Yesterday I chopped my hair!! I have been growing out my hair for quite a while, and it has been long enough to donate for awhile now. I originally had planned to chop it off after my marathon, but the length is driving me CRAZY!! When I ran, I felt like a horse with a mane because my hair is always on my back! I tried putting it up in a bun during runs and it just didn't work. And besides that, I just feel like my hair had surpassed the phase of looking very "presentable." It just looked long and bleh. It did look nice if I blow dried, straightened, and then put it in hot rollers (yes, I have to straighten it before putting it in rollers thanks to my natural curl that becomes frizz). So I decided a couple of weeks ago that it was time to cut it!
My hair-spiration for the cut was this...
Yesterday my hair went from looking like this...
To looking like this!
I am really, really happy with how it turned out. That is much more of a Lisa look versus the long, long locks of hair. It feels healthy - and it moves when I turn my head! It's a fun change for me, and looks more professional and polished. Also, I think that I look more mature with this shorter 'do. I will be doing a bunch of presentations next month to a (mostly) male audience, so looking a bit more mature works to my advantage!
Have you ever drastically changed your look? I am not at all attached to my hair so it wasn't scary to cut off all that length - it was exciting!
