Friday

Hair Chop + Spoiled Pup

I took the plunge - three inches of my hair, gone!

The decision was made after my hair just stopped holding a curl.  Hot rollers, curling iron, the best volumizers and hairspray a girl can spritz -- by 5pm, you never would have known I'd spent time curling my hair that morning.  Obviously, I needed inches taken off.  I mentally prepared myself for that, and I made my appointment. 

The morning of my appointment, I -- for some unknown reason -- decided to skip out on spritzing in my beloved leave-in conditioner.  The one that I was sure was keeping my hair healthy and dead-end free.  And the one that I have been using every day for months now.

What happened?  I had the most gorgeous hot roller curls that lasted all.day.long.  Right up until my hair appointment at 5:30pm.  I couldnt' believe that all this time I thought the length was weighing it down, and it was just the product that was doing so!

Since I'd already mentally committed to more than a trim, I went with it.

Before: leaving work at 5pm

I mean, it WAS pretty long, and that's a lot of mane on someone that a) has thin hair , and b) is only 5'2".

Right before the appointment, 5:30

So snip-snip we went, bringing up the layers and taking off quite a bit all around.

After, styled straight.

Aaaand, honestly?  I like it, but I miss my longer hair.

Thursday morning

I know that the difference isn't hugely dramatic, and I'll most likely end up loving it this length.  But there are just a few updos that I probably won't be able to pull off anymore.  Operation: grow it back out may be right around the corner.

Anyway, on now to spoiled pups. 

May you all have a "lick-the-carton-clean" type of weekend.




Happy Memorial Day weekend!
Dance party in the car will be commencing at 5:00pm sharp.

  4. It looks great! I am sooo scared to cut anything off my hair. I told my hairdresser that I wouldn't even cut it short (pixie short) for a million dollars. He didn't believe me, but I think it's the truth!

  5. Oh my goodness- I had no idea you were petite! I have very fine/thin hair and I think I need to cut mine too... about a foot to be honest. I love how yours looks styled/curly and think it is so pretty!

  6. I hear ya... My hair was about your current length. Last weekend, I chopped it to about chin length. I'm still adjusting to it... Parts of me miss the long hair but parts of me don't.

  15. I love the new look. I have extremely fine hair as well. What do you put in your hair to hold the curl? Nothing works for me.

  17. I love it--very sleek and sophisticated! Also, I never realized you were only 5'2! How on earth do you pull off maxi dresses so well? I'm 5'3 and they always just make me look short and stout, ha!

  18. Love the new layers, but I completely understand missing the length. Every time I cut off more than a little I notice way more than anyone else and miss the long long long hair. ;)
