It had been three years since my last visit to the hair salon, and my hair showed it—long, lifeless, and in desperate need of a change. So, on Friday, all of us girls went for a haircut.
I’m pretty low-maintenance when it comes to hair (actually everything!) —no products, no styling, just a simple cut when I finally remember to go. I always dream of long, healthy, slightly curly hair, but the reality? Washing, drying, and styling every two days is just too much work! Terrible! Not for me! Naturally, my hair isn’t that good-looking. See for yourself – it’s a mess! So, as usual, I went short. Easy, practical, and no regrets. Let’s see how long it takes before I forget to visit the salon again!
Girls weren’t ready to go short, except Helmī, she begged for short hair.
Do you prefer long or short hair?

I’m not sure about “easy”… I didn’t even do anything with my hair! 😆

Well, you could do what I do and use a shaver with a number 2 or 3 attachment – my hair is almost gone! 😂

Derrick, my hair was always tangled, but it did make brushing difficult. I used to brush it several times a day and pin it up often. A lot of the ends were split and it was pretty dry, not as silky and smooth as I’d like. I do hope to grow long, healthy hair one day, but for now, I hope this won’t affect our blog friendship! 😄

Fully understood – it would take more than removing a few split ends to spoil our friendship which did of course begin some years ago.

I’m glad to hear that! 😊 Our friendship has been around for years, and I’d hate for a few split ends to come between us. 😄 Thanks for understanding!

That looks really cute, Ilze. Cool and carefree for summer. Like you, I’m not good about going to the salon. I like mine on the short side. Back in the day (Big Hair Era) I wore it long and, well, BIG, but nowadays I keep it simple. Who has time?

Who has time!!! Also, I have a lot going on and my appearance isn’t that important to me or others around me. I collected a bunch of good people around me 😉

I keep my hair to my shoulders, anymore than that is to much work. Everyone looks great.

I totally agree! I washed, brushed, and let them air dry, then had to brush again… and after just 5 minutes, they were tangled again! No more long hair for me—short hair for the win!
