On hair. Styles, that is.

I am considering cutting my hair. And by that I mean "probably shorter than shoulder-length". Because, you know, I am a fat woman living in a hot and humid place so my hair is almost always piled onto the top of my head or pulled back in a stark ponytail. I've mostly kept it long because of inertia and wanting to avoid wearing a coif while doing Viking reenactment. But that makes for a multitude of "God, I'm hot" days just for a a handfull of "hey, this looks right" ones.

I've loved having long hair, and really love that it now reaches my waist when it is dry. But it is naturally wavy and I do miss the waves and the curls it had when it was shorter.

So I can't decide. One preventing a decision is not knowing a darned thing about short hair cuts. Each one I've had in the past has made me look like a Nazi war camp prison guard. No, I mean that. The big scary woman whose regard would make you freeze in your tracks. That has thrown me into re-growing the length as quickly as possible.

But I think that comes from ignorance. I don't look at beauty books or magazines. I rarely even notice "hairstyles" unless they are somehow outstanding. I believe I need to research it. I'm not sure how, though. Does one google "women's short wavy hair styles"?

In a continuation of my previous post

I have explored Google. And dredged up a memory of a haircut I did like...






I once had something like this. It was longer in the back but I remember that the only thing I disliked about it was attempting to braid it. I believe I have a winner.

It will be nice to do something that reaffirms being alive and enjoying living after the last few years of health-stress.
