Whip my Hair

by Mandy Weger on June 23, 2011

Ever since the wedding, oh, eight months ago, I’ve said nearly every week “I should get a haircut.”

But I never did, and my hair just kept growing and growing and then…it kind of became a mess.

Please excuse the poor computer-webcam quality of the image.  I’m in the process of learning how to use my tripod so I can take proper pictures of myself and post them everywhere.

Sooo, yeah, it was just a little too long.  The longest it had ever been, in fact!  Traditionally, I’ve kept my hair fairly short:

So I thought it was time to go back to that.  Especially since I tend to be the kind of person who doesn’t schedule salon appointments until I absolutely *have* to.  If I go shorter, it means I go longer in between hair appointments!  Sounds good to me.

Since I’m now free on the weekdays, I also pretty much had no excuse to put this off any longer.

Ready to see my summer cut?

It’s always SO nervewracking to get my hair cut.  I’ve had such nightmare stories with my hair and tend not to trust ANYONE with it.   All in all, I like it!  It feels much more “me” than the long hair did.  The long hair felt more like an experiment than a real hairstyle, and it was getting ridiculously hot to wear it down.

Do you get your hair cut often, or do you let it go until you can’t take it anymore?  Do you usually change your hair for summer?

    I love it!!!! As you know, I change my hair completely every, I dunno, 3 months? Lol I think my hair has been 6 different colors and lengths since that photo of me above was taken. But I do tend to keep it longish until I get sick of it and then I hack it off, which is more like once a year. Haha. Can’t wait to see your new summer cut on Sunday!

    It looks so great!! I’ve been growing my hair out forever, but I still don’t want to cut it. I get brave and think about bangs, but then I sit in the hairstylist’s chair and say “just a trim” I’m so lame!

    It looks super cute! :) I’m the same way about getting my hair cut – I’ve been burned a few times in the past, and my hair grows painfully slowly. Maybe that’s why I’ve let mine grow long & only gotten trims for the past 2 years?!
