I Cut My Hair!!!

My hair is no longer long and luxurious! I have had it snipped, and it now reaches just below my shoulders! I have been exited to get my hair cut for a long time for a few certain reasons. I LOVED having my hair long, and I would love to keep it that way, but for a few things:

I had SO many split ends. SO many. It was terrible.
My hair isn't very thick, so if it gets really long, the ends of my hair will get kinda stringy ish, if that even makes sense.
It was getting a little too knotty and hard to brush (hence the split ends)
I love the feel of when the salon people massage your head and wash your hair... it always gives me the shivers (good shivers, not bad)
I just wanted something different.

Is that reason enough? I hope so. Because I did it anyways. When I was little, I always had my hair in a short bob. But as I got older, figured out how to braid, and realized that short hair doesn't work for braids, I decided to let my hair grow out. I cut it back to that bob a few times, but I haven't had short hair now for.....3 years? Wow, it's been a long time. The picture below is from 3 years ago. I'm with one of my friends at Csehy, back when we were such smol beans!

But now, I wanted something different, short (ish) hair for a change. So I asked a friend what she thought of my idea and she asked me to send her a picture of what I would be doing. For some reason the only picture I could find that was of what I kinda wanted was of.....

Emma Stone. So naturally my friend freaked out saying "Oh my gosh i love Emma Stone" and all that, but I had no idea why. *facedesk*

Anyways, that's kinda what I wanted (just without the front layers being so short) so I decided that this was the cut I wanted.

It was Thursday - and it hit me that it was my last day for at least a year with long hair. So I braided it into my signature boxer braids and made a fancy shmancy collage!

Wow, my computer camera quality is terrible. But the next day I was ready, and so headed to the Scott Miller Salon. (That place is so fancy and nice and just all around awesome, if you want a great experience and don't mind paying a bit more and you live in Rochester, go check it out!)

It is fantastic! My hair feels SO much healthier and I love how it feels and looks.
