After spending all summer whining about how my long hair was making me miserable in the heat, I finally got tired of talking and took action. First, I changed the color from light brown with blonde highlights to auburn, then I had my hairdresser cut about eight inches off the length and give me a new style. Throughout my youth, I had always lamented the fact that my hair was too coarse and curly to wear long (each attempt to grow it out left me with something that resembled a blonde afro) so it wasn’t until I was in my late 20′s/early 30′s that my hair settled down enough that long hair was even a possibility. While I was thrilled with the novelty of my long hair at first, I eventually grew tired of all the extra work involved in maintaining it and I ended up spending the last couple years just wearing it in a ponytail almost every day. Now that I’ve had the experience of having long hair, I’m very pleased to go back to a more manageable style. I feel like a new woman!
