The New Haircut

Well I did it.

I went in to my hairdressers and asked him to cut my hair off. He seemed excited for the chance while I was shaking. Trying to remind myself that it is just hair.

Anyways I didn't go with the style I posted, i choose something that has more volume up top cause my thin hair needs it lol. Although I can't get the volume my hairdresser was able to get...yet. I'm working on it.

Be nice! I'm still not used to my hair being short and when I look in the mirror I still do a double take but so far I'm liking it. I like that it doesn't take a long time to do my hair, I like that I had the balls to cut my hair off!

I'm worried about what to do to grow it out (I think I am going to stick with short hair for awhile though) when I choose too. But I think what I might do is get the short hairstyle I was going to get in the other post because it matches my old hair a little more. That's the plan I have for now anyways.

It is weird to not have hair everywhere, I still move my "hair" out of my face when I eat or sleep and then get really happy that there is no hair to move! I also need to remember that I do not need the same amount of shampoo and conditioner anymore lol.

Many people wont like my hair, I'm sure of it. I will get the "Your hair was better longer" etc talk but you know what? Screw 'em! It's my hair, my head! I LIKE my hair. I had a hard time telling myself that with long hair or short my head was still huge. Once I accepted that I felt a lot more ready to go ahead with it.

Like I said, the only problem I am having now is styling it. I am not used to styling my hair, I always had my hair straight or curled (and curled was just some gel and off I go). I never used sculpting gel or hairspray before so I'm still figuring out how much to use and how to move the hair the way I want. That I...ME...can actually make my hair move and style the way I want. It's an odd feeling.

I called my mom up yesterday after my haircut and this is what was said:

Me: I did something today
Mom:What? You got a tattoo *sigh*
Me:No but I wish!
Mom: A piercing!! *louder sigh*
Me: I cut all my hair off!
Mom: You shaved your head!! (cue hysteria)
Me: Noooo! Just got it cut really really short.
Mom: How short?
Me:Short
Mom:Really? (acceptance) And?
Me: I like it...I think. It's...it's different. I'm glad I did it though. After thinking about it for over a year it was about time.
Mom: Well I'll see it next weekend right!?
Me: Yup! Now I just need to go get a new piercing!
Mom: NO!! No more holes in your body!!
Me: *laughing*


My poor mom. I traumatize her too much :)

O and this weekend I'm dyeing my hair lol. I think it needs to be darker with the length it is now.

New hair?

For the longest time I wanted short short hair. I want to try it at least once in my life but I just couldn't muster up the guts to do it.

This summer I did cut my hair the shortest it's ever been on me but I wanted shorter. Thing is, I have a round face. A very round face and my whole life I have always been told to never go short when you have a round face, it will just make you look fatter. So I never cut my hair short. For the last 4 years or so I have been sticking with the bob and I am sick of it. I've gotten bored with it and although I could grow it out, I hate the amount of time it takes to style long hair.

So here is a picture of one of my bobs I have had:

I do like it but like I said it's the same damn hair cut I have been getting for 4 years. I'm over it.


Here is the shortest I have ever cut my hair

It took awhile to get used to. Marc said it looked good and I did get some compliments.


Here is what my hair looks like now, about2-3 months after that hair cut above. My hair is a mess right now, I have layers going every which way!

BORING

Ok, so here is the cut I have been thinking of:

So, what do you think? Should I just stick with the bob? Get that short hair cut above? Get something else? I want to get this done really soon, like yesterday soon so I'm aiming for next week.

Hair Saga

I am a blonde. I used to have see through blonde hair but by the time I dyed it for the first time it was more of a dirty blonde. But still very blonde. I looked horrible. I was so washed out. I keep telling my mom that something went wrong when my dad and her conceived me because I should have been a red head. My dad was a red head! But no I got stuck with blonde.

Even Marc has never seen my nautral hair colour. And I actually think that is a little sad.

I started dyeing my hair at around the age of 15. I had done a perm two years before (o god that was horrendous!) so I figured dyeing my hair wouldn't be that bad. I asked my mom about it and she agreed but only if it was a natural colour (browns, reds, other blondes, almost black). We were going to go with a brown colour but we decided to try out red. Well it was like an Auburn red (I can't remember the colour). It actually looked good! I had a moment where I flipped out when my mom said "OMG your hair is PURPLE!!!!" cause you know the wet dye turns purple, but I did not know this. She has not let that one go and I'm 24 :P.

So from the age of 15 to my current age of 24 I have tried every friggin colour of red out there. Sometimes it looks bad and I go back to a "safe" red, sometimes it looks really good. But lately I have been wanting my blonde hair back, maybe not forever, but I want to see it again. I look at old pictures and I miss the blonde. Thing is I have no efffin clue on how to go about going back to my blonde roots. I know it will never be the same blonde it was, hell I might not have blonde hair again (my mom went from blonde to brown in her twenties) but I'd like to see it. And when my roots come in I can see the blonde, so I'm hopeful that I still have some blonde under the almost 10 years of red dye. I have been asked if I had grey hair, my roots are so damn blonde.

I don't know if I have to bleach or what. I'm scared of bleaching my hair and I don't think my hairdresser will let me. I have thin thin hair so I think it will fall out. And I don't want to just grow it out. That will take for.ever. and look like crap. I'm thinking of maybe just dyeing my hair lighter shades but I tried that. This is the red I am currently and this is the red I have tried to lighten my hair. The copper blonde didn't do to well. It did lighten it a bit but it was too coppery.

Copper Blonde (taken maybe a month ago)








Hmm now that I see that picture with the copper blonde I kinda like it. Or maybe I am just crazy. Also I miss that length of hair (grow faster hair...FASTER!)

Anyways, I am not sure what to do. When I enter the beauty section of any store I immediately start whimper inside. It's like I entered an unknown world and I just want to crawl into the nearest corner and shake. I mean look I can't even do my makeup! I'm a complete mess when it comes to hair and face stuff.

So what should I do? How do I go about going blonde without killing my hair? Also I don't have a lot of money right now so it has to be on the semi cheap.

Cat bellies and Indiana Jones

Today is Canada Day. What does that involve at my place? Relaxing, BBQing and beer. Maybe some wine, but mostly beer.

I have my youngest brother up for a few days. We took him to the Indiana Jones exhibit at the Montreal Science Centre, and it was amazing! I totally geeked out. I loved seeing the actual props and some actual archaeological finds. The only thing that bugged me was that we were not allowed to take pictures :(, and there were a lot of kids :P. But I would soooo go back, just because! They even had Indy hats for sale, I would have gotten one (and yes I would have worn it) but they were too small. The adult sizes were kids sizes. Or maybe I have some kind of freak giant head.......hmmmmmm. I did get a book though :)

Besides all that I got a hair cut. My hair is now really short, at least the shortest it has ever been on me. I'm still getting used to it, styling it is a little harder but I think in a few more days I will be more at ease with it.

I saw my mom on Wednesday and she has a task for me....I have to paint some things for her. I hate painting. I haven't painted in years. I remember my mom sending me to classes and I quit after a few weeks. She was not pleased. So I guess I will be hitting up google to look for instructions on how to paint flowers :P

So here are some pictures of my hairs, my book (teehee) and some shots of my cats bellies....cause they are so damn cute:
