Hair's the Thing

Two years ago my stylist and I were talking about my hair and my addiction to length change, at the time my hair was shoulder length and my stylist asked me to try and grow it longer. I decided that I'd grow it until I got married. A year later I was itching to cut it all off when Jus proposed.

At that point I started to grow out my layers and as my hair grew down my back my curls loosened up. A week before the wedding my wedding day stylist declared that she needed to cut a couple of inches off of my length in order to fit all of my hair in my updo.

My beautiful wedding hair

The month and a half since the wedding I have suffered through long, layerless hair. It hasn't been very curly and it has been very tangley and frizzy. Last Wednesday I had finally had enough, I needed a haircut and I needed one now! (Do you ever get it in your head that you NEED a haircut that very day?)

I called around and being the day before Thanksgiving all of the salons were either booked solid or closed. I finally remembered that one of our friend's friends used to be a stylist and still has a little salon in his basement. I called him as I was leaving work and went immediately.

I was in and out in a half hour with 4 less inches for $10 and in the week that has followed I couldn't be happier with my cut!

Short hair is so freeing!

Do you make rash hair decisions?
