For months now been threatening to chop all my hair off. First it was falling out by the fist full (another lovely result of having a baby). Then it started falling out by Bennett fist-full when he learned to grab and yank. Ouch! I continued procrastinating though. I didn't know what I wanted done and I don't have a "hair person" so I didn't know where to go or who to see.
Recently it had gotten so long and heavy that my go-to hairstyle of a ponytail or messy knot was literally giving me headaches. A couple of Sundays ago I saw yet another friend with a cute new hair cut. When I commented on it she recommended her stylist and I called the next day.
Today I sat down with Lee and as he kindly asked me what I was looking for, if I'd seen any pictures I liked or what celebrities hair styles I envied I simply repeated my mantra "just take it off". I told him to feel free to do whatever he wanted with the caveat that it should not require maintenance other than regular washing.
It took a bit of convincing for him to understand that I really, REALLY didn't have an opinion other than "take it off". So he did! Almost 12 inches!
Here is a before picture to show how long my hair had gotten. I wasn't trying to grow it out...this is just what happens when you don't go to the salon for 9 or 10 months.
And after! Bennett seems to approve. Of course it may never look this pretty and shiny again, but it doesn't matter to me because although I like how it looks I love, love, LOVE how it feels!

Gorgeous! It looks just as pretty in person, too!
I actually don't know if you've ever had it that short. Looks good though, and shiny :)
