Refreshed
I’ve always had a love-hate relationship with my hair. Yeah, it’s long, straight, and smooth but it’s also slippery, heavy when it’s long, doesn’t hold a curl, and ends up looking the same by the end of the day – in a ponytail.
So, I made an appointment for a haircut and thought I’d give it a try once more. I had a weenie haircut back in February where I got some layers in the front but it wasn’t drastic enough. I still didn’t really need a blow dryer and it ended up in a ponytail once again. As I walked out of work today, a good friend said to me, “Happy Haircut!! Be brave!!” and I was inspired. As a result, I cut off 5 more inches, got more layers, and actual bangs!! I had bangs all through childhood, high school, and my first two years of college but this time it was going to be different! I didn’t wait 13 years for the classic straight-across-all-one-length cut again.
As the stylist snipped away, my head felt lighter instantly. She taught me how to use a brush and blowdryer and recommended using some product in my hair for volume. My low-maintenance mornings just got a little trickier. I tried to pull it back into a ponytail just now and it’s gonna be tough. I’m going to need some strong rubberbands and lots of hairclips for work tomorrow…but I still like it. It’s a welcome change and totally worth the trouble…at least for now.
