I cut my own hair today

So, after getting dressed for work, I was taking one last look over in the mirror to make sure my underwear wasn't showing and as I turned to leave the bathroom, I caught a glimpse of my hair from the side. There were two locks hanging way down my back, about 2 inches longer than the rest of my hair. Could only a few strands grow faster than other hair? It really looked stupid, like that style that little boys had a few years ago with the long rat tails hanging down their backs. I grabbed a pair of scissors, reached behind me, grabbed the offending long hair and whacked it off. Or I thought I did. I looked in the mirror again, and there were the two over-long locks still hanging down. So I gave it another go. And another and another. I ended up with the two long locks gone and two huge handfuls of extra hair on the bathroom counter. I can't really see the back of my head very well to know what exactly I hacked off in my attempt to even up my hair but no one really pays attention to the back of people's heads, do they?
