Well, the unexpected happened! I decided to give my hair one last wash before “the hack” and to my surprise it matted up sooooooo badly that I couldn’t get a brush through it. Wet and totally unruly! So out came my scissors. What a mess!!! Literally just sawed off a giant dreadlock of mane . Took 3 courageous cuts (and a lot of prayer!) This is the result! Seriously… no styling finesse at all! I still will need to go shorter or shaved within a week at the rate my hair is abandoning my scalp… but at least I will survive today! God, Your sense of humor is beyond the pale!
