PWC v. 3.0
Nov 19th, 2008 by Ali
The other day, I got my hair cut AGAIN. I know- it’s a crazy addiction. I’ve gotten my hair cut at least five times this year! That’s a record! Well, after this last one, I vow not to cut my hair for another year, but that will take a lot of care on my part to make sure my hair is moisturized and etcetera. If you know me, you know I rarely 1) comb my hair, 2) moisturize, and 3) use product. Any hairstylist I go to says I should take care of my hair more, especially since I bring my hair to them all coarse and bleh. Here’s a review on the recent change.
My hair before. I had uber-long hair. I came to Orlando with medium length hair, and had let it grow out for the last four years. I really loved having long hair. I didn’t have to get a hair cut often, and I got to leave it long for the wedding. I like to think I have awesome long hair, but most of the time, it looks dry and frizzy. My fault.
My first PWC (post-wedding chop) was less than two weeks after the above picture was taken. I hated it. I got five inches taken off, but it was still long. And it was horrible.
My second haircut was in August. A LOT was cut off. It was cute most of the time, but the layers freaked me out.
My hair had grown to shoulder length since August, and I wanted to cut it shorter. My third (and technically, fourth) haircut was the other day. I went back again to get it fixed because it turned out too blunt the first time around. Here’s what the first haircut looked like. It doesn’t look bad, maybe my negative response to it was only in my head, but I thought it was too bulky at the bottom. Thick hair does not emulate the hairstyles that people with nice thin hair have too well.
I went back the next morning and had it cut some more AND thinned. I had never had my hair thinned before. The hairstylist listerally cut off 50% of my hair from the inner layers, and it was so much thinner (a good thing in my case). All in all, including the hair cut off from under my hair, about ten inches went. And this is what I look like now. You can’t really tell my hair has been thinned so much. I had to take off my glasses because the sun was messing with my $5 anti-reflection, mwahahaha. I have an extremely round head.
