Last September, I went from super long GORGEOUS hair to a very short pixie cut. It wasn't my choice to get it all cut off and needed to be done due to a recent hair bleaching catastrophe.

When I got all my hair cut off my confidence plummeted. I hated my hair and thought it changed my appearance for the bad. I thought people would see me differently and judge me based off of its length.

My heart now aches for how I use to feel about myself. As my hair slowly started growing back and is now touching my shoulders I've realized how crazy I was to think it would change who I am.

I cried many nights over my hair and my loss of confidence, but I still had it all along (well maybe not my hair). I should have seen at as just another part of life and a lesson that my beauty isn't determined by the length of my hair.

You get to decide how you handle things and I started off by not handling that situation very well. I'm still me even if I'm missing a few inches ( or a lot ) of hair.

Long hair, short hair, no hair and blue hair, all hair is beautiful and shouldn't determine your amount of confidence. It's okay to feel confident in your hair and it's okay to not, but don't let it control how you feel about yourself.
