The Great Whack of 2011


Well... I did it.

I've been toying with the idea of whacking all of my hair off for a few years now. Yes, my pal Roccy did it first (and it certainly helped get my own courage up) so I'm officially a big fat copy-cat.

But here it is.




And here are my thoughts on the matter:

PRO - I am definitely enjoying how fast and easy it is to style.
CON - If I don't use the right hair product, I look like Ralph Macchio from the 80's.

PRO - Finally found the right hair product that was under $15
CON - It's made for men.

PRO - I'm saving oodles on shampoo.
CON - Earrings and Q-tips suddenly have a more important role in my life.

PRO - My girlfriends like it.
CON - My children hate it.

PRO - Wind can no longer mess it up! Nothing can!
CON - It's badly time to color my roots, because all I have left now are roots!!!

You are SO brave! I need a hair cut, but there's no way I could go that short.

So chic! I'm petrified of a short short cut. I don't think I've gone higher than my chin, and that felt radical when I did it. I'm much to attatched to having a pony tail option to whack it off. You, on the other hand, look stunningly gorgeous! I'm jealous that you can pull of the look!

I am laughing my guts out right now . . . Ralph Macchio!

I adore your hair. It's so so awesome. You look fantastic.

Did I tell you about the time I got my hair cut a bit shorter than usual and styled a bit differently? I came home and my kids started bawling!

I prepared them extensively this time though.
