I did the unthinkable for me!

I CUT my hair. Not just cut, CHOPPED it. Ok, well perhaps this is all relative. Because to me, it is SHORT! I just reached a point where I needed and wanted a change. In the past I always tell hairdressers that I want a change without changing the length--and, that never really happens, so I finally told myself to just cut it. It's just hair right?? So, I made an appointment and did it! I was a little apprehensive after I first cut it thinking it was a lot shorter than I wanted, but I actually think it's longer than I give it credit. But, it's all part of the adjustment period I guess. So, here are the before pictures ( for some reason I look almost florescent!)

(Side note: I saw this next picture after I had cut my hair, and maybe it's just me but it seems like the lights hit my hair just right and makes it look so good that I practically had "cut remorse" from cutting it! It's ok now...I'm over it. :-) )


And, the AFTER:
See, that's a lot of hair I cut off!!

Love it! Unfortunately for the rest of us, you could be bald and still be beautiful! Actually, I cut my hair too (9 inches off!)and you're the first of the family that I'm telling!
