My hair has been my symbol of grace and beauty, and I bet so does to everyone. I love my long hair and I take good care of it but as it grew longer, I suffered from the pain it gave me when it would accidentally be pulled or when I comb my hair.
When my hair was really long, I could not have the freedom to let it flow all the time because the wind would easily tangle them giving me a har
d time combing and when I tie them up, the weight of the hair would pull the strands on my scalp and as time pass by, it became uncomfortable.
Also, I got sick In September which caused my scalp to hurt even more with the weight of my hair and made me decide to chop it off a bit but I was letting it slide thinking I might not need it anymore when I get well.
I've never been to a hair dresser since I was 16 and o my hair myself with just a mirror and a pair of scissors in hand.
It was one Sunday morning when I thought it was a perfect time to do it and so I did after my son approved of my decision. He too, does not like my hair because it tickles him when he cuddles with me.
So into the mirror I went with a pair of scissors and chopped my hair on a shoulder length level. But as I went on and try to level my hair, I got a bit shorter than I was hoping for but I'm sure it would just grow long soon enough and I hope that by that time, I would be enjoying it.
I took the photo above few hours after cutting my hair and I still got a few more strands missed.
The husband was not at home when I did it and when he saw me, he was shocked and jokingly told me I look like a cat and I don't know what he really meant but it sure was funny.
So I digged out my gallery finding some selfies I took with my hair untied and I realized that there was only a few time I did it and I really did tie my hair oftentimes.
The evening came and the daughters were home, Laling saw me and envied me with my new hair style. She wanted the same and I told he to wait till morning so she could bathe after cutting them.
I even purposely cut her hair past her shoulder but asked to cut a little more and then she was satisfied when she can effortlessly flip her hair when she turn.
I took this photo a few weeks before cutting Laling's hair
And this is how we look side my side. We're twinning our hair! Except the bang, lol!
I convinced @eylii to cut her hair but she refused and said she like her hair long so I let her be.
I was amazed that the short hair hid some years away and I could say I looked fresher and younger than I actually was.
Cutting my hair also gave me a sense of new start and redirection which I needed most at this sickliest days of my life.
So that is how I chopped and said goodbye to my long hair. What about you, how often do you cut your hair? What makes you do it?
Life is a roller coaster of of happiness and disappointments but despite all that always have the source of happiness from the people and the things you love.
This will be all for today, thanks you so much for your never ending support.
