I Did It!

I chopped my hair! Yes I mean CHOPPED and I LOVE IT!!! Those of you who know me, know I have been wanting to get it cut for sometime....I've been asking for suggestions for stylists(BTW, thank you for all of the suggestions)....but for me cutting my hair it takes a process and takes preparation time once my hair gets long. Pretty much anytime I go for more than a trim it is a spur of the moment decision. So I had obtained this card through Ricky (and him, from his boss) for a hairstylist here in Lubbock. The card is green with zebra print...hey...that prolly means she's a pretty hip, in-style stylist right? So Friday I give her a call....no answer....I do decide I will give her one more call an hour or so later and she answers. However, she tells me the bad news that she can't get me in till the end of next week, I sigh and say ok and she tells me to wait a min. She comes back on and says, "I can get you in at 4:15 but I won't have time to style it," I said, "I'll take it!" So I go in and through the course of getting it cut she tells me that she could tell in my voice that if she didn't squeeze me in, I probably wouldn't be getting my haircut anytime soon. I didn't know I was that obvious but I am very skeptical about getting my haircut and about hairdressers. Yes, your hair will grow but you must live with it till it does and if you hate it and have cut it all off, there isn't much you can do about it but live with it and I'm not very good at that! So my only requests for my new do were.....short but still long enough for a ponytail (even if it is a little nub), layered, thinned, low maintenance and STYLISH!! She was able to manage all of the above and here is my new do........

This is after getting it cut...it is unstyled by a professional, hair dried, finger styled and very little product in it. I did borrow Ricky's MINI flat iron and I mean MINI to help the hair out around my face (although if you could see it, you know it wasn't MUCH help) but for the most part it was an organic fixing!

Since she was unable to style it and show me how, I'm still working on it and trying to figure out what looks best. I LOVE it though and so does Alan. For a change, my mom actually likes it and she never likes when I do anything crazy with my hair (ie. cutting it more than a trim)
