As I’ve mentioned before<\/a>, I’m not very experimental with my hair. A couple of terrible mistakes along the way have provided me with the proof that I should leave well enough alone. I like long hair. And for the first twenty-some years of my life I had the exact same hair style, just cut to varying lengths. There were no layers back then. I just had long, very straight hair.<\/p>\n

As some of you may remember, I got a pretty significant amount of hair chopped off when I was pregnant with Jaia.<\/p>\n

It was very un-characteristic of me to do something so drastic, and I can’t deny sneaking peeks at myself in every available mirror on the way home in sheer panic. I liked it, but it was soooo different, and I wasn’t used to different. I don’t do different. But I grew to really, really like it – when I wasn’t hating it. There were no more ponytails (how my longish, frizzy, not quite straight, not quite curly hair ends up most days) but there was a major reduction in the amount of time spent drying, straightening and otherwise styling my hair. Bonus.<\/p>\n

But of course, as I was loving the new me, I missed the long locks of yesteryear. I found myself looking at women with long, flowing locks, feeling green with envy.\u00a0 So I let my hair grow back out…and that brings us to today. And I’m sitting here contemplating another cut. I have a style in mind (above the shoulders but below the chin), and have shown the picture to some friends and family – but the opinions have been split right down the middle. I’m not worried about the style not suiting me, I’m more afraid of regretting actually cutting it. (Point to note: I am standing as Matron of Honour in my sister’s wedding in April, on a beach, in hot and humid Dominican Repbulic. Cue frizz).<\/p>\n

To cut, or not to cut: that is the question.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
