I didn't really want to cut my hair but I have been thinking about donating my hair to Locks of Love for a while now. I just felt like it was about time to do what I said I would and cut that 10-inch ponytail off.
Of course I had help from my life-motivationalist, my old roomie Julie. I have now for 2 years gone to Houston for New Year's and while I am visiting done something drastic. Last year was getting my eyebrows done for the first time and this year was the big haircut. (Yes, yes - I know. I should have done my eyebrows long ago but I needed to feel secure in that decision first and I am a slow adopter of fashionable things. At least I finally did it and they look fabulous.)
So on New Year's Eve, we walked into the salon, the guy put my hair in a ponytail and with a few whacks took off the hair. With trimming the dead ends first, taking the 10-inch minimum requirement, and then just trimming my hair and adding layers, my hair was cut a full foot!
Here are the dramatic results:
Before
(Yes, my hair was quite long.)
After
And the natural waviness of my hair created this...
Many a person commented on this change. It was really nice and I soon knew that anyone I happened upon would pretty instantly notice the difference and say something very nice. I have to say my favorite comment was from my next door cube neighbor, Andrew, who said this, "Something got a hold of your hair." Hahaha, he's awesome. :)
It's great that something so simple can make such a positive change - I hope that my hair makes a very nice wig for one of the children.

your hair looks really cute with the natural waves! i finally chopped my hair too. but i'm used to growing it out and doing a big chop every now and then. i feel like i get more of my money's worth when there's more of a change. haha.
Thank you! It actually gets a little crazier than that picture but I'm trying to accept it...it does fly in my eyes a lot more now. :o) Haha!
