Yeah... so once again I'm thinking of growing my hair out.

I love love LOVE having short hair... but it's been so long since I've had my hair long that I kind of miss it at times. Back in high school I had my hair so long that it was down to my waist. It was nice and shiny and healthy, however, it was heavy, took forever to wash and comb, and was really hot in the summer months. I chopped it off when I was in 10th grade and the longest I've had it since then was over 3 years ago at my wedding, and even then it was just barely touching my shoulders. It's only gotten shorter and shorter since then.

Short hair is nice because my head feels really light, it takes next to no time to style and dry, there's so many cool short looks and it's fun to play around with and you can do a lot of nice things with color, it's nice and cool during summer months and it's never in my way. Not to mention it's harder for Xander to grab and pull.

But... I'm tried of always having to run to the hairdresser every few months. If I don't keep up with it I end up with this mullet and a lazy look. I kind of miss being able to tie my hair back and braid it. Not to mention, even though I know I can pull off the short hair look very well, I always felt more feminin with longer hair. Now I obviously never want it down to my waist again, that was WAY too much trouble since my hair is really thick, but I'd like to maybe have it just below my shoulders, maybe mid-back.

Now every time I've tried to do this in the past I would change my mind as soon as my hair started touching my neck and run to my hairdresser to say "Chop it all off!!!", but I'm hoping to maybe resist it this time... I just hate the in between stage that'll take at least a year to get through. That "it doesn't really have a style because I'm letting it grow just bare with me" stage, and that's usually where I lose it. If I do grow it out I'll need a team of people to stop me from cutting it when I go into that crazy "Need to cut it NOW" stage, and there's no doubt in my mind that that stage WILL come around lol

Can't believe I just wrote a whole journal about my hair o_O I'm such a girl!
