I was putting up Christmas decorations this evening, and decided to put my shoulder length hair up in a ponytail to stop it getting in the way. While I often do a variety of things with my hair at home, I never venture outside with my hair up in any way (normally I just tuck it behind the ears). Anyway, for some reason I was feeling a bit more daring today (I think I have all of you to thank), so I decided to leave it up when a couple of friends came round to see their reactions. The girl of the couple noticed straight away and said as she was walking in the door that "that ponytail actually quite suits you". I was quite pleased by this comment, but initially wondered if she was just being polite.
Anyway, a couple of hours passed and we were all watching the X Factor final on TV. Her boyfriend turned to look on my on the sofa and said "Your hair looks good like that, and you should wear up like that more often."
Well my jaw nearly dropped. I know it may not sound like a big deal to anyone reading this but I was honestly expecting them to be less than positive about it. I must say I am really rather happy at the moment, and will be wearing my ponytail again tomorrow when we have a house full of people round for our Christmas party. Consider my confidence officially boosted!!!
