le 12 novembre I knew when I originally decided to experiment with my hair that there would be awkward stages. I think this is it.
After cutting my hair almost eight weeks ago now to the length of my brother’s, my hair about resembles the Beatles’ ‘do in all its glory. If I don’t sweep my hair behind my ears, at least. It’s too short for a ponytail or even half-ponytail, not long enough to braid even the bangs, and when I pin back just my bangs the back (not long enough to be weighed down), the rest of my hair remains poofy and I can’t leave the house in such a way. Thank goodness for my headband, that’s all I can say.
I’m also relieved that I’m the only person here who A) is white, so maybe no one realizes how awkward my hair is getting, and B) knows what a mullet is and just how terrible it is to have one. Truthfully, I guess I really don’t have a mullet, but if you’ve ever tried to grow out your hair, you know how self-conscious you can be! This is all a part of the experiment, though, and I’m curious to see just what stage comes next!
I'd be lying if I didn't say I wondered how you were going to maintain that darling (hmmm - sounds like something gram or one of her sisters would say!!) hair cut. But, on you, I would imagine any stage of the growing out process will be flattering - nothing a headband (as you said) or a few little barrettes can't fix!! Keep on writing - I love reading your story....
ReplyDeletehaha you're in the perfect place to have wacky hair cuz no one will notice! They'll probably just compliment you all the more that your hair is getting nice and long :)
