I realized yesterday why I have short hair. Not having had a haircut since February, (because I canceled my March appointment which was the very beginning of the pandemic) my hair has gotten pretty long! It’s really uncomfortable having hair on my neck and shoulders and I don’t like it. A couple weeks ago, I was finally able to put it back into a ponytail.
I put my hair up in a haphazard ponytail when I was half awake yesterday. By the time my Mom and I finished our routine, I combed my hair and could not raise my arms to put a new ponytail in my hair. I looked at my Mom and gingerly asked her if she could put my hair in a ponytail for me.
She hasn’t done that for me for almost 30 years! So, she combed my hair and gathered it up to make a ponytail. As she combed my hair, I was taken back to being a little girl. Then she asked me, “Do you want a high pony or low pony?” I laughed because she used to ask me that when I was a child. I always picked a, “High pony” when I was young but yesterday, I told her, “Low pony” because I am a woman now.
Today was the same thing because #MSsucks and she gave me another, “Low pony.”
Lol, this was refreshing. I also feel the same way about tall hair. My best friend is really good at hairdressing so she’s been my stylist for 3 years (well more like I’m her guinea pig 😂) and I let her cut it short once. I loved it so much that I couldn’t go back to tall hair. As it starts growing, back to her it is!
