Goodbye Locks, Goodbye Self Worth

Okay, so I don't really find self worth in my hair. That is just an exaggeration of how I feel.

I cut my hair. I did not want it this short, but I think I did not communicate well to the stylist. She did a fine job, by the way, but I failed to accurately describe what I wanted. I'm not one to obsess over my looks. I love high fashion, and I feel I can express myself artistically through my appearance, but I don't scrutinize my every feature. HOWEVER, I'd say we all have that one physical feature we are most confident in. For me, it is (was) my hair. I honestly love it. I have never colored it, and I prefer to wear it wild and crazy when I'm not working. I am something of a rock and roll girl.

That was just me giving you an idea of who I am, so you'll understand my dismay at seeing my hair go. It's just a lot of hair to lose in a year. I can only explain it with pictures. Here's one of my before working at KTAB...

Here's one months after working at KTAB...

And, here's one a little over a week ago, after cutting my hair...

I know it's not bad. It just was NOT me--too soccer-mom-ish. I am a big fan of such capri-wearing women, I'm just not ready to be one. I actually got a friend from church to trim it up after this picture. It has more layers know, and I like it MUCH better. I was just too lazy to take another pic and post it.

Eric is the guy who cut my hair now, and it looks great! He is now working at a salon on North 1st St. "Spin 360." Go see him. He's not only great at doing hair, but he has a fun personality that will make your time in the chair much more enjoyable.

Back to my hair...I know it's more "professional." That's a big decision to make this day and age. It's been a struggle for me. Do I stay true to myself in every way possible, or do I make sacrifices to get the things I want in life? You decide. I have found that there can be a balance. That's why I had Eric jazz up my hair after this pic. It's now funky and professional.

Another thing...my hair grows like weeds. I got my haircut a little over a week ago, and it has already grown at least an inch. No lie.

Anywho, I plan on growing my hair from here until doomsday. Don't stand in my way, or I'll wrap my swaddling mane around tongue and pull it out. That was vulgar. I blame the new hair.

Cheers.
