cut for the cause

by the time we got home i was more than over my hair! isn't it weird how you wake up one day and HATE your hair and everything about it? yeah, well i did that about a month before, so i was daily tormented by the awful color and general ratty state of my hair for 30 whole days that felt like an eternity.

see what i mean? tormented - day in and day out! please note - cute rings, dark polish, favorite warmer weather but still winter outfit that says it's good to be home and have on different clothes, and last but not least the PEDOMETER - check, check, check, check!

lucky for me, the salon in lex stays open until 10pm (who does that?) so i was able to be worked in. thus began the debate in my mind. do i just trim it up and get all over color or do i get high lights or do i cut it all off. i was trying to wait for ali do it for me, but after a couple of hours of going back and forth i realized that i wouldn't see ali for over 2 months. that's plenty of time to have enough re-growth for her to go wild with! (btw - i need an appointment!)

then i thought... how better than to live great in 08' than to donate my hair that's healthy and has NO bleach in it (which is a remarkable feat for the girl who loves the high lights) to a cause that will make wigs for cancer patients. nothing better to do with the hair anyway, so why not!

this is pony tail #2. yes, i had 2 pony tails, because mama has a lot of hair!


my luck continued, because the salon mails your hair in for you! if you've ever waited by the mailbox hoping to get something from me, i'm afraid the post man might find you still waiting.
want to see the end result?

TA~DA!

the color is not exactly what i want, but i absolutely adore the cut! basically i wanted to blondes to be blonder and the browns to be much darker, but as they say - you can't have it all! in these pictures my bangs were pinned back, but i can wear them swoopy too. it's not the victoria beckham cut that is running rampant and might i add - ridiculously cute! think katie holmes or just ME. all i know is it looks different every day and i did it for the cause!
