As a kid, my hair was super long. When I was about 4ish, my mom gave me a bob haircut and I had a meltdown. For years, I wouldn’t let anyone cut it except my bangs. When I was about 10, my mom put her foot down because my hair was down to my waist amd super thick. I’m fairly tall and was already past 5 feet then, so that was a LOT of hair to take care of. Ever since then, I’ve gone back and forth between short and long. It’s short at the moment, but I’m trying to decide if I should grow it out again. One of the ways I stim is putting my hands in my hair.
