Hairspo

My hair, is too long. Unfortunately I'm not talking about the hair I grew myself, uttering the words 'my hair is too long' and meaning the hair that's actually attached to my scalp, is something which only exists in fantasies and parallel universes where I wasn't stupid enough to fry the shit out of my hair with bleach*. No, no, whilst I wish I was referring to my own hair, I'm actually referring to my white girl weave, the hair that I sewed onto my head around 6 months ago.

I've always been a fan of the looooong hair look. In my head I envisage Mermaid tresses. In life I actually end up looking either like I've been dragged through a hedge backwards (hair that long needs to be brushed about 10 times a day and will turn into rats tails approximately 10 minutes after you've brushed it) or when it's behaving itself like my life aspirations are to be in TOWIE and I've just forgotten to apply the fake tan. I lust after hair that I could put into pin up styles, and pin curl without ending up looking like a WAG going for the big bouncy curls look. The length of Bettie's hair in the above photo is my ideal length.

 So in two weeks when I go to get my weave tightened (who even says that)  I am going to take a good few inches off the length, and then I should be able to attempt all the pretty pin up hair styles. Emphasis on the word 'attempt' there people. I'll probably still have ratty hair...

*MY OWN ACTUAL HAIR IS GROWING SO FAST THOUGH. I think it's a combination of the weave protecting it so it's no longer snapping at the ends, and also the fact that I never see it as it's all plaited away helps as every time I do see it there's been a big leap. This is a pretty bad photo and it is SO difficult to actually find wee bits of my own hair to check the length but it's definitely getting there. I started wearing extensions when I was 16, and in around 6 months time I'll turn 26 so my aim is to be done with them by my birthday. I refuse to spend an entire ten years attaching hair someone else grew to my head.
