Hi guys!
Long time no blog I know, third year of uni seems to be taking over my life and I just haven't had a spare minute to blog. That said, I have committed myself to six societies this year and I am absolutely loving what I'm studying, so I'm really knuckling down to get the best grade possible due to the inevitable prospect of applying for jobs and grad schemes soon.
So the other news is that I got a haircut. And I know that sounds so daft and like such a minuscule
aspect of our everyday lives, but to me it has meaning. I'd spent years growing my hair in an attempt to get it down to my waist, and no matter how dead, dry and over-dyed the ends were, I was terrified of getting it cut. My long hair felt like an achievement that I'd worked hard for, and cutting it would be like giving up on something I'd worked so very hard for.
But the fact of the matter is, the length of your hair is not a competition, and nobody actually cares how long it is. My hair was so unhealthy and my 3-year old ombré was becoming tiring. I felt like I'd outgrown my hairstyle, like it was too young for me and I felt so drowned and consumed by my hair, like I was hiding behind it and that firstly, you couldn't see my quirky clothes but also that I wasn't really myself. I was sick of it and always just shoved it up in a ponytail and out of the way. (Not to offend anyone with long hair by the way, if you love it then you work it!! I just didn't love my own anymore).
So I went for the chop. It's probably still considered 'long' but its much shorter than it was. I've had about 5 inches cut off and virtually all of the blonde bits are gone. It feels freeing, lighter and in such beautiful condition. Its a manageable length and I feel like I'm totally myself again.
Its the best thing I've done in a long time.

If you're considering going for the chop, I couldn't recommend it any more!
