Bye Bye Long Hair.......

I did it again.  I chopped off all of my hair.

No. This is not the "Mom" haircut that all Mom's do.  I guess it looks like that because it was so drastic and because it was so much hair.  But that's not why I cut it.

I chopped all of my hair off almost 2 years ago(click on "again" above) and gave it to Locks of Love.  I liked it short so much that I decided I wanted to keep it that way.   But I also liked donating so much that I decided I would also try to grow it out during pregnancy (since hair grows faster) so that I could donate again.

Then the pregnancy happened and I grew it out and I gained 46 pounds and my face was a giant swollen ball and I couldn't cut it short until I lost most/all of my baby weight.

I was/am 3 pounds away from my pre pregnancy weight and decided it was time.

So, chop chop chop and I'm left with VERY VERY short hair.  A good 1-2 inches shorter than my first time.  But, in order to donate I had to go that short. 

Before 

During
After

I love the way it feels, but am not sure if I like how it looks.  I feel like I look older and I don't feel as pretty.  And I was finally starting to feel like my face was looking pretty again after loosing the weight.  I think it needs to grow out another inch.  I'm enjoying the super short hair washing shower time and the fast styling.

I love your new hair cut!! I think it looks great ... and actually has a more youthful kick to it :) I bet it will grow on you!

I think it looks so pretty, especially FREE! It suits your face! And it is so nice that you donate the hair, that is wonderful! Tim at Fort Thompson, his little girl just did the same! She was hoping her friend would get it but that probably won't happen, but was so generous!

I LOVE it. Very nice. I'm way to impatient to wait for my hair to get long enough for locks of love. I get sick of it and have to chop it waaaay before then. Maybe one day.
