gBlog - How we see it …

Yep. I did it.

 I chopped off my hair.

I’ve always had this desire for long, beachy, wavy hair… and I’ve finally achieved that recently when I’ve learned how to manage my hair enough so it looks the way I want! Of course, summertime hit and a plateau hit (in which I ended up just using the same old hairstyle everyday to manage my hair).

I’ve been “talking” about chopping off my hair for so long- I originally planned to wait until graduation to chop it off to mark a major transition in my life… cheesy, I know. Then I recently started to think about cutting it off sooner because of the humid DC weather… Then my bf and I went to Burrito Brothers on Penn Ave in Eastern Market and I saw a Bubbles salon next door so I decided to go in and ask for the cost of a haircut there… then I left with an appointment for the next day. Impulsive. I guess it’s about time!

As soon as I sat down in the chair, the stylist gave me one of the latest gossip magazine - thank goodness, because the appointment turned out to be over an hour long and if I had watched the whole thing, I probably would’ve had a panic attack. I nearly had one when I saw her cut off the front layers to the length where the ends meet my eyes. *gulp* I think she cut off easily over 10 inches… I forgot to ask how many inches, but wow, My hair was really decorating the floor.

I know I’m making a big deal about this, but the last time I had hair this short (Reese Witherspoon-style from “Sweet Home Alabma”) was in 2004 right before I left for Costa Rica. That’s pretty long ago. I’m famous for being indecisive about my hairlength- whenever it’s short, I like it but wish it was longer… whenever it’s longer, I like it but wish it was shorter. Geez.

Without further ado… here’s a “before” and “after.” *drumroll*

Ta-da!
