Save Money, Save Water
My hair has been buggin me lately, so I've been meaning to set up an appointment with my friend/stylist for a haircut. The more I looked at magazines with pictures of guys with long hair, the less I wanted to keep my hair any sorts of long. Either they A) looked a mess B) had a different hair type than me, so I wouldn't be able to style it similar to them except with more effort I was willing to put in day in and day out. The longer I waited, the shorter I wanted to cut my hair, oddly enough. But I waited long enough that my desired style became too short to justify paying salon prices. So, snip snip, I did it myself. Here's the before & after:
Those were both today. The good part about shorter hair is the faster showers (save water & $) and quicker getting ready time. I usually am more motivated to go to the gym when I have shorter hair, too, because I don't have to worry about those long showers or my hair getting in my way when I'm working out/playing basketball. Fitted hats feel roomier with shorter hair, too. And I don't do that thing where you brush back the hair behind your ear or whatever. And if I'm grappling/fighting, they have to hair to pull on. Of course, it would hurt if they got a hold of my earrings... =\
A weird aside: I usually wind up cutting my hair short during winter. An odd habit, but this is around the time when I usually start getting sick of the long hair that I suffered through the hot summer with. Go figure. I just have to remember to always keep a beanie in my car, just in case.
