Britney Spears Moment...

Well, it wasn't this drastic

But anyone who knows me knows that my LONG hair is like my trademark. I have had extensions since I was 15. Although, my hair grew to be just as long as my extensions, I still kept those 22" extensions in. Yes, twenty-two inch, buttlong hair! See for yourself..

I don't know what got into me but I had a mini breakdown and I guess I took it out on my hair. I grabbed the scissors from the kitchen and went into the bedroom and sat in front of the mirror. I separated my hair into two sections and *snip snip*

It was liberating! Refreshing!! My hair has been the same for the past 6 years and it was now so different. I looked at myself in the mirror and started getting lightheaded! "Did I REALLY just cut my hair off?!"

I ran out to the living room with the scissors in one hand and a chunk of cut hair in the other and asked my husband, "Is this real life?" lol I just couldn't believe it! I ran to the restroom and touched the ends of my hair and he looked at me and said "Yup, this is real life" followed by me bursting out into loud sobs and tears.

 He kept saying "Hair grows, babe" but to me, it wasn't just hair. It was a security blanket. My long, curly hair was something I loved about myself. Something people even envied. Having hair barely pass my shoulders was completely out of my comfort zone. I got in the shower thinking maybe it would wake me up and my hair would be back but when I got out, the hair I had cut was still there sitting on the bathroom counter.

I kept saying, "Do I look weird? Does it look bad? My hair is so short. Oh my gosh, it's so short. I have no hair. Do I look ugly?" and my husband replied with, "It looks great. I really like it. It's new, different, better." And now, I'm starting to like my new look. My hair feels healthier, thicker! I think it'll be fun and cute and a great change for me. Although, I think I should have a professional fix it a bit since I just chopped it off straight across hahaha

Anyway, I can always get extensions!
