Hair is a big deal to a girl. Don't believe me? Just ask Rapunzel. Most girls have had a scarring haircut experience that altered them for life. Mine happened in 7th grade. With hair at mid-chest length, I went into the salon and asked for a trim - just an inch to an inch and a half off, I said. I walked out in tears. She had given me a boy cut with a rat tail. I vowed to keep my hair shoulder-length or longer forevermore.
That all changed last night when I walked into Bumble and Bumble. I said I wanted something a little different, but nothing too crazy. Somehow that turned into a much much shorter 'do. This time, I didn't walk out crying. I'm a little scared because I'm not sure how to style it myself, but I'm up to the challenge. Not to toot my own horn (ok, maybe I'm tooting a little bit), but I'm pretty proud of myself. I'm not sure what it is about hair, but it is very closely linked to a girl's identity; ergo, I'm a whole new woman now? I still can't believe I went through with such a big change because I very rarely throw caution to the wind like this. I celebrated this milestone by grabbing a burger and a drink at PJ Clarkes post-cut. Check out my transformation below:
