Over due pics of my new...do

Last week I had a haircut. She looked at my hair and asked me what I wanted. Knowing and trusting her completely I shrugged and said: whatever you want to do. She smiled and said: I want to make it short.

In my mind I hesitated for a moment, but before I could stop myself I heard my own voice: sure go ahead! The thought of it not being good, and me waiting anxiously for it to grow out, struck me for a moment. Only for a brief moment. Then I reminded myself that this woman knew what she was doing.

I have to honest, normally whenever I get a new haircut, it takes me a week or so to get used to it and like it. This haircut, I loved instantly. The only thing bothering me is that I didn't take the pics right after the haircut. These were taken today and my feeble attempts to somewhat recreate the awesome do she made were futile.


So take a look at this hair and imagine it a lot better-looking, more edgy and lovely. *sigh* well, she ain't a hairdresser for nothing, eh? I better invest in a proper straightening iron, not the antiquity of a brick I have.








The back of my head. As you can see it's quite short, then it gets longer as it nears my jawline. Sorry for the bad quality, it was taken on my mom's macbook, since I still can't find my camera.
Yup, this is how happy I am with my do!
Oh yeah... btw, I grew out my eyebrows again. All of it. It took me a long time to grow out the ends but I managed to do it eventually. I will never ever overpluck again. It looked awful on me!

That's the cut I used to get when I was in school (ban on haif length: no longer than shirt collar). But it was my mum that did it! ;)

Thanks you guys! It took me an entire lifetime to find one. My friend introduced me to this one last year and told me she had used the same her entire life and could nothing but praise her. Her hair was always lovely so I gave it a shot. The firts two times I said: do whatever but keep it long enough for me to pull into a ponytail (just in case) now after I know her better and what she's capable og, I feel confident to put my hair in her hands...

Ahhh i have hairdresser phobia after the last haircut.. she chopped off more than I asked for, and i only asked for a "trimmed" GRR!

You're so lucky you trust your hairdresser so much :)

i like your new 'do. it's cute and refreshing. perfect for summer!

carol said...

oh, btw, what straightening tool do you have? I've been using the same one for years made by CHI (pun not intended). Mine is the 3-inch one because my hair used to be long and thick, but they also have 1-inch tools much suited for shorter hair.

At the oment I haven't any. I just apply some straigthening balm in my palms, rub them together and then apply it in my hair before I blowdry. My hair is usually quite striahgt. I've got my eye one the ghd straightener now in white. It looks awesome but there's a waiting list and I'm on it. The hairdresser used it on me and the results were magnificent. Can't wait to get it!
