"I said yep, what a concept, I could use a little gas myself and we could all use a little change"
(sorry, your thread title had that song in my head in no time flat).

I have beautiful hair, super thick and gorgeous when long. But I don't feel like I look like ME with long hair, it was always in my way and I would wrap it in funky ponytails to keep it away from my face. It's almost boy-short again now, and I love it. It has a bit of curl to it, which is a tad challenging to cut, but I've figured it out now so a little gel and I'm on my way. (
I cut it myself most of the time, unless there's something important coming up, then I call my super-talented Hairboy up. He sighs a bit at me, pokes a little fun, but it's just hair. If I mess it up, it grows.
