Ok. So for oh about 20 years now I have always had my hair cut fairly short and I liked it that way because it was alot less messing around than having it longer. Back in May I looked at myself in the mirror and decided that I was sick to death of having short hair, I really felt like I needed a change. So I decided to let it grow, I didn't have a plan as such but I just knew that I wanted to let it grow for a good long time to see how it looked as I have never let it grow for more than 4 months before.
Anyway, as of the last couple of weeks my hair is now longer than it has ever been but it is begining to get on my nerves. It is at that stage now where it is starting to look a bit wild and there is very little I can do with it. When my hair gets this long it starts to go quite curly and can be a pain to style it into something that doesn't look daft. It is also getting a bit greasy and I am having to wash it more often than usual which is a pain as well, 20 years of short hair has made me very lazy.
I feel that I am at a crossroads now, do I carry on and wait till the new year to see how it looks or do I grab hold of my hair clippers and blitz it all off. I honestly can't decide at the moment, part of me wants to let it grow to a length where I might be able to do something with it but another part of me wants to go back to basics and have short hair with the low maintenance that goes with it.
So, I am looking for opinions, hell maybe even advice. Will I reach a point where my hair becomes easier to manage and less wild looking if let it grow for another 6 months? Or will it just get worse to the point where I will just lose my temper one day and shave it all off? I have always liked the idea of having medium length hair but I am not sure I can put up with this curly mop I am sporting at the moment!
