De-Hairing

I've been itching to cut my hair for awhile and Jason's time off has been the perfect excuse to get so very many things done. So, hair cut time it was.

I didn't really know what I wanted. I don't care THAT much about my hair, only that I don't spend my time on my hair aside from washing it. So, I couldn't tell the stylist what I was looking for only to say, I want it shorter...maybe shoulder length...and something that looks like it has a style even if I don't do anything to it.

She was like, "Tell me what you DON'T want" and she went from there.

Um, I don't want this:

I'm looking frumpy on purpose for my unhappy "Before" shot.

So, she did her thing, it didn't take long at all. On the way home I wasn't sure I liked it and I was afraid to show it to my "But-I-Like-Your-Hair-Long" hubby. And, to top it off I had an hour and a half drive home thanks to the sudden snowstorm. Grrr. It took forever.

But, turns out, Jason seems to like my haircut, and looking back at the "Before" pic he agreed it was truly time for an 'update'. :) He's been very complimentary which makes me like my new 'do even more, of course.

You're probably wanting an "After" picture...well, here it is, complete with Jason trying to get in the shot too:

He saw it and said, "that's actually a cute picture of you, sorry for trying to ruin it". My silly hubs.

Luckily the boys still recognized me too...

I have yet to wash it or {not} do it myself...so we'll see how it goes and if I keep liking it. For now I do. I was none too pleased with my longer hair. But I had it that way for Jason. He likes it long when I straighten it which is never. So, it's gonna be short for awhile now and I'm glad.

Edited to add: Here it is when I "do" it myself which means, briefly towel dry, then run my wide toothed comb through it and part it:
