kellygirl, I will add a post below with a better sense of the color - there's finally some sunlight today.
LaPed yes, my hair is naturally wavy. I try to enhance it, but apparently I've been fighting it for years in the front by scraping it back into a pony tail. I've been ordered not to pull it back anymore, which is good - I feel now with this cut that I can enjoy the shape and texture of my hair, which I never do when it's long because I just pull it back.

lyn67, I will try to get my husband to take a picture of the back.
bijou, yes, I can't wait to get it later this week!
bonnie - Amen! I even get to see my mom soon too, after almost a year and a half!
Jenn- yes, it's shaping up to be a good year! I mean, anything b eats last year, but this one seems particularly good so far.
minaminu- I found a great new hairdresser who was really willing to talk to me and advise me. Thrilled with the result, though I do need to adjust to the bangs - it's been almost 30 years, and the bangs I had the first time were... not great.
Style Fan - mais oui, French bob was the idea!
