So I hadn’t cut my hair in about six years and it was most of the way down my back. It’s one of the hottest summers on record and I reached my limit. So I got @kath-ballantyne to attack me with scissors. She’s been my hairdresser since I was seventeen/eighteen.

Short. Really short. Shorter than I’ve ever had it. So comfortable. It dried in about a half an hour when I washed it, rather than, oh, eight hours. It’s short enough that it’s not tickling the back of my neck or my forehead, which are major sensory issues for me. And it should be easy enough to maintain. The ridiculously tiny amount of shampoo I need! Seriously, I was using a cupped palmful before, this time, it took like a ten-cent piece dab.

For now, it’s longer on top, but if I decide in a week that I want it shorter all over, we can do that.
