I cut it. I cut it short.
I don't like it at all. I can't remember the last time I actually did NOT like a haircut, because most cuts look alright on me, and I always like trying new styles. But I don't like this one, I don't like it at all, and I am feeling very sorry for myself.
I am so sad about this that, even though I know hair is a totally trivial thing and that my looks are not encompassed in something so slight, I cried about it. I got off the bus from down town, walked home, started making myself lunch, and cried.
Why? Why cut it??! I liked it long!! Even as I walked to the salon, I was wearing my hair down and I felt so pretty and confident, and I was walking with long strides and feeling happy.
And I walked out like a bedraggled pitiful muffin lump.
Why cut it?? WHY?? AND, if anything, it makes me look YOUNGER. Like-- SH*%!!!
I am so sad about this.
I was going to post a before and after picture. This is the before:
My "after" was going to be confidently grinning, looking oh-so-pleased with myself. BUT I AM NOT POSTING AN AFTER, because I just look at the "Before," and I think, "It was so bodacious! It was so tossable! It was so... much... PRETTIER!" If I posted an after, then everyone would just think, "Whoops. Well, yup. Makeover gone awry. Poor girl."
ALSO: my hair grows really, effing slow. Eight months of "the awkward stage" to look forward to.
Good news: it looks alright under my favorite hat. So. You know. I'll just wear that til Easter.
Okay: Greta: get yourself realistic now. Hair is not a big deal. You can get yourself more hats. YOU ARE NOT DEFINED BY YOUR LOOKS AND THEY ARE NOT WHAT GIVES YOU YOUR WORTH. You can get over this. You can grow it out again. You need to stop being vain.
But.
Daaaaammnnn.... :(

You HAVE TO SHOW US!
You know I'm imagining it so much worse than it really is...
I'm sorry!
I cut my hair a few weeks ago and hated it too... :(
hi greta, i am not even sure how i started reading your blog (through annie p, but i don't know how i started reading hers, either?), but i just had to comment and commiserate. i just went through the SAME thing a week ago. i got all excited about a to-cut-or-not-to-cut debate facing a new transition (my third year of college), decided to cut, and came home afterward and cried. it was that ugly. your first two paragraphs describe how i felt exactly. i had someone fix mine a little, but i feel your pain!!!
on the plus side: even though i still feel pretty meh about my hair (the "fixed" version), i've had a ton of compliments, so i guess it's partly in the eye of the (overly critical) beholder.
in any case, i'll be dancing my "grow, hair, grow" dance for you too, now. :)
