Keeping it short

I admit.  It has been too long and yeah, I do seem to have a problem with trimming, but no longer.  I'm keeping it short.

So yesterday, I finally did it.  I cut my hair.

I've had it long for many years already.  I would trim it now and then.  Maybe every six months if I remember.  And when my wedding drew near, I kept it long since that was what every bride seem to do.  And it sort of worked.  With the long hair, I could have it up in elegant styles during my wedding, but then again, the looks could have been as easily achieved with wigs.

So now that both weddings are over (phew), I decided to try a new hairstyle.  Yesterday, I went to the hairsaloon at the square nearby and 30mins later, my almost-waist-long hair was gone and I walked with a nice bounce to my chin-length bob.

It really is a drastic change. It took years off me.  I really look young.  But then again, I have had short hair in the past and yes, I always look younger when I cut my hair short. And my head feels lighter.  Not to mention how much easier it is to wash my hair.  In the hot summer days, I wash my hair every day and with long hair and NO hairdryer, it took ages for me to dry it.  This morning, I only had to towel dry it and in about half an hour, it was dry.  But I still would have to buy a hairdryer to keep that bob looking good.

Pete loves the new look, so it looks like the short 'do is here to stay.
