Yep, the elephant will be a bit tamer come mid-April. The thing is, my stylist has my best interest in mind. She knows exactly what I'm needing to achieve and we're going to try to dial it back to the point where I was about 3 months after I first went out without a wig. I was able to do a really terrific feminine style at that time even though I didn't have a fraction of the length I have now.
I have mixed feelings about the whole thing. I will miss the simple joy of having long hair. Taking care of it is far from a chore, it is something I adore. As my friend Diana reinforced, getting attached to one's hair is far from irrational and yes, I may get emotional a time or two in Vegas thinking of the end being near. But it's a new beginning because it really will help my home life. And pretty much every step of the way as it grew out, I would say to myself "right on, I can stop here and be pretty darned happy", only to find myself that much more pleased the next step in it's growth.
I booked my appointments this morning, both the before & after. I have plenty of anticipation for obvious reasons (a week in Vegas) and a bit of trepidation to go along with it.
