Ok, so I feel like I have a problem, but not really b/c it's my hair and ultimately my decision. The entire back section of my hair is horribly broken off. Some sections are less than 1/2 an inch, others are just an inch. I'm not sure of the "exact" cause but, I figure it's due to bad self-relaxing, self-coloring, and just a lack of TLC over the last few months. I'm at the point now where I just want to BC and start fresh. I did this before, back in 2005. I'm talking "went to the barber shop and let my friend shave all of my hair off" BC. This is also the time where DH stopped being "just friends" and started dating so it's not like he hasn't seen this before.
DH cuts his own hair so I figured he would use the clippers for me. When I asked would he, he said no. After asking over and over why he wouldn't, he finally told me that I had done all of this talking about growing my hair long and now I'm talking about cutting it all off. He says he's never known me to have long hair (I've always had it cut short (like Halle Berry back in the day) and this is the longest it's been in years) and he had gotten it in his head that my hair would be different. He said he doesn't really like "short, short hair".
But, it's not like I'm going to cut it off and leave it off. Through trial and error, I've learned what I should do and what I should leave to the professionals. With that knowledge, I want to start over so I can make great progress.
So, I'm at a crossroads. He's told me that he knows that I'll do what I want regarding my hair, that I've always done so. It just sucks that I don't have his support in this, when he's helped with my hair before. I'm going to cut it, I just don't know if I should cut it myself, with his clippers (hoping that he'll end up helping me if he sees me messing up) or just go to a barber shop and let someone else cut it.
Has anyone ever made a hair decision that your SO wasn't very supportive of? TIA for the responses.
