My Haircut: November 8, 2102

Today I got a haircut.

Phase 1 in taking back my life.  I wanted to feel pretty, I wanted to feel pampered.  I wanted to take care of me.  So I made a makeover consult with a great friend.  This was perhaps impulsive or perhaps not so impulsive, but the results of many years of suppression.  In either case, the results are the same...I LOVE it!  When I asked her how much I owed her, she refused.  She told me that I deserved it, and what's more, she convinced me that I did.  Thank you Jen!

First she cut off my ponytail.




Then she colored my hair.



After having the solutions rinsed out of my hair (during which time there were a couple of moments of downright anticipatory panic, like when I held the almost white strands of my hair in my hand and wondered..."What was I thinking???"  Or the first time that I touched the length of it at the nape of my neck.) she proceeded to cut, blow dry, and straighten my hair.  Here is the end result.



I totally Love it!
