The reason that Felicity cut off all of her hair was because of breaking up with Ben and her life going in a new direction. So when I decided to go on a mission and I felt like my life was out of control, I thought a good idea would be to take control of my life by cutting my hair. I took this picture (literally this picture-I love google images) into the salon and said make my hair look like this:
Although it was going to be quite the drastic change (my hair was several inches below my shoulders at the time) the stylist agreed to do it-and I ended up looking like this: (note-this isn't a pic from right after the hair cut, I can't find those pics-maybe they've been burned-so my hair in this pic is an inch or so longer than it was when it was cut)
Yeah. Kind of embarassing. Plus I gained like 30 pounds before I went into the MTC which I attribute to the crisis of going into the MTC and serving a mission. It was like I didn't even know who I was supposed to be anymore because I was serving a mission. I didn't even feel like myself because I didn't look like myself. It was quite the situation. I swore after my hair grew out that I would never cut it that short ever again. EVER.
Fast forward to last month. My hair was in need of a cut and color. I had this crazy dream where I cut my hair which was weird but whatever. Then I actually went to my hair appointment and Cassie asked how much I wanted taken off-and the next thing I knew 6 inches were gone!
But this time I think it looks good. I don't have any pics of it curly up yet, the jury is still out as far as if I like it curly. Especially after looking at these MTC pics I worry I've made the wrong decision-but overall I'm happy with it. Thank goodness!
