I chopped my hair

Thursday, November 7, 2013


That right there is 10 inches of my hair, cut and (almost) ready to be sent to Locks of Love. I have wanted to cut my hair for so long, but every time I got close, everyone would talk me out of it. This time I only told a handful of people and just did it. And, I freaking LOVE it.

Before:

After: 

Coming from someone who has had long, long hair since the 6th grade, I can officially say that long hair is sorta, kinda overrated! I've only lived with this hair for a couple hours and I am already thinking of how many cute things I can do with it.


Long hair was great, but it is so much work. In order to make it look nice, I always had to put so much effort, which always ended in my just throwing it up in a ponytail. I have a feeling that this 'do will be a little less maintenance. 


Excuse all the selfies. It was late when I got home and I didn't feel like getting out my fancy camera. 

If cutting my hair off wasn't exciting enough, I went to a lady I had never been to before. I went completely on referrals and I was NOT disappointed. I have been in Dallas a little over tow years now and I have finally found my "hair lady."


So, that's that. Short hair don't care...especially since my hair is going to a good cause!


High fives: 

1. I cut my hair off and am donating it to a good cause!
2. Today is a half day at school. Woo hoo!
3. I get to visit with a friend and her precious baby girl this weekend. Baby fever.
4. Our house is being cleaned today and there is nothing better than coming home to a clean casa. 
5. Blog friends. They are amazing!

Have you ever chopped all your hair off? Donated it?

Happy Friday!

  1. It looks great ! I've donated my hair 7 times, I've always had long hair, cut it than grew it out again and repeated the process. My hair has never been shorter than my shoulders though, I have a need to make sure I can still put it up in a pony tail.

  8. I've chopped mine to donate twice now and it's almost to the length where I can do it again. I love being able to give back in that way. Plus I totally agree that I love my long hair but as soon as it's cut again it feels so much easier.

  10. I chopped 11 inches off my hair in August and donated it too. I've liked having short hair for a while, but I'm thinking about growing it out again starting the first of the year. And then I'll probably eventually cut it off and donate it again!

  14. Love it! I've done this three times! Each time my hair grows back slower though, go figure. Here's the post you can see the pictures. http://foxysdomesticside.blogspot.com/2012/10/fun-facts-friday.html

    I don't think I'll be doing it again though, it just takes so freakin' long to grow it back out! Plus both my boys love longer hair, I guess I'll oblige until I get tired of long hair that is, haha! I'm already back tracking.

  16. You look so stinking adorable! I LOVE the new look! I am trying to grow mine out to your "before" length but I always get impatient and never know how to style it when it gets that long so I opt for your current length! Gorgeous!
