I thought i could never do a really short "do" but i have. For 99% of my life, my hair has been soooo long (down to my bum). I would only ever get a trim. I always had it plaited, in a pony tail at the back or up in a bun. I also have very, very thick hair. It was sooo heavy and hot.
November 2007, i decided that was it. DH was complaining that he was finding strands of hair everywhere. I went to a new hairdresser and told them to cut it off. Just cut it off. They cut it into a messy bob style and i had highlights in my hair (my previous avatar style) and i loved it. It was sooo easy to take care of it etc.. In July 2008, I wanted a different style, something shorter than the bob. I had a picture of what i wanted and showed the new hairdresser (another one). She cut it SO NOT the photo i had taken in. My hair was shorter than my DHs. I was freaking out. I hated it. I looked like a boy. DH, my DS and mum and dad all ridiculed me.
June 2009, i still have the same haircut. I love it. I tell my hairdresser, (who i love) to cut it as short as she can! The hair on my new avvy is long for what i have!
If you want to go drastic, take it slowly. It's great to be a new you and with an upcoming birthday what a fantastic opportunity.
