Cut It for the Climate

Tags: , ,


Ever since I got married I’ve been wondering what to do with my hair. Before the wedding I left it to grow so I could wear it curled with flowers in it on the big day. For too long though I’ve been stuck in a vicious hairstyle cycle of grow it to a certain length, have it cut to a bit shorter length, neither of which I’m really happy with – on and on it goes.

Long HairRealistically I don’t have time to spend blow-drying / straightening / curling long hair nor do I have the inclination! However I am suitably vain enough to want it to look ‘nice’.

So, I’d been toying with the idea of having it much shorter than usual. Shorter hair would mean no more tying it back when I’m too busy to style it (making me feel like an 8 year old with a pony-tail) and no more getting hot and bothered with the hairdryer (my hair is thick and takes ages to dry).

Then I read an article on Victoria Everman’s blog which made me smile and concrete the decision that actually I did want short hair. You’ll have to read the whole article for yourself but Victoria says “Save time, save money, save the planet, and grow in ways you’ve never imagined – cut your hair short!“.

Hairdressing scissors

I’m not big on plastering my head with hair products and I usually buy organic shampoo and conditioner anyway but with shorter hair I can save water and electricity too. Basically my brunette barnet can been much greener!

By the way, I did have my hair chopped off on Saturday and I love it. If you’re a Facebook friend you can see the new ‘do’ in my profile.
