I decided to let my hair grow long again. I've had it short for a year now and I miss that nice hair at the back of my neck. Also, last spring, I couldn't wear my Tigers' baseball cap because it looked silly with my hair do. Next spring, I hope to have it long enough so I can do a ponytail and put it through the hole in the back of the cap. Love it.
I truly appreciate all of the kind comments about my short hair. I agree that it looked neat and cute most of the time. It was very easy. But I can never have short hair for very long. I'm sort of a Rapunzel kind of girl. I always wanted long hair when I was younger and my mom liked it in a shorter style, (except for my 4th grade ponytail year, one of the best years of my like but that's a different story.)
I'm thinking I may have a bit of a Samson complex, too. For some reason, I feel better, more myself with a little longer hair. Not stronger, just better. I realize that even though I can make the do nice on Sundays and special occasions with the curling iron, straightener, or both, most days, it won't look as good as it did a few months ago, before this growing out mess I have right now. I can live with that. When it is a bit longer, say just at shoulder length, and it looks nice, I feel great. I feel like I can lick the world. Silly, it's just hair. And one thing is certain, if, after I grow it out and I hate it, or it drags me down, I can always cut it the way it was this year and hope it looks cute again. It looks like a win-win situation.
I'm wondering, do you go around and around with the short hair, long hair thing? Or do you stick with one signature style?
I stick with my long hair. I had short hair my whole life, and on many occasions was mistaken for a boy. Long hair for me is easy and wonderful! Have fun growing yours out!
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy -
ReplyDeleteI prefer myself with short hair. It's easier than dealing with tangles and looks better on me.
Have fun going back to long hair.

As the deer pants for the water is one of my favorite songs, too!
ReplyDeleteShort hair seems to work best for me...I wear the "wild and crazy" look...lol!

My husband wants me to grow mine out. Everyone else likes it short..... what to do??? :O)
ReplyDeleteI have gone round and round. Right now, I am letting it grow out because when I had it cut this summer, she also thinned it. She mis-understood that I just wanted layers because of the weight. Now I am just waiting for it to all catch up before I can get it styled and it is a mess.
ReplyDeleteThis is an ongoing issue with me. I let it grow long. Then I cut it off. I think I look better with shorter hair, but the longer hair is easier in a pinch. I can put it back in a ponytail if I don't have time to fix it. You are beautiful either way, Nancy! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's usually long, but sometimes I get this urge to cut it shorter and then end up growing it out. My mom liked me to have short hair when I was younger, so I think that is why having it longer now is so nice:)
ReplyDeleteI too let my hair grow out in the last few years and I love it! People say that when you are 'older' you can't pull off long hair, but at 48, I love the long hair! It's so easy!
ReplyDeleteI loved these comments. Thanks so much.
