Happy with My Hair
written by Regina Rodríguez-Martin
June 18, 2010

My hair is gone (see my new profile picture) and I feel so much better now. I’m going to be 44 in one month and I just didn’t want to carry around a college ponytail anymore. The hair past my shoulders didn’t reflect who I think I am anymore and I was out of ideas as to what to do with it. The photos in previous posts show how I was wearing it and it really bored me.

This haircut feels so much better. I don’t have to fuss with it as much, it’s off my neck and it’s not heavy and hot for the summer. I feel more mature, professional and middle-aged. Yay, middle age!

    Thanks, Miss Rachel. And thank you RAW, for being sorry to lose me to the short-haired population, although I'm sure one day, I'll be back.

    Well, I'm happy that you're happy with your hair, since it makes up for those of us who remain in the Luxuriant Flowing Hair Club who are sad!

    Sorry to lose you in this way, even if it does make you look 24 instead of the (oh) 34 or so you did look.

    Mummy D, thank you. That's funny if the haircut makes me look younger. I thought it made me look more like a mom because moms often cut their hair.I might be working on a false assumption.
