I did it!

Hey, so remember last time we talked & I told you I was ready to get my hair cut off? 

I did it!

I really did.  

So here on the left is all the hair I’d been wadding into a bun or a braid for the last five years or so.

Over here on the right is me sitting in a beauty shop for the first time in five years.  I think I might’ve just remembered that somebody was going to wash my hair for me, & how much I like that.  I REALLY like that part.  How did I forget that they do that?

Okay, so back to to the left, here’s where they section off your hair into ponytails for donation.  (I donated my outgrown hair to Locks of Love, an organization that makes wigs for kids who lose their hair to cancer.)   I think I donated something like 10 inches of hair.  It was certainly more than I needed.

 And there on the right is the end result.  A cute little bob that isn’t QUITE wash & wear, but right next to it.  And I’m delighted.  I usually have to digest large changes for a while before I’m at peace with the new normal but I don’t miss my old hair at all.

 

How about you?  Have you made a dramatic change to your look?  Did you have to stew about it for a while, or did you just go for it?   How did it turn out?
