Hey everyone!
Today i want to document my hair journey! I don't often venture off when it comes to my hair, but i want to write about a dramatic change i made not long ago!
I had really long hair (down past my butt), I went to the hairdressers, she put it in a low pony and chopped it!
I have always been interested in hair and makeup and I have previously studied a Hairdressing course, but i was never able to finish it. I loved it though! I never wanted to be a hairdresser, but i wanted some knowledge so i would be able to do both hair and makeup for clients.
I have always had really long hair, and really only got the occasional trim. I learnt my lesson in high school, when i decided to cut it shorter. I hated it! Although i was probably being a little dramatic! (i cried when i got home, haha!). So ever since then it was just something i knew i would never do again.
Having long hair was so normal to me, and i would usually just put it up in a donut bun, and not a normal size bun, a large one lol! And by usually i mean, basically every day for years! I could put it up in the donut bun without looking in less than 2 minutes! That goes to show how often i did it! haha!
My obsession with shorter hair started quite a while ago, and i would see those with shoulder length hair and love how effortless it looked. That was what inspired me to finally chop my hair off! I would just think to myself 'its such a waste having such long hair and never doing anything with it'. I said this to myself for years, but never took the plunge!
One night i told my partner (once again haha) that i wanted to cut it short, he laughed and said 'okay, im sure you will'. He had heard me so it so much that he had just given up on the whole idea haha! The next day we ended up going shopping and he suggested we go to the hairdressers. My first thought was 'nah, i want to find a really good hairdressers (which may take a long time haha)'. But then i thought, okay, lets just take a look and see how i feel. One thing lead to another and we were then sitting on the seats waiting to be served. I could see myself and my donut bun in the mirror and i was having major second thoughts! haha!
It was finally my turn and i just went for it. She tied it in a low ponytail, and cut it!
I could instantly feel how much lighter my head was haha!
Now i didn't have to worry about it getting tangled, or me sitting and leaning on it when i sat down. No more hassles!
I love it short! I was worried i would regret it, but still, months later, i am loving it!
I will admit, i do miss my donut bun though! haha!
My favourite way to style my hair now, is either straightened and teased to add volume. Or curled messily for that effortless look!
If you have made it all the way to the end of my story, I hope this inspires you to take the plunge and do something you have been wanting to do!
Thank you for reading!
