To cut or not to cut

For as long as i can remember I have been that person who has always whined and complained about wanting long hair and yet cut all of mine off frequently. Theres something youthful and beautiful about long scraggily hair that makes any outfit look better. I do try, but the knots normally win and my patience wears thin so off it goes, of course having a best friend as a hairdresser also added to this haircut obsession. Now since moving away from that friend, and having two nasty pricey haircut experiences in America i have gone with the natural afro re-growth look deciding this time i will grow and grow and grow it until its all that i have dreamt of......but the battles with the hairbrush are getting all too much already.....and then i see these babes sporting some cute pixie looks and wonder........(even though i already know i couldnt) could i pull this off too?
