Chop chop!

Yesterday, because I was sick of all my long hair, dry because I gave myself highlights and for some reason have shunned conditioner this summer, and because I no longer needed to be concerned with having up-do length hair for sis's wedding, I got a whim. So I called the Aveda Institute and they had one appointment left today.

Last night I sat around knitting while watching Sex & the City and reading bad women's magazines, and located a photo. Thing is, I have baby fine hair, and more of it than seems humanly possible, so all these gorgous flippy bobs will not emerge on my head, no matter how long someone tries.

So I walked in today with a photo, and a whole list of things I wanted to change about it. And the girl who did my hair did a fabulous job--she absolutely understood what I wanted. And now I have short hair again. Woo-hoo!





And I'm about to go to a tiki themed party, so I found a never worn halter dress I got at a thrift store (for $4! And it's reversible!) in the back of my closet and did up my face. It'll probably last about an hour, but I like playing girlie-girl every once in a while.





This is the shortest my hair has been in quite some time. I'm happy!

Thanks! I've had that sort of haircut before. I think the main thing is to be able to go in with a clear idea of what you want, and the attitude that it's just hair and will grow back. It's of course harder to do this than it is for me to say it.

I went through a period of several years where I wouldn't let anyone cut my hair and did it myself. Then I found a hairstylist I loved and followed her to different salons until she priced myself out of my budget. Now I take my chances at the Aveda school near my neighborhood, and have had good results. I figure they are getting graded on whether or not I'm happy, so they have good motivation to do a good job! :-)

I get trims regularly, and it's pretty hard for them to screw it up because it's really all one length (though last time I had two long layers put in to cover some breakage). But I don't like how I look with short hair, so no big cuts! :)
