Thank you Jane99. I’m choosing to look at what I’m doing as being positive. By maintaining the length, I’m increasing the ratio of healthy virgin hair on my head! I suppose it could be possible to look at it in a negative way, but I just see it as self care and freeing myself from irritation! (I know that’s not what you were saying, but my brain went off on that tangent.)
I had a drastic haircut after my mum died, 8 years ago. I saw that haircut as a positive thing too. I had the courage to go for a very short pixie cut, which I wouldn’t have been brave enough to do before. The way I saw it, my mum had died, what’s the worst that could happen if I got a haircut? Nothing too bad. It grows.
I’m doing my best to avoid an emotional chop now though, because I know that I don’t want short hair at the moment and any chopping would just be out of frustration at the need to change something.
