After the chop. After I washed. I couldn't stand it anymore and impulsively chopped off all my hair. I decided on Wednesday of last week that my very long hair was too much for me right now. It was always piled on top of my head because it was too heavy and too much to deal with. It took a long time to wash and condition, and forever to dry. I put off washing as long as possible because it was exhausting. Besides that, I was already seeing some hair loss every time I brushed and washed, which was frustrating. So, it had to go. I had already pinned some cute shorter shag haircuts. I knew that hair loss was going to happen eventually but wasn't forever. I wanted something that could help hide the uneven growth as it grew back in. I did not have a regular stylist though, and that's where my problems began. My stylist had closed up shop and wasn't taking clients so I'd been letting it grow for over a year. I definitely should have taken care of that before I needed it...
