- Your hair gets shorter.
- Um. Excuse me. You didn’t spend enough time looking at item one. You just read right on. You don’t just blow past something like that! You’ve got to muse on it, you know? Now think about what you did. And when you’re done, go back to number one.
- When the haircut is over, your hair isn’t as long as it was when the cutting began.
I think my work here is done: with that kind of reasoning, you all understand perfectly well why a haircut is a Bad Idea.
What was I thinking? AUGH! I was a couple of inches away from sitting on my hair, and now it falls a couple of inches below my shoulders! I am very traumatized. Look me up next year, when my hair has comforting, ratty ends again, all the way down my back.
P.S. Mom, I blame you, and your bad, bad advice. I mean, 8-10 inches of split-endish hair isn’t so bad as shorter hair, is it?*
*Don’t be cute and try to answer this. The answer is clearly NO.

Dear Spatula, am I alright? Well, obviously not as my hair is shorter. I assume I’ll recover, though.
For future reference, there’s this thing called conditioner. It reduces the 8-10 inch split ends (way better than shorter hair, by the way) so that when my mother subtle forces me to get a hair cut, less is removed. It isn’t perfect, but after 18 month without a haircut, I only had a few split ends, and when they were cut off (2 days before my wedding) I lost about an inch of hair. So condition.

Haha…I do condition, but I also pick at my hair a lot. I could probably have gotten away with less but…well, 1) I don’t like to say “cut as little as possible” because I have had someone be cute and useless w/ 1/4 inch; 2) when I indicated how long I wanted it to be at the least, when dry, and said “it curls a lot,” I think the hair cutter underestimated the curl; 3) I had a lousy hair cutter who made layers on one side inches shorter than the other. I am going back in to get them evened out, by the way…talk about more haircut trauma…
