Then it started growing out. And it annoyed the hell outta me.
I'm not the best with doing anything to hair other than washing it and (sometimes) brushing it. Having to use a straightening iron to curl under the ends of my 'do was frustrating, and my hair is so thick it never worked anyway. As a result, after a certain stage my hair was all flippy and somehow mullet-y.
At the risk of sounding big-headed, everyone has complimented my short hair. And it's grown on me, no pun intended. With my hair already short, I figured I might as well try a lot of styles now, instead of having to find the balls to do a drastic change again. So I found an even shorter 'do I liked, made an appointment, and chopped my locks again.
The back is kinda boy-short.
The verdict? LOVE IT. I always thought I needed long hair to look feminine, since I'm taller and tomboy-ish. I was scared short hair would make my wide hips look even wider - and maybe it does, but I don't care. I love having my hair short. It's easier, and my art director says it looks sassy. Any time the word sassy is used, you can count me in.
Lookin' good girly! :)
ReplyDeleteThank ya much!
DeleteOoh yay! Can't wait to see in person!
ReplyDeleteHELL. YES.
DeleteSASSY! for sure :) And yeah, hair changes are totally addicting. I somewhat dramatically change my hair about twice a year. It's a basically non-destructive way to get a new-image high. Ha.
ReplyDeleteThat's shorter than I've ever gone, though. I've been sooo tempted, but I haven't quite done it that short in the back. I've been toying with getting a pixie cut, but I think it wouldn't work on my body style -- someone with basically the same body style got one recently, and I was shocked at how cute it *didn't* look. So I might be scared off that. :( I'm thinking of growing it out now and adding bangs. I go on and off of bangs, and it might be time for bangs again.
I haven't drastically changed my hair (pre-May) for, oh, fifteen years, haha. But yes on the new-image high! A great feeling.
DeleteI've always wanted to go boy short, but pixie would probably be a better alternative. I have a feeling it wouldn't look good on me either, but I might try it next year if I'm in a place where no one knows how I used to look, hehe. I've had bangs thrice in my life and love them except for the growing out period. I bet I'll have them again though, esp if I grow my hair long again, because I love how bangs and ponytails look.
Once I went short I've never been able to go long again. Trying to get through that medium length stage is torture, and I hate how much effort I have to put into getting long hair to behave itself. That being said, I've had many of the same fears you did on and off over the years about being a more voluptuous woman and having short hair.
ReplyDeleteSassy indeed!
Your hair looks super awesome on you. I agree with the growing out stage - and mine wasn't even that "medium" when I was frustrated with it! I think I'll try at least one or two more short cuts before I even let it get to that medium stage again, even though I DO have that fear of being bigger with short hair... I still want to try them, so I might as well go for it and learn from my mistakes.
DeleteIt looks faaahbulous darrrling! I want to run my fingers through it, it looks so lovely and thick, is that weird?!
ReplyDeleteNot weird at all, I'd let you! I love doing it myself. And it IS thick! The woman sweeping up my hair said "Your haircut needs a haircut" - and that was just a few inches!
DeleteIt is beautiful. Make sure you try to not shave it all off next time you get a haircut though!!!
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'll just shave the left side
