What is wrong with me?!! Fighting the urge to cut my hair...

Posted 06-18-2008 at 04:22 PM by denalove
Good grief!! My hair is probably sick of me as far as hair goes. I go through these crazy phases...one minute it's rather long,(the longest has been BSL) then I am just ready to chop it back off! Right now I am about two inches past shoulder. I joined the July 4th challenge in hopes to grow my hair out to APL...which is going well so far. However, I keep stuggling with this strong urge to cut my hair into a bob.
My hair has always grown well and I do retain length as my hair is very naturally oily and always has been. In fact it gets so oily that it gets all stringy looking after like Day 3 of wearing a wrap. So hair growth is not a real big deal for me. When I cut it off it grows back fairly quickly. In the past when I have cut my hair it always looked so thick, healthy, and bouncy.
I can only imagine just how long my hair would be by now had I kept the shears out of my head! But each time I see a lady or girl with a beautiful short cut or bob, I just stare and adore the style and wish that I had it. I guess I am little different from the norm in that most ladies want long hair,Not so important for me, just healthy/thick. My hair is not so thick when It is very long either. I want to look really stylish and at the same time enjoy the convenience of a cut.
As I weigh pros/cons of longer hair:
Pros:
I can put it in buns/ponytails.
I can wear my hair curly.
My husband likes it longer.
More versatile, I guess.
I won't regret cutting it.

Cons:
It's thinner as it gets longer. I hate thin ends!
It requires more maintenance.
I am bored with it.

I don't know, I guess I am going to continue to keep those scissors out of my head! At least until I can't fight that urge anymore....

I know exactly how you feel...for years now everytime my hair would reach a certain length I would get bored and chop it all off...it was okay then but now I want something different...to me it seems like you can do more with longer hair than with shorter hair...whatever you decide to do good luck

so do I!

strangely, as it hasn't been that way in the past. Maybe I am not aware of some new things I've done (experimentation)

Plus the back is sooooo horribly uneven. One side is waaay longer than the other! I feel like I am hanging on to it.
