Dear Future Vickie (part two)
A few months ago I wrote a letter to my future self with regards to my hair- and lately I've been thinking about how much I have grown (pun intended) to like it now that it's a little longer... so I figured I'd remind myself of this stage of hair too.
Dear Future Vickie (who is thinking of chopping all of her hair off),
You're sick of your long hair again, eh? Thinking about cutting it all off and going for the super short hairdo again? Guess what- I have a better option. These days it's called the "Clavi-cut," but it used to be known as the "awkward middle stage that no one likes." Now, I'd love to say I'm just a trend setter and I cut my hair a year ago with the foresight to know that it would be perfectly on-trend this fall, while still giving myself the time to figure out how to style it, but let's be real- I don't plan quite that far in advance.
Remember all of those problems we talked about with really short hair? Most of those are gone with the clavicut. It's now long enough to wear curly, and you've even managed to master the 2nd-day-curling-iron-touch-up look that people think you spent hours on, but really only took a few minutes. Wearing your hair curly is now not only an option, but something you actually kind of prefer these days- even to work!
There are more options all around- you can wear it all up in a ponytail if you want, but you can also wear it straight, or part of it pinned up, or half-up/half-down. It's still too short for the single french-braid down the back, but the upside-down front part braid is a great way to make wet, straight-out-of-the-shower hair a little bit fancier.
All in all, it's a pretty great option if the main reason you want to cut your hair off is because you're bored and you want something different. It's most likely a significant hair loss- probably 6-7 inches- so people will notice and it will feel different. But, unlike with the super short bob-look, it's still versatile and fun, yet simple, to style.
Most importantly- you get SO many compliments on it. And you have lots of those great hair days that don't seem to exist with the super short do. (or should I say "don't)
And, while it isn't Tres' favorite length- he tolerates it much better now, and it won't take nearly as long to grow back out :)
Sincerely,
Current Vickie, who is actually thinking about getting a "trim" soon, to keep it this length for a little while.
