be confident enough to get a short haircut

but it is two inches shorter… and layered… and I’m VERY happy with it! I actually think this is the first time I haven’t cried after getting my hair cut! Yes it is still long (just about to my elbows now). If it gives you any idea, everyone at the salon was commenting on how LONG and pretty my hair was after being cut. Still I don’t think it being long undermines how BIG it was for me to let someone take scissors to my hair. I think part of the reason it has been so hard for me to go to the salon is because doing so involves trusting another and giving up control-both of which are far from easy.

All in all, I am still very attached to my long locks, but now I am actually happy to be attached to them.

I’m getting my hair cut this weekend. I have let this go long enough. I caught a glimpse of myself from the back at the mall yesterday and that convinced me: my hair couldn’t look worse…

I think I may go tomorrow. It may not be “short.” But Hell, it will be “shorter.”

My hair has gotten WAY too long. It is right above my ass now. I must get it cut!
