Hello!
I’m now just over 6 months(!) since The Regret Haircut of 2018.
Photo progress is here (https://journeybacktolonghair.tumblr.com/post/180253246896/so-were-at-6-months-of-growing-out-now-and-while).
Pros:
My hair feels soft as heck.
I have saved £383838929 on shampoo since going from superlong to supershort.
I have saved a further £27282883 by not dying my hair since cutting it.
I experienced wind and sun on my neck for the first time in 26 years. 6/10 overrated.
nO sPlIt eNDs ��
The shower plug hasn’t clogged with 8ft of hair since 2017.
I now know never to experiment and cut my hair short ever again.
Cons:
My hair has regained its former sentience and is attempting to smother my eyes at every given chance as vengeance for ever cutting it.
I look like a mushroom.
I will probably continue to look like a mushroom until around June 2019.
I miss my long hair daily and am Filled With Regret for cutting it.
There are bobby pins everywhere. I only bought a pack of twenty, but somehow, 608 have spawned.
I have a weird white patch on the back of my head now. ��*♀️ It was probably always there, but previously hidden by long hair.
It hasn’t grown as much as I hoped it would in six months.
Things I Have Learnt Since Growing It Out:
If you are lazy and like just tying your hair back, don’t be fooled. A pixie cut is not the lazy person’s “I don’t even have to brush it now!” hairdo. It’s actually more effort than long hair.
The Inversion Method didn’t work for me.
Nothing will make hair grow faster. Nothing. Stronger, maybe, healthier, maybe, but not faster.
Hairbands and pins will be your friend until collarbone length.
It is possible for a human to look like a mushroom.
If you spend a week thinking “I want a big change, I know, a dramatic haircut!” STEP AWAY FROM THE HAIRDRESSERS. BUY A NEW OUTFIT. DYE IT A NEW COLOUR. DO NOT CUT IT ON IMPULSE.
Don’t trim the mullet. Honestly, no one notices that lil long bit at the back. Or, more accurately, no one cares. Let it grow, friend. Embrace it.
The mullet stage doesn’t actually last very long. But you’ll never be quite sure if/when you’ve escaped it.
I’m only 60% sure my mullet stage is over?
To the next six months. Awaaaaaaayyyyy! ��*♀️
