To Cut, or Not to Cut, That Is the Question

Every school year around this time I succumb to the blahs. I think the grey weather and the repetitive, unbroken routine of the second semester are to blame. Regardless, I always feel the need to shake things up a bit. Right now I am contemplating cutting my hair short…really, really short. A couple years ago, while in a similar mind-set, I got it all chopped off. I was so bored and annoyed with my below-waist hair that I had it cut to my chin (I donated the hair). Only recently has my hair grown long enough to wear in a braid. Although I love the versatility of longer hair, I covet the effortless chic of the pixie cut. I have been poring over images of Anne-Catherine Frey, Edie Sedgwick, Emma Watson and Audrey Hepburn for two weeks now as I decide what to do.

Should I just go for it? Or should I find a less dramatic cure for the monotony?

Please don’t do it!! I love you long hair that’s fabulously blonde!!! It’s so pretty… plus you can’t undo it!!!! You could try putting it in a fake bob? (bobby pin the ends under your hair) but please!!! If you go through with it, I feel like I won’t want to ever read the blog again, and I have many friends who beleive the same… You’re my idol!! Please don’t change a thing about yourself!!!

Wow! So many comments! Thanks for all the wonderful advice. It looks like I’ll be postponing the chop…at least for a little while. I am thinking about going super short for when my sport season starts back up. I’ll keep you all posted!
