It's about that time. The time where I get the itch to cut my hair short.......again.
You see, I always go through this phase and it's around this exact 1 year mark.
I get my hair styled short, then get tired of it, grow it out, get tired of waiting, and then cut it again for something different.
HA! I know my repetitive hair phase self so much. When will I ever be satisfied?
I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that my hair is damaged. All these years of dying, straightening, hot ironing it, and using the wrong products have taken a toll on my poor locks. It's lost it's bounce and I've been trying to revive something that's been dead a long time ago.
The hair can really define someone and their overall look. I sometimes feel like I don't look put together when I'm wearing my dry frizzy curls. It can lead me to feel insecure or self conscious with my general appearance. At work I try to maintain a professional appearance, but I always get stumped when it comes down to actually doing a hair style. I feel like leaving my hair down and curly looks a bit too casual, and straightened out looks too....well, dry. My solution- just wear it in a bun. This look though gets boring when worn everyday and doesn't motivate me to experiment with other styles due to laziness and inconvenience.
Even sometimes when I have good straighten-out hair days it looks "healthy," but it only appears to look that way after a lot of product is sprayed and gunked on to. Then I feel like my hair is dirty, oily, and clogged.
I'm so proud of myself for standing my ground and laying of the hair dyes and flat iron (for 3 months now.) My natural hair color is coming through and looking nice, healthy and shiny. It doesn't look all that great though considering it's intertwined with my damaged brittle hair.... I'm strongly considering cutting the current do and turning it into something fresh and new. Yes.....a change is called for.
