I'm So Freaking Indecisive!

A Boring Blog

Really, I don't have low self-confidence. I know many people who can't make up their minds don't think highly of themselves. I don't really think highly of myself either, but I'm happy with who I am. Of course, almost all of us have those few things that we would change about our physical appearance, and I'm no exception. I have long, blonde hair, but lately I've been thinking about dying it dark, dark brown. I think it would be awesome on me, especially with my dark blue eyes. So I call the local Salon and ask them if they can dye it almost black, under the condition that it will be a washout. The owner tells me that when blondes dye their hair darker it stays that way. So basically if I want dark hair, temporarily I would have to have it dyed back, which is something I'm not too thrilled about. Talk about damagem to already damaged hair. I usually don't care what people think, and I still don't, but my boyfriend was thrilled when I told him my plans to become a temporary burnette. Now really, I don't even care what he thinks... I mean, if he doesn't like me and who I am and what I'm about, that's no one's problem but his own. Yet still, that was another plus to dying my hair. Oh well, blonde am I and blonde will I remain.

So then my mom starts talking about cutting my hair and how great she'll make it look, but I'm a big coward. I'm fairly daring when it comes to other things; usually not too nervous when it comes to change, but there's something about my hair... maybe it's the fact that it took forever and a day to get my hair to my waist. But another problem is that I never even wear it down, I always pull it up, because it's so frizzy. So then I start thinking maybe I'll get a spiral perm. That'd be cool, and my hair wants to be curly but seems to need help, so maybe that's what I'll do. I'm a white girl, but cornrows would be cool, then I'd be accused of being a wigger, right? Then again, I don't care what people think either. I had my hair in braids at one point, but that was when I was younger. It stinking rocked. I didn't have to do anything for it, save wash it every other day, but now my hair is so thin on the ends that I don't think it'd work well. Plus, I don't have the time or energy to braid yard long hair. Or, maybe I should cut my hair a good couple inches and spiral curl it all over my head. That'd be pretty cute on me, I think... but it's not exactly "cute" that I'm trying to achieve. Maybe I should just dye my hair dark, permenently. Boys like dark hair anyway, right?

I think I should become a salon owner when I'm out of stupid high school. I have so many ideas of what to do, but right now, today, I'm too scared to do any of them on myself. If only hair grew an inch a day. That'd be the greatest thing! So, is that it, should I open a salon? Or would that take too much time away from my becoming a model (ha, a new recent idea I thought up!). I'm sure I'm sounding quite immature, not to mention boring, right now, so I will bore you no longer. I guess I either need to accept what God gave me or be brave enough to do something different.

Waist long hair is rarely attractive--but it is an accomplishment to let it grow that long. Get it cut to half way down your back, then get a spiral perm. Both of these options are temporary. Then in six months you can do something else. Let brunettes be brunette. Natural blonde hair doesn't dye very well. It will probably darken with age.

Get the best stylist you can and be prepared to pay a fortune. Get your picture taken when your perm looks great. It won't last long. Experimenting with your hair is fun, but find another hobby. Try reading.

Your last comment hit the nail on the head... no pain no gain. You have to have the courage to do what you want to do, and not accept everything. If you dont like it, its up to you to change it.

Thanks heaps for that other comment on my blog as well. It certainly does not go un-noticed.

:D

Men go nuts for long hair. It's so completely different from the boyish cuts of today.

NO!!!! DON'T DO IT! :(

I love long hair on girls... and it's so sad when they cut it. It's honestly almost painful.

YES!!! DO IT!!! Free yourself from the restaint of long hair! Short hair is the way to go!!

Sorry, Dan, I couldn't resist the temptation !

Seriously though , I have short hair and I love it.

The only advice I would give you is not to go red, or any variation of red, because you have naturally blonde hair. You'll end up prison uniform orange....

"NO!!!! DON'T DO IT! :( I love long hair on girls... and it's so sad when they cut it. It's honestly almost painful."

Dan, I'm so absolutely sorry. You came to my rescue too late! Friday was the day I cut off my hair that is soon going to locks of love. You can keep picturing me with long gorgeous hair, although it really wasn't. But if you want to be realistic I think I look cute with short, chin to shoulder length hair, and now it's super curly, like afro! ;)

Not that I style my hair to please anyone else, but you should see all these guys now. Seriously, before no one noticed me, and today I ran a few errands. I'll share my experience, just for the sake of it. I was walking through Fleet Farm (great store! if you're a hick ;)) talking about how I want to get a carhartt hoodie (for all you city slicks, it's a brand of jacket) and I thought they were on sale. I was saying this all to my mom, and about two seconds later this, I'm guessing college age, guy started going on about how sorry he was that he thought he took the last one, blah blah. I was like "cry me a river" but I didn't say that. Then, as I was buying my lunging whip for my horse there was a man and boy who looked to be about 14 or 15, and the dad says to the son, "Watch out, she's got a whip!" I'm like what the junk? Then, as I'm putting the cart away this guy's like "I'll take it" and preceeded to wheel it in the store.

--Just felt like sharing my stupid experience. The moral of the story is: girls with short hair get more attention! haha Sorry Dan, if I ever send you a picture, I'll be sure it's of when my hair was long!

I think all sorts of styles look great on women, but butch only looks good on a small percentage of girls (which is why it's depressing to see some girls with beautiful hair ruin it).
