OK, I've been a slacker with length shots, so here we go....



Lately I've been rinsing my hair with a Tbls of Apple Cider Vinegar and 16oz of water.  It leaves my hair silky smooth, better than conditioner....kinda crazy!  I'm guessing I will be at my next stop - APL - in January sometime.  BSL will come by late summer '11!

Wow your hair looks great. Looks like you didn't have to go for that trim? Thank you again for the update.

Thanks everybody!Embarrassed

I haven't had my hair trimmed since mid-July.  I will have a small trim in December, just to clean up the ends.  It won't take any length off to speak of.  My layers are starting to get a little wonky/uneven, so I can tell it's about time. 

Mostly likely the layers are growing at different rates from me using Monistat on specific areas and not all over.Ermm

Well......I have a BIG change and I'm sure some will not be happy with that change.  However, I LOVE IT!!  Over the past 2.5 years I kept saying to myself every few months.... I'll like my hair better when it's longer.  I was only 4" away from my goal length and I still wasn't TRULY liking my hair.  In all honesty, 4 more inches would not have made me love my hair anymore.....I'm a shorty at heart.  Short hair matches my face, my personality, my sassy nature. 

I just had it cut yesterday.  Sooooooooooooooo....here's the big reveal!





I can still wear cute hair toys....YAY!!

WOW! I love it! I have to say I haven't seen a style on you that didn't look good. It's not about the length, it's about having a style that works for you and alot of women don't.

    Big%20smile Hey Jenn!! Thanks for the nice photos. Not every woman is meant to wear long hair. You surprised many people, I'll bet, during the several years that you stayed the course. Naturally, *I* wished that you loved your long hair more, but I'm happy for the pleasure that your new hairdo gives you. Happy New Year!! Bob Wink

Awww thanks everybody - especially for being so supportive.  You guys ROCK!  Heck BOB, I surprised myself with how long I held out before cutting..LOL!

We saw friends last night and they loved my new cut too.  I think they are happy to have "funky" Jenn back...hehe.  Anyway, I feel like 2011 is going to be an awesome year and what a great way to start it off!

Happy New Year everyone!!!party

Your new look is fantastic. Good for you to have the courage to cut your hair so much shorter. Well done Jenn.

~blush~ Thank you JOJO!

Hi everyone!  I haven't checked in for awhile but thought I would share.

I've decided to stop using Henna to color my hair.  Especially since it's short - easier to grow that out.  I cut off the long side.  It's still a little asymmetric but not quite so drastic.  Maybe I can get a pic up soon.

Now, here's the CRAZY part!  I'm thinking about letting it grow out to an angled bob.....I think I'm losing my mind....LMAO!  Maybe my hair is my mid-life crisis since I'm turning 40 this summer....hehehe

Thanks JOJO and SHORTYSLONG!

Could either of you answer this obsession I have developed over my hair?  This is ridiculous!
