I chopped off a foot of my hair: text and four pictures.

Uh oh. I chopped off a foot of my hair.
After dealing with tangling and split ends and sitting on my hair, I finally took the plunge and cut off a significant amount—about eleven and a half inches, from bum-length to lower back. For me, that's about a year's growth, significant but not unrecoverable. Devon supported the idea and did the dirty work (as usual—he's been cutting my hair for a few years. It's a nerve-wracking business, and I wouldn't trust it to anyone else).

And I love it. My hair looks long but feels short, which is an ideal middle ground: luxurious, beautiful, but no longer a pain in the ass. It's easier to care for and tangles less; it looks fuller and the ends are healthier. I've been wearing it in a never-ending bun for months, but now I can leave it down. I'm head over heals in love with my own hair, and very happy that I made the cut.
