Where I would write a blog about my hair. Well, really I should have expected it, as my hair is on of my all time favorite things. Call in pure vanity, but really, have you seen the river of chestnut locks that is my head of unbelievably thick hair?
That is surprisingly a good transition into my next point. So I am growing out my hair. Or at least, I have been for the last two years. And nothing. It has been the same general length for the last two years. I get it trimmed every 3 months or so, because if I don't, the ends are just a mass of split hairs and plain old disgusting. Anyway, same length for a very long time. I asked Carolyn about this the last time I got a trim in March and she told me that it's just because the hair at the ends is so old and weak, it probably can't take what I do to it (which, in all honesty is just the occasional blow dry and straightening!) So here comes my problem, the same problem I always have when my hair begins to get to a pretty decent length.
I want to cut it all off.
Seriously, I want a chin length bob so badly, I can almost feel myself reaching for the phone to call Carolyn. And truly, it would be for the best. My hair is fairly unhealthy apparently and chopping it off and starting new would only be helpful. Plus I think I look pretty decent with short hair so it wouldn't be a huge disaster, right?
But....
I LOVE MY HAIR! I love how thick it is, I love that when I get angry, bored, distracted, frustrated, excited, tired, hungry, you name IT, I grab up bunches of my hair and play with it. I can literally sit in front of mirror for endless amounts of time doing funky crazy hair styles I would never in a million years actually do, but still like to pretend. And I want to see how long I can actually get it. Even though it seems to refuse to grow, this is the longest is has ever been and I would love to try to go for as long as possible. Also, I have the longest hair of my friends, NOT because I secretly and subtly suggested and pushed for my friends to go ahead and just chop of their hair. My latest conquest of doing this is my friend Anjli who has ridiculously long, beautiful hair. Legitimately, down the length of her whole back is gorgeous waves of black, black hair that is just in a league of its own. Which is why I have pretty much given up on her ever cutting it, as she has a similar problem to me.
It's a security blanket. Especially, in my case, my bangs. I tried pulling them back the other day because they were so dirty, they should not have been seen and I felt so weird! Borderline naked, and it was not a fun feeling. Along with my long hair, I love my bangs. Love, love love them. I semi-attempted to grow them out as well last summer until about the end of July when I just took matters into my own hands and cut them short again. I just can't have my forehead in plain view, or something.
So here is the question I pose to my few beloved followers (a.k.a. Mom) To cut or not to cut?
P.S. This is my 50th blog post. Weird, right?

herro. well I'll tell you what's what- the reason why your hair isn't growing has probs a lot to do with the fact that you play with it so dang much.
just an observation. but hey, do what you want. personally, i think it will look way cute if you cut it, but you will hate yourself for the next 2 years.
hahahaha- I miss you Emma Rose soooo funny!
I think you need to put your hair in to prospective. Just cut it already-...it will grow back. It will change during various hormonal stages of your life. Your hair is beauty full short or long. (however keelin is growing hers out maybe a little hair growing contest?) Just try to make it long enuf so they can make little wigs out it...
NOT TO 50!!!!
Do not cut. And geez, stop the trims. Then it will grow. Are you taking vitamins?
