So what are your tips for not freaking out and having a melt down in the salon chair tomorrow? I know that it is just hair and that it will grow back, but still!!!!
