To cut or not to cut


It's time again I suppose... One time a year I get this phase where I contemplate cutting my hair, and I mean cutting it drastically. But then I never do it, and I never had it done, and... I just don't *know* what i could do with it -_-;;
Basic obstacle besides my lack of decisiveness: I do *not* trust the hairdressers. Nope. Never had to until now. I nearly lost it last year, when I met a trustful hairdresser in Caloundra, QLD... but I didn't decide spontaneous, and later on we had no time to go back again. That was the only time I thought someone had the right idea about what to do with my hair. Not that it isn't good the way it is, I mean, it's great: long, smooth, nice colour, not too frizzy, yada yada. Although it fits my character I can't help but think that a short cut would fit as well, or ven better?!? The way it is now it's just one well groomed horse tail.

Mou -_-; Today I had it again, the every-year-crisis, and I fooled around with my hair, taking some pictures. More by coincidence I found something that *I* think suits my face quite good, only to later discover that it's a mix between Naoe Nagi and Schuldig (from Schwarz; Weiß Kreuz. Man, I love Schuldig. Who could guess that the hairstyle I improvised would be so close to his? I didn't intend so, it just happened!). I also played with a thai wig and it had a hint of the young Hitokiri Battousai (from Rurouni Kenshin) when knotted in a high samurai ponytail; but relax, I'm not going to wear that in PUBLIC =P

Oh no! It looked so GOOD! And it's really close to an anime cut, which isn't a bad thing in itself, unless it's going to be bright peppermint green or purple coloured. (I'd personally go for natural or red, or at least red highlights. Consider that I've never messed with my hair. Dye? Good beewaaaare!). I like asian hairstyles, because they fit me well, just like chinese clothing does. Usually my appearance is neutral, people don't suspect me as partly asian unless they see my long braid or have eurasian friends and know the looks. Surely a certain hairstyle would accentuate my asian for good.

Strangely, it has been this way since years, maybe since late puberty. I said goodbye to my bangs in 6th class (cutting them back would make me look like twelve now, mwuahaha). Had frequent curiosity episodes for very short hair (saw the tough grrl in Alien 2 or three, the marine), but it wouldn't have been good to look like a militant feminist or a "Kampflesbe", ne? Until I turned 20 I let it grew longer even. Then I got rid of the puny ends and since then it has been that way it is now. Lternating between waist and hip length.
I always wanted a radical short cut, but lacked the will to risk it. After all the wrong cut would result in utter horribleness. I wished I had an asian hair cutter... they'd know what I need, I need someone who knows what to do to make it perfect.
So will I do it now? Will I? Nah, most likely not. But maybe it would be good...? Maybe just bangs again, for starters? Hell, I look like what?15 then?

Feeling sulky now.

Why not check it out here! Advice and opinions appreciated.

<-- doesn't that suit me? Does it? Hmm?
