I did it and there were no tears!



Even thought it is WAY different then I had in mind, I really love it!! It is so much cooler and looks better than my old hair. It looks like I actually have hair and she colored it dark burgundy. It looks pretty in all this sunshine we've been having.

My old hair was so drab and lifeless. When I put it up everyday in my little twist it was sad. After a couple of hours it would start to frizz out on the sides and look like I never even brushed my hair that day. What a mess! I'm so glad those days are gone for now.

I love that it takes no time to wash, just rub my scalp clean with some shampoo and I just use a dot of conditioner on the back. I am wondering if I need some kind of styling product to help shape it different ways. I'm such a newbie at styling hair.




I imagined a more sleek do but my hair is quiet bendy. Not curly or wavy but bent in different places. Today I didn't get to the drier in time so it was a bit more flippy than these pictures. Whenever I walked past a mirror I did a double take, who was that girl??



The only thing I would have done differently was perhaps donate my hair to something like Locks Of Love. I didn't even think of it at the time because my hair was such a rats nest. Who would have wanted that? But now that I'm thinking of it she cut around 10 inches off easily. It's too bad I didn't think of it at the time.

It is definitely taking some time to get used to but I really do like it. I think I just might keep it short for a while.

Thanks you guys!! It's a bit of a toss up: I need to actually style it a bit now with a big round brush and a bit of the curling iron, where as before just brushing it out took quite a few minutes and then drying it took forever. But mostly? It's just plain more fun now!! :)
