Hey guys,
Well it's been about 2 weeks and I STILL want to cut my hair, everyday. Don't worry though--I'm going with the 1 month rule, not 2 weeks. =)
It's weird though--because I love my hair! But now, it's bothering me at the same time. For one, it's harder to take care of because of the length, and the ends tangle up ALOT. I'm thinking about taking an inch off this week (haven't had a trim since december 05), hoping that it'll help with the tangles because they mostly seem to occur at the ends.
There's more to it though. In late 2003, just as my hair was going through the awkward stage, I started to get a really bad skin condition. It cleared up in summer 04, after being on alot of meds for awhile. By late 04, I considered my hair "long", since it was shoulder length or longer.
Well now that condition is coming back, and since it's all on my chest and back, my hair REALLY bothers it! Or so it seems. Does any else have a similar experience? I know you guys aren't dermatologists (at least I don't think any of you are.. lol), but it seems as though my hair isn't helping my skin at all, and that's the main reason I've been considering a cut for awhile now. What do you all think?
And if you're curious... my condition is called "acne conglobata". If you're brave, google it, but beware..
I hope to get some decent (non-blurry) pictures of my progress, too. Maybe an icon change. Thinking about getting my first braid, too!
Could you cut it up to the shoulders or something? That way it's not all whacked off in case you want it long again, but it's still longish.
If you do cut it, don't worry about it. Hair grows back, it's really not that big of a deal. :) Good luck
I took a deep breath and googled Your condition. And i am glad i did hold that breath!!:) If what you have is anything like what i saw, i would do what you have to help get rid of that condition. Im not one to cut my hair on a whim, but if i had that and there was a hint of it helping, I would lose the hair. But i would ask your dermatologist first.
Hope everything turns out all right, hair or no hair.
peace

I´m eating breakfast atm so I think I´ll just leave google be. ;)
Anyways, how bad is it? Isn´t there anything else you can do than cuting your hair?
