Too short, but good for a change

No, this entry is not about a vacation or trip; it's about hair. In November I found a hair dresser that I really like. She specializes in curly hair--definitely a breed of its own (www.cutcolorcurls.com if you are interested yourself). When I went 5 months ago (way too long, I know. Blame it on lack of money and good planning...) I came away with a new vision of how to care for curly hair, but my hair didn't look much different. As I planned to go this next time, I knew I was ready for a change. My hair has basically looked the same for the last 3 years (don't get me wrong, I love the long and curly look and so does Pret), and change is good, right?!?!

I went in planning on getting it a little bit shorter than last time, but as she looked at my hair, she realized how dead it was and was willing to go for the more extreme change. She showed me a quick preview of what she was going to do, then began cutting (she doesn't do wet cuts for curly hair.) The first few cuts began to scare me--it was a lot shorter than I thought. Luckily, that was one of the shortest layers, but still!! She kept snipping away and soon there were piles of curls on the floor. I wish I had had my camera, or that I had kept some of the perfect little ringlets.

By the end, I was a little sad, mostly because I knew Pret would be a little dissapointed at the length, but at the same time, I was strangly exhilerated. I am now a changed woman! After being sick for so long and thinking I had pink eye so not really wearing make-up, I am now ready to start taking care of myself again. It is amazing how a little change in one area can cause a chain reaction of change. Hopefully it is all change for the better.


Sorry the picture isn't the best--it was taken with my computer... And I am not trying to show off, I just have friends and family that I won't see for a while that look at this...
