I made a deal with my parents to cut my hair, on the condition that they buy me something expensive and I get to keep it long. (I know that sounds weird and spoiled, but my mother is psycho and desperate like that)
At first I was distraught, she cut off most of the bottom portion, that's 2 and a half years worth of growing it out and I only have an inch or two left! However I found the top part still has plenty of length, almost 2 years worth (10 inches), so I'm getting over it. It's more even now as well, so I'll probably like the results more after I grow it out again.
Idk why they perfer my new hairstyle though. It looks very feminine, especially compared to my old, shaggy and lazy hairstyle. Whatever. It's still very uneven though, as I didn't get it finished. I can't bear the thought of cutting any more of it, at least until it grows out more.
