I'm a college guy in my early 20s and in later years I have just completely struggled with my hair. Somewhere around puberty, my hair when from straight to poofy, and now to ratty, curly, frizzy, and just plain gross looking! I seriously feel that I can't even ever look good or presentable, because no matter how well I might try to dress, my hair will always just look like a raggedy mop on my head. It doesn't even feel like long hair really, just like a big mass of dry frizz on my head. I hate it. I really really want to just chop it off and have a nice short hairstyle, which I know for almost certain will boost my confidence. However, there are two big reasons why I am so hesitant towards cutting my hair:

1) I sometimes really like it! Some days I have good hair days (although very rare), and those times I really like how it looks on me. When I have gotten my hair straightened I have loved how it looked, but that is not something I am willing to keep up with. After the shower it looks great, but soon after it starts to frizz and looks worse then ever! Sometimes it can look nice and smooth, but rarely. Mostly I can't stand how it looks.

2) I want to donate it eventually. I have always wanted to donate my hair, but after recently getting it trimmed, don't think it's long enough now. (I thought that would help my frizz by getting the split ends cut, but it didn't). Now I would have to wait even longer to get it long enough to donate. This is something I really want to do, because I just want to donate it! Seems like a good cause. But if I cut it now, it is probably too short to donate, and just thinking how long it took to get it to this length! Wouldn't want to start all over.

I feel bad because college ends in about a month, and I will have gone through all of college feeling insecure about my hair, and never having experienced a change such as finally getting a haircut. I feel cutting my long hair off now will give me just the boost of confidence I need right now in life. Plus I don't want to sound lame by saying this, but I just want to see people's reactions! Everyone has always known me for my long hair, and well... I sort of want the attention of finally changing my look! And I would love to have that before I leave school forever.

I am really stuck right now!
