I got my hair cut at the end of January. I didn't just get a little trim or a few inches cut off. My hair went from this:

To THIS:

As someone currently going through and having gone through these stages myself, I want to take you through the whole entire cycle of getting a hair cut. To help me paint a better picture, I decided: "what better way to help explain it than to use examples from America's favorite high school club", "Glee".

Stage One: The decision

In the beginning, you decide that it's time for a change. Like Kurt, you are very excited about what this new change will bring for you. So excited it makes you want to dance in your seat while it's happening. But don't do that, you need to stay still!

Stage 2: Feeling Fresh

Right after you get it cut, you totally love it. Everyone is complementing you on how good it looks and how it suits your facial structure, or how mature it has made you look. "Look good, feel good" is the theme here.

Stage 3: Stylin'

A few days or weeks go by and you decide that you want to style your hair. You begin to style it and then you realize that your hair is too short to curl, or wave, or put in a ponytail. You can do NOTHING with it. Which causes a lot of this:

And let's not forget this:

Stage 4: Routine

After a few months, you begin to figure out how to style it again so it actually looks good. Your hair is growing out again, so you're a little bit more happier about that.

Stage 5: Regret

Then it gets to the point where the weather is getting warmer, or you're going to a special event, and you want a certain hairstyle. You begin to get impatient because it is taking FOREVER for your hair to grow to that length.

Yes Rachel, I totally understand your frustration.

Stage 6: Just right

Months have gone by and your hair has grown even more. You begin to like the length your hair is at now, and you begin to experiment more with styling your hair to make it look even more amazing than it did before.

Stage 7: Repeat?!

Time passes and you get bored with your hair yet again. Your hair at this point is probably back to the length that you started out with and you decide that it's time for another change...and with that, the cycle begins once more.
