Going.....Going.....

...My hair that is! Ive decided to get the chop and cut my long hair. I havent had a decent cut since I was first pregnant with Summer and it was so easy to manage back then. I didnt even bother to straighten it either because I was so sick with all day sickness, Id let it dry naturally and let it go curly, even though I hate my natural curls. My hair hates humidity and as soon as I mention the word it goes frizzy!

Now I love my long hair, especially when its just been washed and straightened with my wonderful GHD straightener, but its just getting in the way now, and the girls think its funny when they pull it. Not only that but I hate it around my neck when Im at the gym, even if I have it in a ponytail it sticks to my sweat-coated neck.

So I think its better to get it cut shorter to a nice, managable length. I wanted to go for a different style, like a layered look but Im scared if I go too short that my hair wont be long enough to straighten and then Ill be well and truely screwed and have to be happy with curls...ick! So Saturday is the big day when I go and get my hair chopped off, just in time for some family events. Anyway, now that I have the new me, its time to have a different hair style to go with my new look.

I have some before shots of what my hair is like here...

I chopped off all mine as well, and for the same reasons as you (hair pulling) - it really is liberating in a way! I enjoy my short hair now.

Can't WAIT to see your after shots!

Oh I SO understand about the curls!! LOL I've straightened my hair for about 40 years, and it's been long almost all my life. I just started leaving it curly for the last couple of months, I'm still trying to get used to it.

I can't wait to see your new "do" Danni!
