My New Haircut

So I've majorly failed at posting in this blog but now my plan is to just post regularly and catch you up on what the whole adventure has been like (the word roller coaster comes to mind). So for this post (paying homage in the title to this little youtube tidbit. And in rewatching this for the first time in about two years I realize the guy in the bar looks like Pauly D muahahaha!), I'll do a little reveal of my new haircut.

So for those of you that knew me before the cut (aka most), you'll remember that my long hair looked a little like this:

And for those of you didn't know me before "the cut" and haven't creeped through my pics on Facebook, that's what I chopped off.

So why did I decide to do this? A couple of reasons:
1. The last chicky that cut my hair at Kara's in Halifax mangled the ends of it and made it thin and straggly. That coupled with being in Europe for seven weeks and wearing my hair up about 97% of the time in some sort of messy bun kind of destroyed it.
and 2. Louisiana is FREAKING HOT AND HUMID!!! Aka long hair + Newfoundlander + 35 degrees on the humidex in September = need for short hair

So in an arduous Google search I decided on this as a template:

And I think my fave part of the whole process was the reaction from my hairdresser once she saw this picture along with the words "are you sure???!!!"; and yes I heard that punctuation in her voice. *side note: Leanne, my hairdresser at home is by far the best I've ever gone to. If you're ever around Harbour Grace, head up to Radiance and see Leanne!! end plug*

Three hours and some highlights later, this was the result:

NO HAIRS LEFT!! But I love it, and even if I didn't, at least it's functional and hair grows back so whatever.
