Cutting my hair๐ญ๐ฉ
How do you feel after getting rid of something that has been part of you for a time that feels like forever? Am I the only one who feels the ache in my chest? I'm not talking of just a human being or a pet, I'm talking of cutting of your hair๐. Might sound funny but that's what I'm going through right now.

So I have carried my dread for almost 8 years and I cut it! I locked my hair as a birthday gift to myself in 2018 and I cut it this year.

The beginning stage and journey of my hair was not funny. Myself and the hair went through a lot, there were a lot of times I felt like just cutting it cause it was really stressing me but each time I think of the stress of plating (I hate sitting to make my hair) I give myself motivation to continue the journey and wIth time I grew to love it because it grew so wonderfully well and surprisingly really long.

From being so short to growing long to the extent where I could style it into whatever style I wanted. A lot of times I had received compliments about how long and fine my hair was and I always smiled and answered with pride. I was really feeling my hair shaaa. On few occasions, people even asked if I was interested in selling it and they were willing to buy but I really couldn't see myself cutting off my hair.
After graduation, I was beginning to joke with my friends about cutting my hair and looking for a buyer but each time I got someone, I gave them a price I knew they wouldn't agree to cause deep down I didn't want to cut it. A year after graduation, I was actually tired of the hair and without thinking twice, at about 4am in the early hours of Sunday morning I picked up my scissors and cut my hair(with tears in my eyes). It felt like a part of me was leaving me and I really felt pain. When everyone woke up and saw my hair the exclamation out of everyone's mouths was 'JESUS!' they were all shocked. I was laughing at their reactions but I was crying Inside my heart. Well I went to a salon and had a well shaped cut. I can't lie that I miss my dread everyday especially when I see dreads on people's hair but I can't deny the fact that I'm enjoying my new look and I'm enjoying the fresh air that my scalp gets๐

Oh gosh, you really cut them short. But it looks good in youuuuu. I never really give my hair the time to grow longer. I think the last time I had long hair was in college. After that I was often tempted to cut them, I do it mostly when i'm bored lol. Another thing is I want to save my hair because if its long I experienced hair loss that is so alarming.
Yhhh, I did. Thank you so muchhhh. Lol, cutting your hair cause of boredom is funny but I like(lol).hair loss can be alarming actually.
