Surprise Christmas Pixie

My hair had been long all my life - nearly waist length - however I was told a couple of weeks ago that due to too much home colouring I needed to have at least 8" cut off. My boyfriend and I started looking through hair mags for styles. My boyfriend found the attached link and half joking and half serious suggested that's how I should cut my hair. He said as a positive all my dyed hair would be shorn off!!!

Yesterday we walked through the snow to the salon and I had it all cut off. My hair is sooooo short, but the stylist did a perfect job and I'm so thrilled with how I look. I'm totally unrecognisable from my long hair past, my boyfriend said he wouldn't have recognised me if he hadn't watched it being cut off.

I haven't told my mother yet, and I'm due to arrive at my parents (home) for Christmas on Christmas Eve - all my grand parents, aunts, uncles, brothers etc will already be there. So do i warn them about my dramatic new look before or turn up as a surprise Christmas Pixie?

Well the link is a beautiful cut...if you look any where close to the model, your boyfriend is one lucky guy.

My BF was attracted to the cut because he did think the model looked like me, I personally couldn't see it!
It became obvious that this was how he wanted my hair cut but I wasn't so sure. Lots of girls out there are going to start screaming at me now - but I told him that if he came to the salon with me, I'd have my hair cut exactly as he wanted - I love him!
The stylist cut my hair, showed me the finished cut in the mirror - she had left a bit of length in the nape - he had that cut off!
I was thrilled at the result - my eyes, my cheekbones! I have now copied the models makeup, especially eye and I do look like a clone!

Same here loveshorthair! I really love this cut

You'll learn to love getting your haircut eventually and actually look forward to your next visit to the salon.  You could always do the "Full Moon" haircut thing; there's something magical about getting a haircut during a full moon and it occurs every four weeks.
