Mom chop 😭

I’ve had long hair for basically my entire life. A couple years ago, I had a bad bleach job done and my hair broke off in most places at about 1-4 inches long. I was devastated. It finally grew back out to roughly where it was, 2 years passing. It was still incredibly dead and unhealthy for the most part because the damage had to grow out.

So it looked like this-

All frazzled, falling out, matting, and impossible to brush. I usually wore it in a ‘plop’ on top of my head, like this-

(10/10 nose grab. Most flattering picture I’ve ever taken.)

But yesterday. Yesterday. I did the thing. I got 6 inches of my dead, messjestic hair cut off.

And guys 😭 I hate it. I miss my long hair so much already. I know that this will help the healthy hair grow out again, but I’m so sad. I feel like it looks so strange. I can’t even put it up on top of my head anymore. It just goes back in this little pony tail. I can’t wait for it to grow back. 😭

Someone tell me what to do with it until it grows back. I’m at a complete loss. 😞
