No my hair is not pulled back in this picture...it is gone...and it fabulous!
A few months ago I started thinking how great it would be if I had short hair. I have had short hair before, but I wanted something different something new. There are changes coming up in my life (which I will blog about and spill the beans about soon) I wanted something different.
After doing research about salons who "specialize" with naturally curly hair and finding pictures on Google that I liked I called and made an appointment. I showed him what I wanted and said I want it short. His idea and my idea of short were very different. I was thinking a little longer then this. I got out of the salon and within 5 minutes I was on the phone with Deborah crying freaking out. My hair was gone gone gone!! She was the only one who knew I was going. She met me at my house and said all the right things. I went upstairs and cried and cried. I was going to surprise Chris, but I wrote him and warned him to say only nice things. When he saw me he said "wow. You look different" That sent me back into the fetal position and what he did next was the best thing ever. He didn't say "I told you so" He is the best.
I then told him I needed a trip to Target. I went and bought a hat. ( and a great dress I found on clearance) I got home and E asked me if anyone said anything about my hair (she did not like it at first...at all) I told her no one knew me before my hair cut so it was just normal to them. I then told her I was still the same person. I woke up the next morning and did all my regular things and it kind of hit me I am still the same person. My hair was great, but that isn't what made me beautiful. That isn't what made me me. I am me! I took back my hat and went and bought earrings instead. Is it short..yes. Shorten then I wanted...yes. Do I love that it takes me less then 5 minutes to do my hair...YES! I feel confident and strong. Weird I know. My friend sent me a song after hearing about how traumatized I was. The title was "I am not my Hair" PERFECT!

Well I think it looks great. But even if you don't, no one really notices your hair much because it surrounds such a lovely face. (What are these changes?!)
Anna- I love you! I can't say the changes just yet. Besides I have to keep you coming back. I can't tell all the exciting stuff in one post :)
Amen sister!! I am not my hair either, or I am not my lack of hair? Anyway, you are definitely beautiful =)
Jo, I think you look great! Can you remember how LONG your hair was our senior year??? Down to your butt long and that was even when it was curly!!!
P.S. I really want to hear your "changes"!!! I'll be watching my google reader for it! :) Love you!
You are WONDERFUL and I just love you and your amazing family! You and your new do are beautiful. Your locks will be back before you know it and you just may miss your cute new look.
I am so happy to know you and
I am excited to hear about your upcoming changes.
I loved it from the minute I saw it. Looks great!
This is your father speaking. I LOVE THE NEW LOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And this is your mother!!!!! I love the new you.. It's great to have short curly hair. Isn't it great that it takes half the time to do hair because it's short and curly. I think your beautiful no matter how long or short your hair is.
You are too funny!
You're beautiful no matter what you do to your hair! And, it's darling. Hair grows so fast, especially when it is short, you'll have the style that you envisioned before you know it.
Look forward to hearing your news.
xoxo
glad you embraced it because it REALLY IS cute!!! Love your guts!!!
You are so brave to try something new! Kudos for being brave enough to do it. It looks darling.
I agree with everyone, especially Anna. And I must say, it looks adorable! I pretty much think you could do anything and be adorable, though. And I'm excited for whatever your changes are....can't wait to read all about it!
I loved reading this post, you are such a great writer. Your hair looks amazing and I can't wait to hear about the news coming up in your life.
