Short Cut

Today I finally did something I have been thinking about for months.  I took a deep breath, and jumped right in before I could think twice and talk myself out of it.  And now... the results are in.

Before:

     

After:

    

It ended up a little shorter than I had expected.  And it's a huge change, which I am still getting used to.  In a nice surprise, my hair was long enough that I was able to donate the length they cut off! 

Hair Help

OK... I have seriously been putting this off long enough.  Too long actually.

I think it was back before Christmas I wrote about needing a hair cut.  I've been avoiding the subject (and the scissors) ever since that post. 

The problem is that I can't figure out what to do with my hair.  Which isn't really like me.  In the past I have had the "it's just hair - it will grow back" attitude.  When I have decided to do something different, I do it. 

This time around, I am over thinking it.

Should I take off some of the length and go for something a little different...

I want some layers so I can still wear it curly when I want

But my hair has gotten so long, I get nervous about cutting it.  So, then I think - maybe I should just leave it long...

Honestly, even just the thought of getting a basic trim and shape up is freaking me out right now.  Which is just strange.  I don't know if it's a sight I've let my hair just get too long or what.

What I do know is that my ends are fried and I'm in need of some serious hair help!

Christmas Cut

It's that time of year again.  Yes... the Christmas season.  But that's not what I am referring to right now. 

This season rolls around once or twice a year.  I hear the scissors calling me.  It's that time of year when I start getting the urge to cut my hair.

Of course, then the big question starts.  What sort of haircut should I get?  How short?  Do I change completely or just trim up what I've got going on here already? I start dreaming of how I would look with a long bob. Or with a bunch of layers. Or if I keep it long and start using hot rollers. Or... well, you get the picture.

It's gotten soooo long!  It's almost to the middle of my back.  Which makes for easy braiding and ponytails when I want it out of the way.  But it seems I'm always pulling it out of the way. 

Leaving it curly seems to result in frizz.  But straightening it takes forever. 

So, what's a curl... er, a girl.... to do?
