I’ve almost always had long hair. (not counting the time when i had lice as a kid and my mom basically cut it all off!)

I love long hair. i think its beautiful and i love being able to put it in all sorts of styles….but…my hair is THICK, CURLY, FRIZZY and DRY. I didn’t mind so much before when i had an hour or two to style it. Ever since kids, ive worn it in a messy bun almost every single day! Even wearing my hair in a bun, id still end the day with endless amounts of mats and knots and spend and 45 minutes trying to get them all out! I barely have time to myself, and when i do, i dont want to have to torture myself!

My husband also loves long flowing hair. Ive been talking about cutting it for awhile, and he’s been very adamant that i don’t. In fact, he wanted me to keep growing it until it got to the small of my back!

I was always the one who said they’d never cut their hair short when they had kids because thats so lame, and who wants mom hair? I dont! I want to be hip forever!

pppppppffffttttttttttttt………………

I had my hair appointment on Monday.

Lets just say my husband wasn’t very happy. He told me now my hair was borderline mom hair…the nerve! He’s making me regret it already.

Its a lot shorter than i was thinking, but when i started talking about it to my stylist, she just started cutting! She said i had been talking about it for awhile, and she didn’t sense any apprehension in my voice like she usually does when i talk about it. What a friend!

Do i think ill keep my hair this length? Probably not, but its a nice change and hopefully easier to manage with the kids.
