Hair Today Gone Tomorrow

BEFORE:
AFTER:
The good news is that this isn't the worst hair cut I've had. Anyone remember the Heidi Klum fiasco? If not click here.
My nine inches of hair is safely enveloped and waiting to be addressed. I just hope that Pantene will be able to use it.
Initial reactions:
  • "Wow. You just aged five years."
  • "It's okay. You just need more product."
  • "I just want to know why." (Jamie)
  • "It's ugly." (Gavin)
  • " I want my hair cut!" (Laynie in tears)

It's done. It will grow back. It's too short to pull up in a pony tails (there are some really short layers). But it's all for a good cause, right? RIGHT?

Bec, I think you look just great. You are a lucky woman, who no matter what, is still beautiful. My goodness, the worst would be a shaved head. I invisioned it would be shorter, but it won't be in no time you that it will be grown back. I get a little teary when I think of your willingness to donate it to "Pantene". The love you have will only travel in every strand to the lucky person who will be the recepient. Now for the comments of the family, it is probably a change for them to see the locks cut off. They will get used to it. I love you Bec.

Becky, I really, really like it. Think it looks great, even if you hadn't done it for a great cause.

Becky- I love it! Remember when I cut it that short! I actually really liked it but it made it to hard for work. But now mine is really long so it won't take your hair that long to grow back out and maybe you will decide to keep it short. For me it was less work all I had to do was blow it out no styling had to be done! It really does look cute and I like it!

I think it looks good...you're always too hard on yourself, by the way. You're lucky--you look great with long and short hair.

FYI the girl that cut my hair knew exactly what she was doing. She put it in three small pony tails so that my "After" would have a more even cut. So if anyone out there is considering donating, that's the way to do it!

For the record, I think it's super-cute!!

It WILL grow back!! I shaved my head once, so I know all about that long wait. Unfortunately I cut it off, in such small increments, I could not make a donation. Go you for the gift! Someone will love it!

Emma said...

Good for you..... Hair will always grow and why not try something new!

In my defense I did not say it was just okay. I did say that it was cute, sassy, but needed some more product to make it a bit more choppy. Which you did and now you are rockin' the layered locks. Super cute with your red belt on Sunday F.Y.I.

Paul did say it made you look older. But he married an "older" woman so it must be a good thing.
