Drastic
so yesterday I decided to cut my hair. For a number of reasons, one of them being the fact that my apartment has steam heat and my hair has been falling out in the shower because it was so damn dry. The other being the fact that I'd always wondered what I would look like with short hair. Like Mariska Hargitay in Sean Four and five of Law and Order SVU short hair. So partly to save my poor damaged hair and partly out of curiosity I cut my hair.
Although the stylist did an amazing job and I have gotten really positive feedback, from a fairly tough audience (boyfriend, grandmother, boyfriends parents) I am unsure as to how I feel about it. I have phantom Lock syndrome or something. When I turn my head the familiar weight is gone. And also with a hairstyle like this, drastic, bold and sexy I have to be able to pull it off, which I am scared that I don't. I chose cutting my hair so short because it needed the new start. The previous stylist had butchered my hair horribly. I chose the particular way Mariska Hargitay had it because she has a square jaw and high cheekbones, like me, so I could guess how it would look.
I do not recognize myself in the mirror, I have to say. I sort of feel like I have to be a different Des. Kind of slip into the character of the hairstyle.
I will say that I am glad in a way that I did this. My hair will grow out more beautiful and thick and healthy and not fall off in the shower. And the way the stylist cut it was such that there would be no ridiculous awkward growing out phase. it would all hust eventually blend together.
Also it is getting really hot. And thick long hair in the summer is cause for major ewwww...
And Dani dear before you have a heart attack rest assured that I will take care of my hair for the wedding. It will have grown and there are ideas I have in mind already.
I will say though that this is the last time I am cutting my hair out side of a trim for awhile. I want to do the Rapunzel thing next :)
