Day 34: A New Do

I've had my hair short most of my life; first as a child, because my mother said I kept getting gum and candy stuck in it, and later as an adult because it's just easier to care for when it's short. I have thick hair and while it has a wave, there's not enough curl in it to keep me from having to dry and style it, and it can be time-consuming. I found a flippy style that worked for me but after a couple of years wearing it the same way on and off I was ready for something different. My friends will tell you that I'm quite fickle when it comes to my hair, both color and cut. Last week I discovered that my layers had grown out enough to be shaped into a short layered bob so off to the hairdresser I went. I have had so many compliments on my hair since I had it cut! I might even let it grow a bit longer and see how it looks. (And can I just comment on how hard it is to take a good self-portrait? Sheesh! I must have taken almost 30 shots to get just one that I sort of liked.)

  1. LOL - self portraits are always a pain!! This one, however, is quite good, I think. And I REALLY like your new hairstyle - looks very good on you!
