The effects of life-changing events on... hair ?

This blog post is all about hair...so go ahead men - find something else to read! 

My hair is getting to "that length" when I wonder if I should chop it off to save time and energy or if I want to maintain beautiful long hair.  So I decided to reflect on my hairstyles over the last 7 years.  Interestingly, it seems each change of style was centered around a major event in my life.  Check it out below: 

I grew my hair out for our wedding...


Then, I donated it (that's me on the right in the glasses)


Then I slowly grew it back out...



Then, we found out we were expecting a baby!


After having Michael, I chopped it off to make life easier!



But as I adapted to motherhood, I grew it back out again!


Then I got pregnant again...and exhausted... and chopped it off!



As I adapted to life with 2 sons, I grew it out again...


Then THIS happened...and I was exhausted again...

 

So, I chopped it off again!


And I've been growing it out ever since.....




Like any typical woman, I love it one day, hate it one day, love it one day.... well, you know the cycle.  So for now, I'm keeping it long.  I don't want to make any irrational decisions I will regret later!   I guess I'll just wait for a life-changing event to come along and make the decision for me  - like living alone raising 2 boys, leaving my job, selling my house, moving - oh wait - it seems I am in a constant state of life-changing events right now! I guess I'll just stick it out this time and see if I can handle it...

How about you?  Do you keep the same hairstyle for YEARS or change it up from time to time?

I have followed your pattern. This time I was really drastic though, because it was already relatively short, so now it's REALLY short. Pregnancy+summer=CHOP IT OFF!
