Hair chop!


Ta-da!  I decided to chop off most of my hair over the weekend.  Originally, I planned on just cutting it to my shoulders but one thing led to another and suddenly I had a bob!  I haven't had hair this short since the Disastrous Bob-cut of 1998, but I have been feeling persnickety lately and just wanted something DIFFERENT.


I use heck of a lot less shampoo now and I must admit that it is very easy to maintain!  I don't straighten my hair every morning, it just curls in by itself most of the time - thanks to my favorite-awesome hairdresser dude, Juno.  All I need to do is comb it out a bit and stick a hairband on if it's particularly frizzy.  I thought I would hate having hair in my face, but since it is so short, it actually doesn't bother me at all. I think most girls (me included), have a bit of a phobia having super short hair; longer hair is seen as shmexier and more universally flattering I suppose  ^_^;;   Worst comes to worst, hair always grows back too~  Basically, I am glad I took the jump and I think I will actually be keeping my hair above shoulder length for at least another year.  Having so little hair will be so nice in the summer too. Yah yah yah!

Looks like a little cat's paw sticking out of my head :|

Ultimately, I will be growing it out about 1-2 inches to match Hairstyle #11 from this post.  Partly because the people who voted in that poll liked that haircut the most :D and partly because I want to be able tie back more of my hair.  Right now I can only make a ponytail with half my hair :( :(

  1. Doesn't it feel... light... easy.. liberating? I did the same thing a while back and I LOVED it. However, I hated growing it out to a longer length (bf prefers it longer) because it would go through the awkward length stage.
