The Short Hair Itch
A Vicious Circle...
I thought I would write about this as I fall for it, EVERY SINGLE TIME. Every time, I regret it too.
If you've ever had long hair, you will know what I am on about.
Every few years, once I have finally grown my hair out, this happens.
I have no idea why, I would think by now that I have learnt my lesson...
My hair is finally just starting to grow back from my last 'itch'.
My hair came down to the middle of my back, it was a really nice length, it was heavy enough to make my curls drop and to help with the frizz. I have no idea why I wasn't satisfied with it.
I had just submitted all my coursework and I wasn't really doing anything, I was in that weird time where I was still at uni but had done all my work, I wasn't ready to go home yet and all my friends were still under deadlines or preparing for exams. I was just bored, watching a lot of Netflix and the idea hit me to have shorter hair... I must've been watching something where the actress had short hair (that is normally what kicks off the itch, seeing someone else completely rocking short hair)
This plays on my mind a lot and there is nothing else I can think about. I just want to chop my hair off.
So I did.
Myself.
If I am being honest, I haven't been to the hairdressers since I was 17. I just hate the experience and I do cut my own hair (It's probably not the best idea but that's what I do.)
It goes well,
I really loved it. It got rid of the ends and made it look healthier. I must've chopped off around two inches which wasn't a big deal and it was good. I should've stopped there...
A few weeks passed and the itch was still there. I wanted short hair, I knew in my head that it was a bad idea, short hair for me isn't a good look. It makes my hair much lighter which makes my curls go crazy and uncontrollable (I end up having to always clip my hair back).
I would justify it by saying I have a different hair routine now, I know how to look after my curls...
Excuse after excuse.
Finally. I did it. I got the scissors, sat in front of my dressing table and chopped.
I wasn't sure about it, I was always looking in the mirror and trying to convince myself I loved it.
It didn't look awful but I can say that my hair definitely looks better longer and it's easier to handle (it looks after itself more when it's long, there isn't much styling needed).

| It Grew Back but I can tell you shortly after this photo I fell for it again... |
The short hair itch will not get me again... I'm hoping...
I feel like I go through this too.
