Cut my hair...

And, Brian doesn't like it. Granted, the hair dresser always throws a ton of product in it when they cut and style it, and I'm not a huge product girl. But, he doesn't like it. I liked it less after it was styled. It was much better right after the cut and before they threw in so much product.

Going to take a shower and wash it all out. I sure hope I like it better when I do it myself. Shortest I've ever gone.

But, with very little coaxing, my hair looks like Don King's. Just throw a little powder in there, and this is me... with a tan... and as a man.

Good look on me, eh? 

[EDIT] to include for a god-awful collage of the offending hairstyle...

Yes, I knew I was not making attractive faces while I took these self-portraits. The top row was after I attempted to brush out as much of the product as I could. The bottom row demonstrates that a shower is truly needed to try and "fix" it

Re: Cut my hair...

  • It's cute!!!! I'm sure it will take getting used to on both your parts, but it really is a cute cut on you!
  • I love it.  It frames your face really well.  rock that short hair girl! :)
  • Love, Love Love the top row photos! I really like that style on you! 
  • I think the style is cute on you!  Plus at least it will grow back if you do end up hating it.  I really do think you pull off the cut though and it looks good on you. 
  • It looks much better with me styling it, and Brian doesn't hate it now. It just didn't look "me" when the hairdresser put all that gunk into it. Let me go snap a photo and I'll share a happier me. I do like the cut, I just was really disappointed with Brian's initial reaction to it.

  • I swear didn't you just cut your hair short like a few weeks ago? Anyway, I think this new cut is actually pretty cute. You have the face for short hair..not everyone does (like me!). You'll get used to styling it. I think you are fancy!

    Believe it or not, that was almost three months ago!! I was "due" for a 6-week haircut/trim/make-it-look-nice-again before Thanksgiving. But, I was a bit preoccupied with family stuff, so I let it grow out, and it was (short) ponytail length again. I never thought my hair grew that fast! I'm really starting to dig this particular cut. It's so easy to style. The hardest thing is getting used to having bangs. I haven't had bangs since the early 90s... and it was poofy!! SO DIFFERENT!! :)

  • Love it, Alicia!  It is a really great look for you!
  • I think it looks really cute!  I usually like my hair more after washing out the products from the salon too.... more natural, you know? 
  • I think it looks great, Lisha. Your brother-in-law commented that it looks like "Emma Watson's cute haircut."
