I cropped my hair

I like the look of long hair, but I don't especially enjoy having long hair.

I've always had very thin and fragile hair. It breaks, clogs showers, falls in food, and one time--years and years and years ago--I worked in an office of psychopaths who picked up strands of my hair off the floor and sellotaped them to my leaving card.

I tried products. I tried pills. I'm pretty sure I've just got shitty DNA.

And I wonder if I could save myself a bit of shame and embarrassment if I crop it short?

One hour, and one emergency tear-down of a clogged shaver later…

That's that, then! I'm going to try some bandanas to see if I can work out some kind of cute enby look, but--worst comes to worst--it'll always grow back.
