Haircut Update- Note to my Future Self

Why is it when your hair is short it seems to grow so fast?  After about 4 weeks my new short hair cut was getting in my way and I had to start securing it back when I was at work.  I planned to get my hair trimmed but just procrastinated and could not get an appointment till about 12 weeks after the initial cut.  I went to a different salon and again showed my idea pictures to the stylist.  She added more layers to help my hair take advantage of the natural curl.  She diffused it to keep the curl and I was in love with the final result.  It only took about 2 days before I realized she did not thin the front of my hair and it was falling in my face, and I was back to clipping it out of the way with a barrette.  There are things I like about having short hair such as the ease of washing and how quick it can be styled but, I miss having options.  I also don’t think short hair suits me and my personality.  Hopefully I will read this again before I decide to cut my hair short again.  In case I do, Terri, do not cut your hair shorter than your shoulders, you will not be happy with it for long.  I purchased some thinning shears yesterday and this morning thinned out my hair in the front so I can stop using a barrette to keep my bangs from blinding me.  I am looking forward to seeing what I can do with my hair as it grows out. I don’t plan to let it grow past my waist again as that is just too much to care for. I am thankful that I was able to get the cut I wanted so that I could learn more about myself and what I actually like.  Sometimes I wondered if I just liked long hair because it was familiar but now I can say that I do like it better than short hair for me.  Tell me something about yourself that you learned from trying something different.
