I know that some of my readers are waiting to see what I am doing with my hair (and one chicken shit is waiting for me to cut it off so she can see how it looks on her) and the decision has been made.
Monday at 10:15am here in HickVille City there will be a apprehensive Mom at a Salon/Spa waiting to CUT HER HAIR OFF. Also? Having a fancy hot stone pedicure because a girl needs to soften the blow of cutting off 7 inches of hair.
The results were as follows:
Option 2 (bob it with short bangs) 10 votes
Option 1 (leave it longer) 8 votes
Option 4 (cut it all off) 8 votes
Option 3 (bob it with long bangs) 7 votes
Option 2 was the Clear Winner of this contest. Now looking at the results you would think it was a close race between Options #2, #1, #4 BUT on further examination Stewart admitted to voting for Option#1 (typical man liking long hair) and ………ummmmm….. so did I. I am such a pussy. I know! Bad me trying to skew the results. So really longer hair only got 6 valid votes. That brings it down to Options #2 and #4, cutting it all off seems like a little too much maintenence for me right now and bangs scare me since I finally grew the damn things out AND I hate having anything on my forehead when I sleep (and hairbands fall off my shrunken head so they don’t work at nighttime).
So clearly the winner is option #3 – bob it off with long bangs (that I can pull back on lazy days) which was actually the losing option.
What I really am going to do I go into the salon where I have booked a Master Stylist for an hour and have them help me decide if taking the plunge to bangs is worth it. In my mind I think keeping the bangs long is better – since if I don’t like them long I can easily cut them off. Whereas growing the buggers back out will just cause 5 months of bitching and misery by yours truly. And then you got to read about it. Lucky you.
The funny thing is I am looking forward to the haircut. Usually when I chop it off it is impulsive – but this time since I had to wait for an appointment and get the votes from you guys I feel well prepared and excited.
Stay tuned for pictures (which will be taken AFTER I dye the grey out of my hair).
OOOO I can’t wait to see. Whenever I get my hair cut I immediately regret my decision but then like two days later I love it! It’s hard shit being a woman! What with the growing humans and having hair and what not.
Hey now! I resemble that remark!
Mentioned to my husband about the haircut thing, and he immediately went into full-on freak out mode – “You aren’t going to cut it short, are you?” What is UP with them and long hair? I will STILL look like a woman with short hair and smaller boobs. In fact, I will probably be happier and carefree with all that extra weight gone! Duh!
I love your rationalization! I hope the cut went well!
I am much happier with the shorter hair, and Stewart isn’t too distressed over it either.
Wendy, I say CUT IT and he will deal with it anyways .
Ooh, I can’t wait! I have my appt booked for next week. I’m also tempted to lob it off, but of course my husband likes it long as well. Typical. What’s their fascination with the long hair?
I’ll be checking back for the pics!
All I can say as a man who LOVES my wife’s long hair is that her keeping it long makes me feel special and important to her. It’s just beautiful, and no chop or crop comes even close to its sensuality. I wouldn’t mind a change if it lasted weeks or months, but it would be several YEARS before it could grow back. A cut would be heartbreaking, honestly.
Why? It’s stunning, sensuous, soft and VERY feminine!
