New Hair

So....I spent an afternoon this week at 'Spa Abernethy'.....I've taken to coloring and trimming my hair myself due to budget restraints....

I used a box color from the drugstore to deal with the roots, and it didn't turn out exactly as I had wished....it's a little brassy, but it's not my whole head, so that's good. I also used real hair cutting scissors to give myself a little trim, just to get the dead ends off. I've noticed I have an abundance of them, and it was just driving me NUTS. I'm also scared to go into a salon here and have to describe what I want with my hair auf Deutsch. I'm already super sensitive enough as it is.

So, as I was trimming away, I accidentally cut a strand in the back that was quite a bit longer than I intended....about 4 inches or so. When I took a look and examined the lock, I realized that it was ENTIRELY DEAD. Meaning that...the bottom FOUR INCHES of my hair is ENTIREY DEAD. And the only way to fix it is to CUT IT OFF.

I have been persevering for YEARS now trying to grow my hair out long. and it has all been in vain. For now, I will have to cut it short again to keep it healthy....waaaaaaahhhhhh....

The last time I cut off my beautiful locks, at 15 years old, to attempt to have a cute, short hairstyle...I looked like a mushroom head, cried for one week straight, and then my boyfriend at the time broke up with me. Kai has already expressed his disinterest in me cutting my hair off....and I KNOW this is shallow, but I don't blame him. I DONT WANT SHORT HAIR. I love my length. But, I know, if I do nothing, it will only get worse. So now I'm in the market for finding a cute, shorter hairstyle that can be very versatile and practical.

Sigh.
