I have freakishly short hair.
I’ve had short hair before, but never this short.
Before the stylist made the first cut, asked if I was sure. I was donating my hair, so it was separated into three ponytails, and right before she cut the first one off, she just wanted to confirm that I was sure I wanted to part with about thirteen inches of hair. I said yes, so she buzzed the first ponytail off. As soon as it was all the way off, I go “NO WAIT!!!”
It was funny.
Well, I thought it was funny.
I think she thought it was too. I followed it immediately with “just kidding.”
I waited til she had completely finished cutting so she wouldn’t jump and shave have my head. My friend reminded me that I probably shouldn’t scare the person with scissors to my head.
After she cut off all three ponytails, she said we should leave it like that, “the asymmetrical look.”
My sister, mom, friends and I frequently (and by frequently I actually every couple/few years) donate our hair to Locks of Love. It’s an organization that makes wigs primarily for kids with alopecia, but also for cancer patients. You have to have ten inches minimum to donate. Pantene has a program where you can give eight inches, but I don’t think you can have dyed hair, and my hair color changes as often as the health of it will allow, so that one wouldn’t work for me.
We had a friend growing up who has alopecia, so LoL hit’s a little closer to home, anyway.
I was bored, so I wanted to dye my hair again. Since my hair was long enough to donate if I went short, I figured I might as well donate before dying.
I’ve always wanted to try super short hair, I’ve never thought I can pull off super short hair, but I’ve always wanted to try it. It’s just hair, so I decided I’d try it, and if I hate it, it’ll grow back and I’ll never do it again.
So now that I have so little hair, I’m gonna blonde it and then blue it. Once the blue fades, I’m gonna red it.
I told you I was bored.
