Congratulations on "Crackin"!!!
I love your personal & hair story, and I hope the best for you and all of your future endeavors.
I felt a little more hope as I read your past year, b/c that is me NOW. I completely relate to your "Chop-Chop" experience, and the reasons for your chopping. This past year I would hit hip, chop, hit hip, just to repeat the cycle all over again this entire year- and this was my goal length
. It went from not being able to decide on my hemline, not liking the feeling of the dryer texture on my crown, wanting to catch up certain lengths with other lengths of my hair,ect., ect. I kept trimming only to feel like I needed professional help before I chopped myself back to SL.... I am at waist length with layers at the bottom, I am in love with the thickness and fall of my hair - but I miss the length
.
So, you have given me hope! I don't even know how to style my new hair cut (b/c it has not been this short in the front in years), so I have just been leaving it be. I am hoping to be over trimming my hair for perfection, and hope to have a happy ending as you this coming year!
Thank you for sharing your progress!!! You and your hair are beautiful!!!
