Hair cut

I was ready for a change in the physicality department. Tyler suggested I "surprise him" in the hair category. Well, there wasn't much that you could do with my hair except have it permanently straightened. There are several reasons why I wouldn't want to do that including high maintenance and my curls are my "one beauty" so I wouldn't want to lose them. I didn't want to bleach it because I don't want fried hair. And highlights would be costly to keep up. So the only other option is to go short! So I did surprise him....sort of. And he doesn't really like it. Three years ago I had it cut this short, right before we moved to Paris (and I had a much fatter face then too) and it has taken 3 years to get to this length.

So here is the before:


And after:


Well, I love it. Thanks Melanie for doing such an awesome job! And thanks for trading hair cuts over the last 18 months for one of my birthday banners! It was kind of weird because I received just as many compliments from men at Church than women. Plus I have enough to donate it to Locks of Love! I hope it can make some other child happy :)

  2. I'm so glad you like it. I thought you might just be telling me that you liked it and then secretly hating it. I'm so proud of you for donating it. That's such an amazing thing you are doing for someone in need.

  5. Oh, man, I LOVE it! It really looks so awesome. You have the perfect curls to pull off that cut. And the length is just right. Any shorter and it would've been too short, I think. Yea for cute hair and great haircuts!

  13. Beautiful! Is it curling even better now that it is short? I'm sure Tyler will like it soon. Since slowly going shorter since marriage, Brandon really likes my hair short now. You are a busy woman with all of your sewing! I hope your show goes well.
