'fraid so. I know a lot of people won't like it and that's alright. I am so sick of the aggravation which is my hair. Any shorter than shoulder length and it's very awkward and silly/afro looking, but at a long length it is such a pain to take care of. I have come to dread washing it, even. So off it goes!
I have researched a lot and curly pixie haircuts are indeed doable. If I don't like it short then I'll just have to go through the awkward afro phase while it grows back out, but hey. I've been wanting to do this since I was 13. I think (almost) 14 years is a long enough wait!
