Dear Readers,
I’m a chicken when it comes to changing my hair. Once I find something that I think works for me, I’ll go on like that for years. Get ready for more pictures of me in one post than all the others I’ve ever posted combined, because here’s a very boring recap of the last four years of my hair:
Early 2007; Natural Hair Color
Late 2007/Early 2008 with my friend Mandi, not long after I chopped it all off for Locks of Love (so I think this is my natural hair color?). I kept letting it grow until...
May 2009, with my friend Chelsey, when it had gotten this long, and I was definitely already using Henna.
February 2011, a week or so ago, with my niece Audrey. Over Christmas break I decided I was sick of my long hair and wanted a drastic change, so I got four or five inches cut. That turned out to be not so drastic after all.
So now I’m in a haircut rut (har har). I want to do something awesome, but I don’t have a lot of money to spend on a sweet haircut (grad school, remember?), and I’m not so sure I’m ready to go boy-short, no matter how tempting every photo I see of Michelle Williams is.
I think my forehead is too small to pull this off; I've been told I actually have a threehead. But, boy, doesn't she look dreamy?
I’m tempted to say the solution might be the bob-ish hairstyle I’m sporting in picture #2, but I suspect I may only be saying that because I was so thin and that dress (which didn’t fit last time I checked) was dress was so cute. An additional note: Sometime between pictures #2 and #3 I started wearing my glasses full-time, and I think that might further complicate the situation. As I’m sure you’re aware of, the combination of a nose ring and thick-frame glasses means I’ve got a lot going on around my face, so I don’t want to complicate things too much with a flashy haircut. I can’t even wear headbands most of the time because I overwhelm myself every time I look in the mirror. To make matters worse, my hair grows very quickly, and my dear friend Allie just chopped all of her hair off, and it looks awesome, so I don’t want to look like a copycat (especially a poor one).
So, readers, as you can see this is quite a sticky situation. To make matters worse, my roots are about an inch long, so my hair should probably be colored within the next few day (but if I’m going to cut it, I’d like to do so first, because coloring all this hair is really a hassle). Take pity on me by offering up your sage advice, and I’ll repay you with plenty of pictures of whatever I decide to do (no matter how it turns out!). Thanks in advance.
