While I know he would never stand in the way of my own personal style choices and this was just his silly way of saying he loved my long hair, I keep the thought in mind. If he really likes my hair long and I like it, it was worth it for me to keep it long and keep him happy.
That said, I am now 17 months into my transition to all natural silver locks. While my hair has gotten a bit shorter with each trim I still consider it long. (Just not as long as I thought he likes) I'm so close to the finish line. So easily "done" if I would only lop off those last few inches. But there it is in my head....I married you with long hair....
While I want the transition over (patience has never been my strong suit) I also want my long hair. I want it for my husband. I want it for me. I'm more comfortable with long hair. I know how to style my long hair. I don't know what to do with short. And, did I mention I want the transition over?
The other night, out of no where, my adorable husband says to me: "You look really cute with shorter hair. Its sophisticated. Very sexy. I like it."
Huh? What happened to burying me with long hair?
The psychological trick I was using to get me through my transition vanished!!! Knowing my husband loved my long hair gave me the patience to wait out the transition and now I felt dropped on my head!
What to do? What to do? Start 2013 out with a new, sassy short do?
Or hang in there for the long haul?
Stay tuned and see where I land....
