In Which Our Heroine

Like this, kind of.

I’m making an appointment to get my hair did on Wednesday (15% student discount!) because my ends are no good and, even if I keep growing it like I want to, they’ll have to cut all that off anyway.

Last time I cut my hair, it was cut from my waist to this:

I liked when it got to this length:

It currently looks like this:

Hi, I’m pasty white. I’ve also gained weight in my head. Terrific.

I want to shave part of my head - a portion of the side, probably. Things to consider:

1. I like having long hair. I like braiding it, putting it up, doin’ stuff with it and undoing it before I leave the house, etc.
   However, my hair is very thick (over four inches in a ponytail) so when it gets longer, it tats up underneath all by itself. I could just be sitting around and it’d get all dreaded up underneath over the course of the day.
   Maintenance. My water pressure sucks. It will take for.ev.er to wash.
   The two friends I have are getting hitched.. next year? This summer? I should maybe know this ‘cause I’m a bridesmaid. Anyway, they’re getting hitched and she’d like all of us to have out hair up.

2. I don’t want to take away too much length, even if I do shave part of it.

3. I already look like a boy or a cyborg. I have very severe-looking robutt bones. I look pissed off all the time. I may wind up looking a bit more masculine than I’d like.

4. My head is big and covered in freckles and birthmarks. And my face is square-shaped.

5. My mother’s reaction. It would be hilarious.

6. If I want to grow my hair out, I’ll have to wait for that part to grow, cut my hair, cut some more, cut cut cut.

I have no idea what to do with my stupid hair. I have super cowlicks, so I can’t have bangs (not even side ones, really). I will not dye my hair. Oy.
