Why I Cut My Hair
Hey Babes, Shit Is Getting Real.
I have always had long, full, healthy, objectively great hair, until well, I didn’t anymore. I think the last time I had beautiful healthy hair was my senior year of high school. In college, as I dealt with mental health and reproductive issues my hair got progressively thinner.
Maybe other people couldn’t tell, but I could see the difference in photos, in my hairbrush and after the shower. My hair went from thick and long to just long, tangly, dead and thin. Honestly, it’s fucking depressing to watch your hair thin out at a young age. So, I continued to toss my hair into ponytails and messy buns to disguise just how thin my hair had become.
My Breaking Point
Seeing patches of skin through my hair when it was pulled back into my updos.
In February, I got 7 and a half inches of my hair cut off, which is the most amount of hair I have ever gotten taken off. I didn’t just hop in the chair and buzz it off à la Britney Spears in 2007. I thought about it for a while, because even though, “it’s just hair”, it’s a big deal. I found styles on Pinterest that I liked, and thought it through.
To be honest, I really love my hair cut. My hair feels thicker and fuller, it is so much fucking easier to manage and I no longer feel strangled by my wet hair while showering. Was it weird to not be able to tie my hair in a high messy bun? Yes! But, I do not regret my decision at all and honestly, I wish I did it sooner.
