I Want To Cut Off My Natural Hair

URGH! Honestly, I've just had enough. Do you ever just have that feeling you just want to let something go? Like you're carrying around some kind of dead weight that should have disappeared a long time ago? Well, that's how I currently feel about my natural hair.

I have a lot of breakage. It may not seem so, and trust me I try my best to hide it, but when you have to touch your hair so often it gets frustrating. Plus long hair is straight up time-consuming. Not that I hate long hair, I've just never been at a stage where my hair is all the way healthy. I've either had to grow out my heat damaged hair, grow out my color damaged hair, or grow out my broken/uneven hair. Like can I just have hair that slays all the time?

My only solution to my woes is that I cut it. Just cut it all off. Well... maybe not all. No big chops for me because I have a funny shaped head - believe me it would never work. But I feel the need to re-learn my hair. I've spent so many years trying to "deal' with it or manage the bad spots that I neglect the healthy hair I do have. Which soon becomes damaged too. I mean any stylists or chemists out there let me know if there's some truth to this theory because it seems very likely. I honestly no longer know how long it takes my hair to grow because it just breaks off or I trim it before I have to the chance to really track its growth. My hair should be a waist length right about now but I find it's has been this length for 2 years.

So... if you ask me I'm ready - I'm so ready just call me Alicia Keys because I'm willing to take the plunge and just let it go. Right now I'm little past bra strap length. The cut I want is just enough to get rid of all the breakage and unevenness I have going on. Whether that takes me to shoulder length or collar bone length, I think I'm ready for that change. Especially if it means healthier hair.

Have you ever cut your hair to for these reasons? Was it for the best? Share your story.
