Okay, I know sounds silly I get laughed at if I try to tell people who suggest I cut my hair. But I have an intense fear of getting my haircut for as long as can remember. I don't know why but even just picturing getting my haircut or watching past a hairdresser/barbershop fills me with dread and anxiety. I only get my haircut every two or three years at the at most need. But when it is time to get my haircut oh boy...I shake when going into the store and feel like crying. I have managed to now train myself to not have a panic attack and cry while it is getting done but after it has finished being done in the car on the way home. I feel fine after and grateful i have done afterwards. This happens even if you just cut an itch of my hair off. The thing is my hair is too long reaching my bum. Many people say that my hair is beautiful but it could do with a cut or a would suit a shorter style.

I agree I think my hair is starting to get to difficult to look after and a hassle but I'm terrified of cutting it. Is someone else facing this problem?

Oh forgot to mention I much less anxious if I cut my own hair even if I do a terrible job at. I rather me give myself a terrible haircut then someone cut my goodly. Saves me from all the anxiety! And the last time I got a haircut was almost 3 years ago.
