1. You start to notice that your hair is starting to get a little raggedy and that it could definitely use a nice face lift.
But you forget about it.
2. What were you thinking -- you love your long hair!
You can do anything with it! So many styles to try!
3. Why does blowdrying take so long?
4. But like, haircuts are expensive.
Plus, you gotta tip.
5. Your hairstylist is at home, so you obviously have to wait until Christmas break.
6. Just dye it brown?
7. Fine, it needs to be cut.
8. Pinterest will give me plenty of pictures to show her; it has all the answers.
9. You tell your friends you made the appointment so they know it's real -- maybe.
10. You start to fold your hair under to see what it will look like. Oh, it won't be that short!
11. It's the night before your haircut and the anxiety is at an all time high.
12. You tell your friends you're driving to your appointment.
Baby steps.
13. You give your hairstylist specific instructions and ideas on what will be acceptable (she'll ignore them).
14. The shampooing -- really the only reason you showed up.
15. She makes the first dramatic snip and your heart implodes inside.
16. It's over and she turns you around to see the finished product.
17. "Oh, my gosh, I love it..."
18. (I hate it).
19. (I hate you).
20. You run to your car and call your boyfriend, teary-eyed.
21. If everyone else is loving it, it's okay right?
22. Your friends are getting sick of you complaining about it.
23. Let's see what it will look like curly.
24. Okay, not terrible.
25. One month later: acceptance.
