Effervescent Brunette: My Hair Transformation

Sooo... two days ago (Saturday) i got an extremely substantial hair cut. Its kind of hard not to notice, if you didn't see a difference, you might want to go get your eyes checked!! :) hahaha just kidding.

I was extremely nervous to get my hair cut, but at the same time excited and i knew it was what i wanted and needed.

I have had long hair pretty much my whole life. I've always felt more comfortable with long hair and i just loved the look of it. I've had blonde balayage for 3 years now as well. As I'm turning 18!!! this week i felt it was time for a bit of a change. Now I'm not going to lie it took me about 2 months to decide that cutting it short was really what i wanted. I had to be sure.

And even though i LOVED my long hair, i am super happy with how it looks and feels and am excited to have short hair for a change!!

I used to take seriously good care of my hair, using lots and lots of different products for bleached, long hair, just to make sure i had minimal split ends. It worked as well, i managed to keep my hair in a healthy condition for YEARS. But i can't explain how healthy the tips of my hair feels now.

The photos below are before and then the process of them cutting it and then the finished result!

Enjoy.

Before:

This next picture is after they'd washed it and my hairdresser made a rough cut in the middle just to get rid of the majority of it so she could sit on a chair instead of kneel on the floor!! She cut the middle to make sure she cut the outside even. She then cut about 4-5 more inches off.

How crazy long was my hair, oh my gosh. (I can't even believe how long it was).
