The Long and The Short of It

Having just had my very long hair cut off to become very short, I'm absolutely loving the following new freedoms...

1. No more de-tangling, blow-drying (there's an extra 40 mins a day), styling, flicking, swinging and re-doing my hair.

2. Being able to swim anywhere anytime without worrying that I will ruin my recently ghd-straightened mane. I might shower more often now too. My hair is dry in five.

3. My baby can't pull it out in large clumps.

4. I can rediscover things like earrings, make-up and eyebrows, because all I have now is my face.

5. Sleeping better- you can actually feel the pillow on your head, without the sore bump of a pony-tail or hair strewn all over the place.

I've also lost a half a kilo without exercise or diet- this haircut has given me wings.
