After almost 30 years (yikes did I really say that?!?) I decided to grow out my hair. I usually wore it very short and I thought fun and funky!
It wasn’t as if I disliked my hair, in fact I loved it! It was a breeze when getting ready for the day, wash it, throw some gel on it and done!
So you are probably wondering . . .
Why in the world would I go through this? (I know you understand if you have ever tried this yourself)
Why would you change a haircut that was super easy and cute?
Hmmm . . . . I’m really not sure . . . I guess I just thought a change would be fun.
So, I started from scratch . . . no really from nothing . . .
absolutely no hair! (a gift from chemo)
What a really great way to start . . . Think of all the possibilities! Right?!?
Each day as I am getting ready, I have conversations with myself. . .
You can do it . . .
You’ve gone this far you can’t stop now! . . .
It will be worth it in the end! . . .
Are you kidding! Are you really going to leave the house looking like this?!?
My 20 minute routine in the morning has turned into 40 minutes. I now use more tools than some carpenters.
And more conversations with self . . .
Hey, be thankful you have hair . . .
At least it’s as thick as it used to be . . .
Well maybe . . . it doesn’t look too bad today . . .
And that’s where I’m at . . . good days and some bad, but each day closer to . . .
Well I haven’t figured that out yet!
I guess that will be another day . . . another slice!
Hair wars! I went through the same feelings when I grew out my bangs. Can't wait to see where your hair takes you!

ReplyDeleteI love the description of what you go through with your hair. It's funny to me how people obsess about hair-I know I do. It takes a lot of time...how many minutes of your whole life do you spend on hair...hmmmmmm another slice?
ReplyDelete"More tools than a carpenter!" I love that!! I have my own hair war going on, too. There is a big difference between what I want to do with it and what it wants to do... :)
ReplyDeleteI'm on a hair journey myself right now. This really resonated with me!
ReplyDeleteAt least with "your conversations with self" you get the right answers - RIGHT??? We all need a change in hair style - just because. Good luck on your hair journey.
ReplyDeleteThere is something hilarious about conversations with oneself in front of the mirror. I loved it!
