8 inches.

So Saturday I cut off 8 inches of my hair! Actually more than that since first 8 inches were cut off in a ponytail and then the real hair cut began. And actually it wasn't me doing the cutting,(if that wasnt obvious)  but my fabulous hair dresser.  I had been planning on maybe 4-5 inches, which would still have been a big change for me, but then when my hair dresser said if I just did a few inches more I could donate it so I thought why the heck not. It's only a few more months of growing it out, plus then someone gets a wig out of my locks. I did it once before (cut off 10 inches that time!) and it was a great feeling, even though i HATED my hair and I looked like a 7 year old.  These were kind of my 'inspiration' for what I was kind of wanting. Though I realize they aren't even the same hair styles. But it's sort of the length I thought I wanted.  I also realize I look nothing like either of these beauties! Though I did have someone tell me ONCE, yes only once, that I look liked Penelope Cruz. 

Drew snapped a quick 'before' picture as I was heading out the door. Which is a miracle in itself that he decided one was needed. I think he was sad to see those long locks go. 

And here's the after..thats my oh shit what did I do face...

And then the next day with my hair about to be donated..

I'm still getting used to it, and I think I will love it in maybe two months when it's just a bit longer. But I do feel better about it knowing at least someone is getting a wig out of it! Have you ever chopped your hair off and regretted it? n
