Hair

For the last forty years I have had long hair; very long red hair. Last October I decided to get it cut. I have avoided it for years because I have very curly hair and the length makes it manageable. I was able to sit on it; it was that long. My natural hair colour was a dark auburn and over the years the grey has taken over.

I found a picture of a style I liked and armed with it went to the hairdresser. They all decided I should change the hair colour to suit the grey growth and added 25 foils also!! He didn't give me a chance to change my mind he just cut it off at my shoulders then proceeded to style it.

Anyway, I loved it and so did everyone else. Since then I have gone back to have it recoloured and cut at least 8 times - funny how you never go to a hairdresser and now I am there all the time!


The other thing is each time I get a different cut and style. At the moment it is pretty short and very spikey. The first cut was shaved into my neck and a mass of curls on top. I just love the fact I can have a new style every couple of months.

I know my mother would be pleased - she always wanted me to get my hair cut - she felt it was too long.

I still love long hair and I do miss not having it but I feel younger with it short and all my family likes it and that's all that matters.
