The Day After

Aww, shucks guys. Thankyou for the lovely comments 😳 Now, let’s see what I get called for haircut#2 (silly fool comes to mind). Just remember it’s partly OtherHalf’s fault for that “not much different” comment! Every time I have my hair cut any shorter than “really long”, I regret it the next day. Today is no exception. You would think I would have learned by now! There’s nothing really wrong with the cut, I’m still proud of the diy-ness of it. But I just don’t particularly love it.

Oh well. My hair grows like quicksilver, so it will back to photo#1 length in no time. In the meanwhile, it still looks pretty cute (thanks Jo :giggle: ) when I have it up in a ponytail.

Yes, Hello!

Up to this point, my appearance has been somewhat of a mystery (to you, dear reader, not so much to me). But now… ta-da, here I am! Don’t adjust your monitors, and no, this is not a sepia-toned photograph. Just call me Miss Brown. Brown hair, brown eyes, brown top :giggle:

Why am I posting this semi-stunned-mullet photograph of myself? Well… I just cut my own hair! Happydance! Due to hairdresser-phobia (there has got to be a long and impressive word for that), I’ve been wanting to try it for ages, but have been too chicken. Today I just figured well heck, why not! My hair is long enough that I would have plenty of leeway to get it fixed if I really stuffed up. And really, I only chopped an inch or two off it, so its hardly a dramatic change.

Not only is my hair pretty long, but it’s slightly layered at the ends, which made it really difficult to stuff up. I used ye olde ‘flip hair over head and cut straight’ method – leading to slightly choppier, more accentuated layers (the effect I was going for, honest). Then I tapered up the sides to my face. Now, I know in the pic it looks slightly uneven, but it’s really not, I promise. It’s the way I’m holding my head. Can I just say – taking your own photograph in the mirror is not as easy as it sounds! Believe it or not, this is the least of the stunned-mullet looking attempts.

I’m pretty happy with how it turned out (hair, not photograph). Not to mention more than happy with the price I charged myself :giggle:
