Haircut coming soon!

I've been using an old icon for years. My hair has grown out, been cut off, and grown out again. Today's icon is completely fresh, but by tomorrow it will be obsolete, since tomorrow the hair gets the axe.

This will be the sixth time I've donated my hair. I don't grow it to donate it; I grow it because I like having long hair. I donate the hair when I want to have short hair again. It grows pretty fast, so when I get tired of having short hair, I can grow it out again.

I'm looking forward to the ease of short hair.

this is how to tell the two of us apart: for me short hair is about 80 times more difficult to deal with than long hair. also it grows very slowly. enjoy your haircut, though!

It's the length of time long hair takes to dry that's my sticking point. When my hair is short -- particularly when it's as short as it's going to be later today -- it dries very quickly. I'm currently walking between four and six miles a day, and working toward walking seven to ten miles a day. Waist-length hair is just impractical with this much sweat.
