to cut or not to cut, that is the question.

I'm indecisive. (Read: extremely indecisive.) I have enough trouble deciding whether to eat mashed potatoes with a spoon or a fork. Life altering decision, right? I'm a flip flopper and often make a decision and soon after, change my mind. Please tell me there are doctors and scientists working on a cure for this detrimental condition...

The decision to cut my hair or leave it long is one that plagues me constantly (yes, it's that serious folks). When my hair is long, I want it short. When my hair is short, I want it long. That is typically how it goes. I'm currently in the "I want short hair" phase however, yesterday I spotted a picture of my celebrity doppelganger Carrie Underwood (a woman once approached me in the grocery store told me she had to look twice... no lie... biggest. compliment. ever.) and her lovely, long and flowy, messy curly locks and changed my tune.




But then, today, I read through some of my favorite blogs and spotted the cutest short do I've seen in a while and I want! Check it out here: http://www.mannland5.com/. Sooo adorbs!

I know hair grows back so it's no biggie... I'm just the most indecisive person you'll ever meet. I also feel like I'm off schedule. While most girls seem to chop just before summer, I chop in the middle of winter. Don't know why... just seems to happen that way and then I'm jealous of all of the other girls with their long locks providing warmth for their neck while mine is bare and sporting goosebumps.

The other aspect to all of this is that I've never really liked any haircut I've gotten. I've been to many stylists, some who have charged me an arm and a leg and friends who have done it for free, and have been less than thrilled each time. I'm also getting a little fed up with the lines I hear from all of the stylists when I bring a picture in of what I'd like my hair to look like. "You have a different texture to your hair." "Your hair is too thick for that style." Etc., etc., etc. There has got to be one hairstyle in the entire world that I like, that is possible on me.

Here's a picture of my current do, or lack there of, (straightened today, and most days because I don't know what else to do with it), with a few layers. I'm just not feeling it... I want glitz, glam, spunk and sass! I want the wow factor!

(this is not wow)

Any suggestions? It's (sort of) spring.... so should I chop or keep growing out? Does anyone know how to get that beachy wave look? Maybe if I could figure out how to do something else with my hair how it is, I'd stress less about whether to cut it or not. Sigh... such big decisions a girl has to make.

P.S. Has anyone else been secretly counting down the days to the Grey's Anatomy Musical episode like I have?!?!?!

  1. That hairstyle would look adorable on you! I think you could pull off a shorter do or keep your length.
