Okay, so here’s the new haircut — not great photos ’cause I’m taking them myself with my arm stretched way out. My hair’s new quite dry here, and later on I picked it out to get a bit more volume on top. I love the sides, which you can see below — they’re supposed to grow in over the next few months for more length and fullness.
Here’s a shot without my glasses. Again, you can see that it will be better with a bit more volume on top and a loosening up of the bangs for more brow coverage, and that’s what happened as the day went on.
Want to see the other side too? I really like the way the lowlights show up here — they tended to disappear into my longer curls.
This was a bold and unexpected move for me, but I’m pleased that I made the change. Now I’m off to meet Paul for dinner (in Vanc’r) at Gyoza King — can’t wait to see his surprise (hope Meg didn’t spill the beans!)
I love it. I am so in love with curls!
I love it! You look fabulous!!
Wow! Is your hair naturally so wonderfully curly? It is so shiny too. I admire your braveness. I am very conservative-same hairdo for years.
Oh, have a little faith. Of Course I wouldn’t tell.
GREAT cut!
I checked in especially today in the hope you had posted photos! It looks really great. I envy the ability to just pick with a comb to get volume. Very stylish! Patricia
Thanks, all! And yes, metscan, those curls are all natural — I know, I know, I’m very lucky. But you probably realize that we curlyheads often look enviously, wistfully, at our straight-haired sisters. I can never, ever leave the house in the morning without at least soaking my hair thoroughly as part of the styling process.
And Meg, I knew you wouldn’t tell.
That’s a great cut! So sassy!
Wow–that is a _great_ cut! I love the sides (and your glasses!) too.
Gorgeous and sophisticated!

Thanks, Jillian — I love being sassy! Great word!
Puttermeister: I’ve missed you — how’s the term going. And thanks, gorgeous and sophisticated, eh?
I love the new cut–shows the shape of your face!

ma, it is TERRIFIC, it is perfect, you look so gorgeous. Also she totally “got” you. Wow.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanks Alison — it’s a big change, isn’t it!
Duchesse: Thanks, I’m really happy with it, and I do think I’m lucky to have a hairdresser who “gets” me, as you say, so well.
You have a Happy Thanksgiving as well!
I love the angle of the cut. Your curls look even more lovely!! And, I bet you just have to put a little mousse in and then go. Huh? Le sigh! You are a very lucky woman!
Happy thanksgiving to you, Pater, and all your darlings!!
LBR: Thanks! And you’re right, it’s pretty much work in product, establish part, shape, scrunch, and go. I do have to wet it completely every morning — without a wet-down, there’s no way the bedhead could return to anything that could be seen outside the house.
