Hair Update

I have realized that the time has come for me to liberate myself from the pernicious myth that femininity equals long hair. So I went to my salon and had my hair cut shorter than I’ve had it at any time in the past 23 years. It’s been blow-dried, so the extent of the shortness cannot be fully appreciated right now. After I wash it the next time, though, it will form a curly cloud around my head and will probably not even reach my shoulders.

I feel very grown up.

      I think I’ll have to post pictures after I wash the hair and it gets all curly and REALLY short.

      Oooh, maybe photos from my birthday celebration next week.

    Yay, a post that’s not about evil parents abusively homeschooling their kids! My hair is curly too and I find it’s almost impossible to deal with when it gets much longer than my shoulders. I never blowdry it, though… that would be, like, abusive to my hair. 🙂

      – I hear you! I never put any product on it because I’m afraid of messing with it.

    I need to get a haircut. It gets in my face when I’m trying to take photographs and is in general just a pain in the neck. Short hair rocks.

      Well, if you can have a beard every now and then, I should be able to have a grown woman haircut. 🙂 🙂

        It is always good to change one’s style (my haircut changes every week… not to talk about my beard).

        I want to see the new you!

    Does your head feel lighter? That was one of the most glorious things about cutting a couple feet of my hair off.
