Ah, the hair dilemma. This is an interesting one.

Years ago, when I was making very little money, I started growing out my super short hair because I couldn't afford the every three week haircut required for it to look good.

Fast forward to last year, and my hair was long enough that the stragglers were down to my butt...We made good money until this June, and I could have been doing all sorts of styles whenever, but had grown cheap. Straight long hair, baby doll bangs that I cut myself, DH doing the colouring almost often enough to keep me blonde.

I'm trying to grow my bangs out, and can almost get it all behind my ear so it's not in my eyes. Yay! and I did cut about 12 inches off before I started my new job. I don't blow dry (too hard on the hair), I wash it before bed and don't brush it until it is dry in the morning.

I do miss short hair for the not having to do anything with it, but that was a buzz cut - hardly the look I'd enjoy having today.

I'm afraid of the commitment to frequent haircuts that shorter hair means, but, I would rather like to have less hair to deal with...

Now I make pretty good money, but DH's income is less than half of what it was. Luckily there is a hair school here, so the cuts and styles will be less than other places, but I'm still not sure we can afford all those haircuts.

I've got a hair appointment there on Nov 10. I'd love to go short with copper highlights.....but it's got to be a wash and go style, I hate "product".

And I have to say, one of the reasons I've kept the long blonde hair so long is that I really have had lots of compliments about it. Approval can be so addicting!

I'll let you know what I finally decide.

Namaste,
