Just got y long hair cut too! I keot getting stuck when I would loose my balance and end up with my hands on my hair which prevented me from getting upright. My arms also wore out when drying/combingmy hair; this was really getting to my psyche. Went to new place and she was great!
Cut off @ 6" and it is now to bottom of my shoulder blades. Got it also to look a bit more grown up than just my old way of bangs. I am happy and it is proving easier to comb/dry/etc. Just having to learn how to make it look as good as when she did it
Did you ever get that weird look from neuro when you tried to explain you got tired trying to do your hair? Must be guy vs girls with long hair thing!
