india.arie has a song called “i am not my hair” … this is the chorus:
I am not my hair
I am not this skin
I am not your expectations no no
I am not my hair
I am not this skin
I am a soul that lives within.
ok yeah that’s great and all but, i kinda am my hair. it’s a way i express myself. and i get bored easily.
so i’d like your input on what to do this Saturday. (vote below.) i’ve been growing it out for a few months and i’m really stuck. like my son, i have a high hairline which is receding a bit. (just a bit!!) and these bangs just aren’t working.
current
Longish (that awkward in-between phase)
MID-length-ish
short sides / med top
pretty short all over
probably the shortest of 2010
short sides, med bangs
the mid-70s slick-back
the early 80s "pre-Caesar"
the mid-80s part down the middle
"The Ellen" (2005)
(those last 4 hot styles were just thrown in for perspective…so you can see from whence I came.)
Note: Robert’s vote counts twice and I have the right to disregard the results of this poll.
uhm... 
you know me…………..i am my hair also. so i’m weighing in. i like the short sides medium to longish top. that cut is you. that is all.
ahhhhh my sister!
i knew you’d understand!
short sides medium top, definitely… you can do so much
with that – up or messy… all good stuff. I’m currently just
growing mine… If I can’t pull it up, I’m not happy. I rarely wear
it down, but I like messy updos, whether intentionally messy or
just knotted up for a day working in the yard… so, mine will
probably hit my butt before I start trying to figure out if I want
to do anything else with it… oh yeah, and I quit coloring it
too…. OMG gasp! Julie doing something a’natch! when did that
start ? LOL!
I’m not gonna give up the bottle any time soon….
What am I doing here?????
LOL!!! you were supposed to be able to vote on my poll but i closed it since i’ve already got my hair did. 🙂
Shave it all off…….
ok there’s one vote to delete… hahaha
