For months before the wedding, I've been "saving" my hair - I didn't go for trims for the reason of keeping it long and simple so that it's easier to adapt to hairdoes for the big day.
And now, a month after the day, my hair has grown really long and worse yet, very thick and heavy. I probably look haggard, too. So two nights ago I was browsing through a friend's hair magazine, toying with the idea of getting not just a trim but a different hairstyle. I was tempted to go for a boy-cut like I did 8 years ago. I even showed Ray the 2 styles I liked - one is a messy boyish cut while the other is a sleek and sharp one. However, I am no longer the risk-taker I was. I am actually quite terrified of bad haircuts that stay for months on end.
After much thought, I decided to just trim it. I walked into the salon for my appointment today. The sylist asked me what I wanted to do and instead of saying "Trim please", I said "I'm bored with my hair. I want something else". He suggested a style with fringe and I said no. I don't like covering my forehead. He then suggested some stylish and adventurous style which I also didn't dare go for. After a few more minutes I felt quite bad, because this guy was giving me so many choices and I was just too much of a coward to try any. In the end, I told him to just cut it shoulder length, plain and simple.
He picked up a bunch of my hair and cut it all off in one big snip. I saw the bunch fell to the floor in a thud and what I felt was "Ouch!" But when he was done with it, I felt quite good because my head feels so much lighter! Whether I look OK or not, that's something else la. At some angles I do look weird to myself.
I was told with this cut, I need to blow my hair so that the ends don't curve upwards since it's just about resting on my shoulders. I am quite lazy when it comes to doing the extras in dressing up. That's why I don't even bother wearing lipstick. What more, to blow my hair everyday?? What did I get myself into?
But what's done is done...unless I gather enough courage and decide to go for another snip to turn this semi-bob shoulder length into the boy-cut I've been eyeing. But till I am courageous enough, I will try to make peace with this.
