Well the title says it all. A month ago I was putting my hair into mini twists and as I was going strand by strand I noticed my ends felt rough. Not even thinking to hard about it, I picked up my scissor and cut every twist as I did it until it felt blunt and smooth. I just took my hair down today and it is noticeably uneven. I don't mean like I put layers in uneven, I mean like one side is longer than the the other in the back and front. There is about a 1/2 inch difference between the front comparing both sides and 1/2 inch to an 1inch difference in both sides in the back. Now ever since I was a little girl my hair has been way longer in the front then in the back. The back of my hair is a bit past bra strap length and the front shortest is collar bone and the longest is 1/2 in to an 1 inch past that. Like it is now, unless it is in a braid out it will be very noticeable.
Now I know your going to suggest getting a cut to even it all out but here is the thing. I am broke, like broke broke. I am in college and determined not to take out any loans during my 5 year stint and so far so good. I work 2 jobs and 80% of it goes towards my tuition. I cannot afford it right now. I am currently on month 2 of a 6 month crown and glory protective styling challenge meaning im keeping my hair in braids for 6 months redoing them every month.
When I took my hair down today I was just so upset at how uneven my hair is now. I had to take deep breaths and remind myself it was just hair and it would grow back. It was going to be out of sight for the next 5 months so I wont have to worry about it for a while. Still though... I needed a minute. Has this happened to any of you before? What have you done about it? Any suggestions?
