Hair Today...gone tomorrow

Before I got married, I used to have really long hair and I loved it!

And then the day after my wedding, I decided to chop it all off!  New life, new hair!

While I loved my new haircut, I had cutter's remorse.  I missed having my long hair and the versatility it allowed me.  And so I spent the next 3 years growing out my hair.

It was amazing while I was pregnant and taking prenatal vitamins.  My hair was growing fast and healthy.  Then my son was born and it felt as if I was going bald.  My hair would come out in fist-fulls and it would take over our house.  So, again I decided to chop it all off.

I made an appointment at 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon for 4 o'clock.  That would give me no time to back out!

I was very nervous since other than trims, I had never had my hair cut in France.  The language barrier was going to be tough, but I figured hand signals would always work.  When I walked in she said what do you want to do, and all I said was short.  Very short!  She looked at me puzzled and said are you sure?  Reassuring coming from your hairstylist.

She started cutting and did a great job!  She even thanked me since she said she rarely gets to do something so drastic.  I'm still getting used to it.

Will I regret it in a week or so, probably.  Will I spend the next 3 years trying to grow it back out.  More than likely.  But for one brief weekend it was liberating to go and get it all chopped off!
