Before and after time.

So my stylist was REALLY hesitant to cut my hair so short. I talked her into it and I LOVE it. I didn't go as short in the front as Keira has it, but I think that the length that I have it in the front suits my face well. Let me know what you think

New ME!!
It was hard to get a picture that shows the back a little bit. But, the back is really short (for me)! I love it


These "after" pictures are after a  bit of drinken..so please forgive any slovenliness of my appearance. Even with my hair messed up (which is perfect for this style, really) I hope you get the idea of what my new style looks like.

I love it. Short hair is so frikkin sexy.

Agree!  WOW!

Looks amazing, congrats! If you dont like the length of the bangs this time, get them cut off next time.

I think it looks great as it is. Tuck it behind your ears and suse a little gel when you do. I think i also would take your bang a bit shorter. Angel the bangs to the sides with the bangs being noticably shorter near the part. I would not shorten up the back much at all. Looks great and Sexy.

What a great cut for you - it looks fab.  I'm sure after a few days with it - you'll know which area you'd like to tweak slightly :)

Hey Laurie! My friends seem to LOVE it. My fiance (fiancee?) thinks I look "hot." Most of my friends at school (i'm a grad student) are guys. Several of them have told me that they are partial to girls with short hair, so that's been very flattering. 

As for the maintainence...I had curly hair, so it was really wash and wear, but when I wanted to straighten it, it took forever. The whole blow-dry and flat-iron process took 30-45 minutes (I have really thick hair). With the short hair, it takes 15 minutes MAX. I just blow dry it (just with my fingers and the occasional round brush), smooth it with my flat iron (whatever's long enough to pinch with it) and rub some styling wax into it. 

It's not as fast as a ponytail (I don't own rubber bands so I would ALWAYS have to style my hair. I hate lazy hair), but the style payoff is well worth it.

When I was in college, I never would have dreamt of cutting my hair short.  I actually did some modeling right after college and one of my selling points was my long hair. But things change and I am in the business world where good impressions are important.  One of the partners at my firm is really pushing my career and I have a shot at a management role over the next year or so. But I have to look the part, right now I look like one of the interns. 

I finally got my hair cut this morning. OMG it is it really short, especially in the back.  Not boy short but close.  I am not sure I like it, actually I don't, but I want to be open minded. My boyfriend says he likes it alot which is a good thing.  I am going out for a quick jog with bf and then it is off to my parents for dinner. I think they are in for a big surprise. I will be showing up with my trademark cap on, but the ponytail is history.  This is going to take a lot of getting used.  I can give you details over the next couple days. 

I am working on the pictures, I'll post some during the week.

I also had to convince my stylist to cut it short, but it turns out he is a fan of short hair, so not all that much convincing needed.  After looking at some pictures we decided on a short shag.  He really took his time with the haircut. He started by cutting it a bit above the shoulders with some layers and long bangs. Then he started to cut it shorter on the sides, but just a little at a time. He kept asking me if I was OK and I would say yes and then he would take it a little shorter.  The final result is a very short layered cut. I changed the part so it is parted on the side now.  The bangs are just above the eyes. The sides and back are really short, the hair just covers the top of my ears and the back is an inch or so above the collar. I don't think I have any hair that is more than two inches long.  He gave me a really good haircut.  My parents said it looked really good and my boyfriend really likes it too. When I was at the mall tonight I got the usual glances from the cute guys so that made me feel good. I feel better about the cut than I did this afternoon, but this is going to take a lot of getting used. When I look in the mirror I look so different, I can hardly beleive it is me. So it is back to work on Monday with the new haircut and then off on vacation next weekend.

I did it !!!

I am already starting to like it although not 100% yet. I feel much better about my decision than I did yesterday. I have been getting really positive feedback from everyone. My mother actually said it looks fantastic and she always gives me honest feedback.  Today I have it brushed around my ears for more of a sleek look. I am thinking of keeping it this way as I like the look better.  The guy that cut my hair wants me to come back in March to trim it up free of charge.  I might ask him to go a little shorter on the sides, but I am not sure yet. I have got to say preping in the morning is MUCH easier, I think it is saving me at least twenty minutes.
