Hair - a sensory nightmare

Autumn_Trees
over 1 year ago

I'm a 35 yr old female with long, wavy hair. 

I keep it tied up 100% of the time, day and night and really struggle to get around to washing it (actually, washing is a whole nightmare, but I won't go into that here). 

I don't like it dangling about in my face or being caught up in clothes, I hate it getting in the way while I sleep. Do we think I should just chop it all off? 

Do any other ladies or others with long hair know how I feel? It is sort of part of my identity, I've always had long hair and have gotten lots of compliments on it, but maybe it is time for radical change? 

Thanks for reading :)

    One of my friends has had a short pixie cut for years, she absolutely can’t stand her hair touching her face or neck. Sometimes I think about cutting my hair really short but whenever I’ve gone long bob or shoulder length before I’ve always wanted it long again straight away so I’m not sure it would be a good idea for me! I think maybe like you I use it as a bit of identity, I think I’d look like my brother if I cut it really short so want to have something feminine about myself as I rarely were make up. It does get on my nerves sometimes but doesn’t cause me major sensory issues. If I’d got furloughed during covid I would’ve done a buzzcut and then hide away if I didn’t like it, but I still had to work full time
