I just did something STUPID

I cut off all my hair. I am so damn frustrated with the amount of hair that falls out in the shower, clogs the drain, covers my body, fills my brush... I feel like Im caught in web of hair after I come out the shower! It's disgusting! I'm so sick of it! I made a ponytail and cut it all off. It took 4 years to grow it to that length and now in one moment of complete frustration it's GONE. The worse part is that I am supposed to have my fall coming in in the next few weeks and now I'm not going to have the right length hair to match it. I'm so frustrated right now I could scream!

I'm just so upset:(

I wish I could give you a hug! I'm so sorry you have to go through this. It's okay to be very angry and frustrated, just hang in there and don't lose hope.

Thank you for your support. Honestly, it was liberating not to have hair all over me in the shower for the first time in so long. It doesn't look great but it FEELS so much better... I'm just upset that my fall wont match now:( I guess I can always cut it, but it's such a waste. I'm just tired of having to put so much effort into my hair.

So, do something smart for yourself and get that hair styled until it grows, and in the meantime, get a second full wig to cover. There are sales online. You can always dye hair to match the fall later if it is not a perfect match. Did you donate the ponytail to Locks of Love?

I know how you feel about the hair everywhere. It made me sick to my stomach. Now, I keep my hair in a buzz cut or shaved so no more hair everywhere. I'm sorry, but you took a big step! You could either have the fall cut to match your hair. Or, like Tallgirl mentioned, get a full wig. I wear full wigs, and I love them.

You know, the more time goes by the better I feel about it. I've taken 4 showers since that day and it's VERY liberating not to have hair all over me ALL THE TIME. It doesn't look as good, but I think the reason I felt so attached to the longer hair is because it was MINE. I think I also associate it with my youth, when I had beautiful long hair (and lots of it). The truth is that the hair I cut a few days ago wasn't so nice. Someone here asked if I donated it. Ha! I don't think they could use it. But I do feel much better that I am not spending as much time with my hair. I feel free.
