Changing things up
Oct. 13th, 2011 10:46 amI'm thinking it might be time for a change - at least in terms of a haircut. I've worn my hair the same way for something like 15 years. And I think I'm getting a bit long in the tooth to carry off hip-length hair anyway.
Add to this a couple of aspects:
1. It's hard to do ANYTHING with your hair when it's so long you can't reach the ends. Curlers and even curling irons are just out. My hair is longer than my arms. And the ends are pretty rough - over processed and under-trimmed.
2. I'm sort of shedding the SCA in stages. And I really no longer need an SCA-compatible 'do. There is no good reason for maintaining the 14th Century Matron look.
3. I'm still lazy. I regularly walk out of the house with my hair wet. I don't even OWN a hairdryer. Or a curling iron. I am unlikely to pick out anything high-maintenance. AND I have about 5 cowlicks. So short styles are a no-go. I need the weight to pull out the "fight" I get from my own hair.
So, I'm not going drastic, but maybe middle-of-the-back. I think I can probably manage Victory Rolls or pin curls at that length on the rare occasions I might be going out.
Suggestions?
