The problem is, curly hair is the most bittersweet thing. It’s a blessing, as one of my customers told me today, “Your hair is gorgeous. Natural, I bet. God bless it.” On many occasions I’ve had strangers approach me in public, ask to touch it, and stroke it before I can give them a yes or no answer (I would probably say “no”…because it’s usually STRANGE!) And of course there’s the classic “Is that natural?” always followed by, “My daughter/niece/best friend’s sister has curly hair…” (to which I never know how to respond). What’s un-cool about curly hair is you shed. A LOT. I can’t escape it. Other people get to enjoy/stroke it, but I have to carry this hot mess on my head all day, every day—and it’s a hot, hairy and highly frizzified mess.

You have a good face / body type for short hair…I think you could wear a short cut really well. Find solace in knowing you'll be cute either way!

HeY gurl…
DO NOT i repeat DO NOT chop your hair off!! it is so AWESOME!!!
Jenny. You're too cute for it to matter.
hmmmmm, i say cut it IF ONLY because you've been thinking about it so long and clearly want to know how it will look (which will be GOOD, we all know).
more importantly, you will look marvelous either way. your hair is characteristically great already.

Aw, Javen's comment was so sweet. If I didn't agree with him it would have made me jealous. 🙂 I adore you!
