One of the reasons I wanted to cut my hair was because it started to get too heavy, too thick, and too long. I found myself never having the time to do anything nice with it! I was either leaving is down and natural (which I didn't like but dealt with) or either shoved it up for work, but because of my hair being thick, it wouldn't stay up as well as i'd like it too and I was forever buying hairbands because they wouldn't fit my hair! As much as I love long hair and love how it looked when I actually put time and effort into it, I was just not doing it enough. I needed a hairstyle that was easy to maintain and something I didn't have to worry about too much. I went from loving the length of my hair, to appreciating the spontaneity of chopping it off. I think there is something so exceptionally admirable about someone's commitment to allowing their face to shine without tons of hair to block it. For me it's all about the power of sharing the ability of having long hair and donating it to someone who needs it and will appreciate it.
Once I had booked the hair appointment, it felt very real. I knew that once it was booked, I couldn't chicken out and say I don't want it done. At the hairdressers I got a little bit nervous as they started dividing and plaiting my hair. I got even more scared seeing that they weren't even going to use scissors! They used a shaver! BUT once the first plait was gone, there was no going back! My head immediately felt lighter. Not smaller, but lighter. 12 inches was obviously very heavy! A hair wash, and some snipping later, I had a new look, which I think I like. I'm not 100% on it just yet, but I think that's mainly because of the dramatic change!
I also decided to fundraise for it too, so if you would like to help out then please feel free. I will be taking online donations till the 10th February 2016! Anything would be great even if it's a pound. (You can donate anonymously too) If so follow this link to donate, it's quick and easy to do and will be much appreciated:
