That makes it all sound so much more dramatic than it is. Ah, well. Sometimes I just do that.
So here’s what happened:
After more than two (2) years of cutting my own hair, I finally went ahead and got a Real Haircut. You can see from the pics above that I have been attempting the longer hair. Not long hair, because, well, I just don’t grow long hair. It tends to disintegrate soon after meeting my shoulders. But the hair I’ve been sporting for the last couple of years has been… longer. Until this week. Now it’s shorter again, which is where it belongs. Not short (that ruins my marriage). Just shorter. It’s not yet available in a photographic-evidence sort of way, but maybe after a few more days (when I figure out how to “do” it – I’m still in that “Hey, how did she make my ends do like that?” phase). In general, it’s four inches shorter in the back, and can I just give an “aaahhhhhh,” about that? To touch my hair and not have splinters of it come off in my hands? Lovely.
In the front, it’s a bit longer than chin-length, and if it were thick (or even thicker) hair, it would be chunky – long layers and whatnot. But it’s not thick. Or thicker. It’s baby hair. So it’s more like see-through than piece-y. But I love to feel it. Because it’s more healthy. And I like more healthy.
And now that you have the Becca’s Hair Update, you go ahead and feel free to carry on with the pieces of your lives.
Over and Out.

Okay. Tell your hubby to get his camera out. I need a pic. You have to admit, a Real Haircut feels really good once in a while. You should try, Bekha (my cousin used to work with her and recommended her)at Remedez in University Mall. I got my hair cut by her when I was out there for the Storymakers conference. I found out, as we were chatting, that she cuts Ally Condie’s hair too. And wow, what a hair cut she gave me. That girl works magic. Enjoy your new hair!

I’m in the process of growing mine out and hairdressers keep cutting it too short so I’m hiding from them right now. Your bravery is commendable and I second the motion for some of that “photographic evidence.”

These are the dates of my last two “professional” haircuts. I am sitting outside on my back patio right now, so does it really matter?

What? No photos?? I am never going to try to grow mine out again. Mine is thin and wispy, and feels so much healthier short. You go, girl!

I’m low maintenance so I keep my hair long, which sounds counter intuitive. But ponytails help me get through the day.
