At least half of the conversations I've started here have been about my hair. I've had major hair angst for a couple years, at least. Not about the grey, but about how short to keep it and how much effort I "should" be putting into styling it. Today, after one of the worst hair weeks I've had in ages, I had it cut short again. It's much shorter on the sides than it's been for more than a year, and it took me about three minutes to style it after I worked out this afternoon. Blow it all over, use some styling goop, and run my fingers through it. I think that, like anticipatory grief for my daughter who is probably going to be settling permanently in the Midwest, I have been coming to terms with and letting go my younger self who could have carried off longer hair. Photo #1 is a few weeks ago, when I'd already had the back trimmed tighter, #2 is now.
