So my hair and I have been going through some issues lately. After shaving the other side, I Just kept wearing it in a braid all the time. I was so torn because I really loved the edgy feel that the shaved sides gave it, and I adored the look and feel of no hair around my face, but I never felt great wearing it down, so I just ended up feeling like I didn't have a real hair style - the hair itself wasn't really showing. I finally asked my hair dresser to cut it shorter in the hopes that I could wear it down more, but the result of that was feeling like I had totally lost the edge. I felt blah and frumpy most of the time. So last week I went in and said "either I made a mistake in asking you to change it, or we didn't go far enough." We decided to just go for it and I got the shortest cut yet. He got creative with the color as well and gave me a darker toner so it now has a silvery lavender tone to it. I finally feel like myself again! This gives me everything that the shaved sides and braid gave me, but in an actual hair style. I have a feeling this one will be around for a while. The search is over!
Photo 1: first side shaved
Photo 2: second side shaved but not visible, and the top had grown out significantly. It drove me nuts to wear it down like this!
Photo 3: my happiest - back in a braid with both sides shaved.
Photo 4: my unhappiest - sides growing out and the top shorter
Photo 5: the new me!
Photo 6: front view - for some reason it doesn't translate as well in a straight front shot and the color didn't come through in this photo (previous photo is the truer color) but you get the idea...
