haircut!
SO... after having the same haircut since i was say... 12ish? i decided to go wild and chop it off. i spent a month in France and when my group got to Aix en Provence, we all decided to go chop chop. the place we went to was pretty scary as it was seemingly too punk rock to know what to do with curly hair and i was scared as heck that i would walk ou the door with a curly mullet or something, but! they knew what to do.
ive always been told by my haircutter that my curls were best when they were long, so she always just kept it one length and BORING. one length. halfway down my back almost. and parted in the middle. bleh. i mean, i loved the long hippy curls and it took me a long time to achieve and appreiciate, and i'll miss them for a while, but im really excited about this change and this new found versatility. and im glad i didnt turn too hip looking to still be the devout lil hippy i am inside. haha.
so here are the before and after shots!
enjoy.

[the day i got it. i spent so much time in front of a mirror it was sick! haha. i couldnt believe how chic i suddenly looked. side part! and my curls got wavy instead of bizarre and kinky!]
[down and curly. i love that my curls are now more... almost matted? theyre more uniform instead of going in like 1000 directions.]
[ive always wanted to be able to have that little poof of bangs pulled back with a bobby pin and now i do! hurray! along with a crazy curly pony tail!]
