Katsolo's Journal, 17 April 2021

Had a really good swim this afternoon, not sure if I turned it up one or two notches, but I did it and I held my own. Going for a walk next and will ponder the next big decision on my plate.

832 strokes, first 500 were at the slower speed so this will go up tomorrow. 149 average heart rate, 10.5 METs. Spend 9 minutes in warm up, 9 in cardio and 11 in peak. kinda perfect. very happy with the day.

so, after the exercise stuff, the big question is whether to cut a year's worth of growth off my hair next month. it's a lot of hair, it's a pain in the butt, it looks light in the pic, but that's the light, it's very much a dark brown and this is not max curly, it's at about 50% of what it can do on its own. decisions, decisions. I used to keep it around my shoulders and now it hits just past the middle of my back.

I was very hungry in that profile pic. Brought out my inner wolf. Plus, pizza. This is the longest I’ve had it since my twenties. It’s definitely the longest my bangs have been. They’re well past my shoulders. I’ve been trimming the dead ends myself, but the layers need a skilled hand. That’s the main problem. It’s heavy and needs layers to lighten it up.

FS frame cut off about six inches in that pic.

Love your hair. l had 6 inches cut in December, but it's all grown back, so I am facing the same quandary you are.

I like it long, Kat! 🌺As you said, cutting some layers would lighten the weight to make it easier to style. Your beauty shines through your posts and the photo just reaffirms it! 😘

Wow, you are all so sweet. I'm so looking forward to "normal" and maybe even people and leaving my house. I suck at selfies, and I'd much rather focus on taking pictures of the things around me.

Take it from someone who went a little crazy 2 weeks ago: Less Is More when it comes to cutting hair! You can always go back and get it chopped off again if you feel it's not enough. I had all the colored damage hacked off and it's a shock every morning when I brush my teeth.

Nice pic!

Wow! You look just as I imagined you looked. And keep the hair. Just trim it up if you want. One man’s opinion. Most folks don’t care for mine but I offer it nonetheless 😂. At the end of the day, do what makes you happy and let’s you sleep better at night. 🙂. You look fabulous, kat.

I would always vote for longer hair, but I know curly hair is not the easiest to take care of so, I wouldn't blame you for trimming it.

Katsolo I am going with JustBananas as you can always go back. It sounds like you like it, but you need it trimmed and layered so you will feel better. Mermee floored me with your profile pic comment, then calling you Wolfie!!🤣😆😂 I would go with her suggestion and pamper yourself when things get safer and brighten that lovely face!🌺🌸💕

Gorgeous!!! I love your curl! Lots of great advice here, but I will add my two cents... I think freshening up the layers would be a great treat, but hopefully not losing all the length. I cut my hair to shoulder length about four years ago and it's taken this long to get back to properly long again and I missed it when it was short - but it all depends on what makes you happiest as Jheeden says. Fully agree with the last sentence of Gib_GJ's comment too. 💕

You are beautiful, Kat, and so young! Goodness! ❤️ What a lovely picture and your hair is great! My youngest girl has curls, but it isn't thick. It is a lot of work, but curly hair is so fantastic! I imagine dealing with it long when you swim so much must be something else!

Love the hair as it is!

I always based the style and length of my hair on a few things. As I have gotten older its more about how much time and maintenance is involved so simpler is better. Also if it's pulled up in a knot or off my face most of the time I know the shape and style is outgrown. Your general health is also shown in the health of your hair. Nothing more than dry color damaged hair to distract from the image you want to show the world. On myself certain hairstyles are more appropriate for the shape of my face and show off my neck and collarbones. Anything too long tends to drain my face and make me look tired. I would work with a stylist to find the best length, style and amount of maintenance you want to put into it. You are a beauty but I guess we all knew that already !

I think this is a perfect length so if FS cut off 6 inches... maybe go with that. That is some serious swimming to get your heart rate that high- but nothing new for you. Beautiful hair, beautiful face, beautiful skin... You're so modest. I can't remember if I have ever seen your face. Gorgeous! Who knew? I only knew beautiful based on personality. 💕

PS not suggesting your hair looked damaged ! That was a general statement.

Good job on your workout and yes, you can take good selfies. 👍 You have beautiful hair. 😍 I am currently in the same situation - to cut or not to cut. I vote keep the length, add in layers. Please keep us posted on what you decide. 😊
