During my 3rd semester I promised myself not to cut my hair until I graduate (which is next year March), but my fingers are twitching so hard rn + my hair looks so ass. I wanna return to my roots & do scene hair
Also depending on the day, humidity, temperature etc my hair varies from 2A-3B. Now it's even worse since I let it grow out & my hair volume does some weird shapes. A friend said, that my hair is probably "too heavy" for curls now, so I might just chop it off? I feel like a sheep that needs to be sheared, but the last time I had my hair this long was 2012
Maybe I‘ll try to keep the length & just cut it into form, so it stops looking ass

Had the same issue. So I dyed my hair instead. Choose an epic color. Dye that shiet. BAM. Totally different texture and vibe. WHAM. New level of self admiration. Dye that shit.
They cut it later. Fuck it. Just ball.

rlly obsessed with these purple variations rn..huuuu, i might as well just go for it
DYE THAT SHIET FAM. ∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿
A little snip never hurt nobody. (▰˘◡˘▰)
I always get the itch when spring comes around. Just recently bleached the shit out of my hair and I'm tempted to go for a big chop too.
truuue! I feel you, I grew my bangs out & I‘m starting to miss them. Maybe cutting side bangs will cure the itch..
I could also try doing different hairstyles to get a dopamine kick (since my hair is finally long enough to do braids etc) and adding some stripes to the part of my hair that‘s not bleached yet
—> & when I graduate, I do scene hair as a „well done“ヾ(☆▽☆)
I vote stripes! It'll look so good! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
hell yeah, stripes it is then (❀ ▰˘◡˘▰)
What was the significance or reason behind that promise?
bad mental health and failing in Uni, so using hair as an „external commitment“ in order to commit to my studies and myself
Not sure what my exact thought process was, but it was something along the lines „how can I commit to uni, when I can‘t even commit to myself/hair“. idky, but I actually locked in afterwards. I‘m definitely doing better now mentally & I passed all my assignments last semester, so it feels like the overall situation has improved
I relate to that— I did that exact kinda thing for brushing. In my case, it wouldn't be a good idea to stop brushing now cuz it's a bare minimum hygiene thing lol
But in your case I think it really depends on how you feel about the commitment. Your past self needed this, and it's totally valid if your current self does not need it— but mental health can be tricky and really depends on how it feels to you.
If you'd like to respect your past self's commitment and keep the length, I would definitely support that though you could absolutely find more ways to style it! Because a promise to oneself means a lot, and if broken can dilute all the thoughts n feelings you associated with it
But if you're secure on those terms, I'd suggest a 50-50- slight trims here n there so that it looks more proper, but the length remains- at least to a level you initially might have set as a goal length for yourself
