snip snip or chop chop

Here I am today with a life changing decision before me. A decision far greater than whether to rebel against the British to make America and independent country. A decision of far more importance than the burning question of Pepsi v. Coke. A decision that could change life on this earth as we know. Well, I guess I am exaggerating a wee bit, but all in all, it is a big decision, for me. I need to decide whether or not to get layers put into my hair to help bring out the natural wave, or if I want to go balls to the wall and just chop it into a shorter, stylized bob. Short hair tends to be the "mom" style, but I think it will give a little more maturity to my look. I have to face facts, I look like one of those teen moms in the Lifetime made for tv movies. I need to update my style a bit and embrace my new, but still sexy, mom-ness. Though still undecided I am leaning towards the shorter cut. I am still hesitant though after a botched perm a few years back that left me with about an inch of hair to my name. After having my hair melted so badly that running my hands through my hair would leave a wad of it weaved between my fingers, you can see where my hesitancies lie. Than again though, my hair seems to long to the point that it is borderline trashy. I doubt others see in that light yet, but I am rather sick of it and I need an update. Plus, it will always grow back. My other big factor that is leaning me towards the short and sassy look is that I can put my hair to good use after it is chopped. I plan to send my hair to locks of love if I do indeed get it cut. This way I can provide some hair for a child that would be otherwise without due to medical reasons. I am fully capable of growing my hair back, but others are not so lucky. If I am capable of helping ease some of the insecurities and fears of losing one's hair, than I have succeeded not only in updating my look for a cute and summery one, but I can help a child. There are not many feelings that compare to helping another, especially if that another is a child.
