New Hair Cut~

Okay so I was definitely not going to write a blog daily but I just had to update you guys on my hair. I shaved the side last night! People who know me, know I love long hair and I hate when people who have longer hair cut it off. (I really don't hate it, just know how annoying the growing back processes is so every time my friend Allison says she's cutting her hair, I disown her for five minutes.)

Time for a confession... I have this thing called hair A.D.D. where I cannot keep a style for very long b/c I constantly need "hair change". I would color my hair repeatedly every few months and I'll suddenly want a short cut or bangs and try and talk myself out of it. The last time I chopped my hair off, I was slightly devastated at first. I'm not sure why b/c my hair had been super short when I graduated high school but maybe b/c it was a symbolic move where I was shedding my past! Such a great move b/c then my hair was so healthy and I eventually got the hang of it. However, I quickly got bored and the idea of it being long suddenly became the most important goal ever.... (in my fashion world list of goals lol). So I grew it out....and didn't take care of it at all...and it was down my back and suddenly breaking all over the place b/c of my need for an ombre even though my ends were bad. (rolls eyes) So I started trimming it and right before mother's day I had chopped a good two or three inches off.... I now had the struggle bun...sigh.  Any who, I saw this picture of this singer Cher Lloyd with the side cut and all of a sudden I couldn't shake the idea of shaving the side of my head. I have a friend who has it and she gets these really cool designs and she looks adorable with it. I had thought about it before but forced the idea out of my head. All of a sudden now I had to have this style. Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I did it! I wasn't scared. I was excited. I wore my hair pinned back for a few days to get the feel of it and I knew it would be great. I went to this girl I know, a friend of a friend and she hooked me up. I don't even know how she put up with me b/c my hair was so dirty and I was morty but she kept telling me I was fine and we laughed at the direction my hair was growing. At first she shaved off the side and we both just kinda looked around... it didn't even look different. All that anticipation of a cut being really daring flew out the window.... I'm like "this is it??" I didn't feel different at all lol. We both thought adding lines or designs would definitely help me get my wow factor. She added two lines and I was super excited and it felt like I had done something! lol When I went home I washed it and roller set it all over again b/c it was so dirty... she shoulda kicked me out the salon... ugghh lol.
Here's the finished look...

When I told a few people I wanted to do this, I got a lot of negative feedback... And I was like wow, I don't even understand why anyone would even care. It's my hair. I knew I wasn't shaving half my head off like Cassie but I thought that it wasn't a big deal. Not only is it just hair but it isn't going to change me as a person. I am not my hair! Or maybe I am.... I'm creative... I'm myself..... I always up for change. Moral of the story, Do You! Do what makes you happy. My hair cut or piercings or need for crafting (lol) are only a small part of who I am. If people don't like it then oh well! I love it! My MOM likes it.....that's my approval there. I feel like so many of us are so scared to be ourselves. Me included at times. At the age of "almost thirty" I should be able to do what I want and it shouldn't even set anyone's radar off....  Well, for the most part lol. I also learned that sometimes it's better to just do things without telling people. Let them see the finished product b/c sometimes it's hard to picture what someone else is trying to do! Hopefully I'm an inspiration to someone reading this who is having that inner struggle with being themselves. I go through it daily despite what other's may think.

Here's Cher Lloyd..

A great friend once told me lol....

Hope every enjoys there day and does something exciting today!
