Well...my goal for 2009 was to get through the year without any significant cuts and really make the effort to "grow out" my hair. I always imagined reaching that point where I have this head full of long naturally curly/kinky wild hair..and I still do!... but my patience is wearing thin in the now dealing with the current cut of my hair.
The stylist I visited the last two times, who happened not to be Dickey, cut my hair into a blunt cut. While I was ok with the change when it was first cut and it worked for me at the time with the shorter length, now that it's growing out...it's just not working for me! My hair is just so...so...BLAH!!!! BORING
Problems: No shape, lack of volume, no character. Styling my hair loose has been a failure lately, it just doesn't fall in place well or look good, so I resort to wearing my hair slicked back and pinned up.
I've been contemplating cutting again for a few months now just because I was missing the layering and personality my hair once had, but the urge has been getting stronger these past few weeks...
What I am considering:
A) Less drastic: Going for a cut that will leave me with some of my current length but have it shaped and get those layers back in...basically along the lines of the shape/cut I've gone with in the past. This would probably include having the front of my hair (which currently reaches chin length in it's natural state) cut to frame the face.
B) Go for an angled bob leaving the front longer and cutting the length towards the back (a little more dramatic than the appearance of an angled bob in my siggy Nov siggy pic). I've always wanted an angled bob where the front of my hair was the longest (tracing back to my relaxed days) and a goal of mine has always been to grow the front of my hair to the same length as or longer than the rest of my hair since it seemed to be the area that never would never catch up. Now that I've got some good length in the front, I almost don't want to let it go, hence considering this cut. Of course this shape looks great on straight sleek hair, but I invision a cut like this looking ok on my natural hair, however I will consult with the stylist (who will be Dickey once again) for an opinion.
I just can't take the boredom with my hair any longer! My hair reflects my personality...but these days my personality is reflecting my hair. I've tried to hold out...but I'm getting weak...My appointment is for next Wed...who knows what I'll decide between now and the time I get in that chair, I may just chicken out of doing anything major....but I just needed to vent since it seems like some of you ladies are riding the same boredom boat as me lol.

Thank God I am almost rid of them now. I don't think they were easy to grow out at all... if I get my hair even and find I don't like it, I swear I will BC again before cutting layers. 
(Okay exaggerating... but only a little... 
)
I'd love to see how that turns out on you if you go for it...
