Earlier this year, in January, I had brain surgery.
When any part of you is operated on, of course, they shave that area so nothing gets inside the incision and in the case of long hair, so they can get to the place where they need to make an incision.
There are many things about surgery that are not pleasant, but for me, the shaving of the hair is the worst part.
I love my hair. I’m just thankful they only shave off what they need to and that it can usually easily be covered. If they shaved my entire head…well I don’t eve want to think about that.
My hair was down to around my lower back or a bit longer. The part that was shaved during surgery had grown out to my shoulders.
I hated having two lengths of hair. I would put it up my hair not even thinking about it. The majority of it would go into a pony tail or twist, but t hat piece that was shorter would always fall out.
I struggled with the decision to cut my hair. I love my long hair but I don’t like two different lengths. Should I really cut it?
Well I finally did. Lucky for me, my mom is excellent at cutting hair. No need to go to a beauty shop when she’s around. I told her how to do it, and she did it a few minutes later. I am glad it was quick and there was no time for me to change my mind.
Now my hair is all the same length and it’s very short. It was cut from a little past my lower back, up to right above my shoulders.
It’s very short now. It could be shorter, but this is short enough. It’s so short, it feels like part of me is gone. In the shower I go to wash my long hair and there is nothing there.
I want long hair again. There is so much to do with it. You can fix long hair in so many different ways. I know that eventually, it will grow out and I will have my long hair back. I just have to be patient until then and make do with what I have.
