Beauty

[sauce62]

I am needing some bolstering, and I am sure I am not alone. I have been wearing my hair short for a while now and have been mostly happy with my hair stylist. Yes, she always cuts it too short, but it looks really good when it grows out-then I go and get it cut again!!

Now, I think I have finally hit a wall. This last time, I explained that my current style wasn't working for me, as clearly as I could, asking for some modifications. It was longish and just needed to be reshaped. So, what did she do? I got the same haircut, only shorter. And I mean way shorter. I have been really feeling down about the way I look and feel that she is just not seeing what I see. I have been to beauty school, so I have an idea what I am talking about. I feel truly ugly, my bangs are way too short and it has way too many layers.

I know it will grow, but I am so sick of this cycle of trying to maintain short hair. I feel so exposed and almost naked. I am trying to embrace it, but you know how even your clothes look wrong when your hair is too short? I can carry off short hair, but I feel almost mannish.

Can anyone else relate? I am closing in on fifty and still want to look good, and feminine. Any support would be appreciated.
