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.
