    so i did it! this past saturday, i chopped off more than a foot of my hair to donate to wigs for kids :D... i've had long hair since freshman yr of hs (12+ years!) so i'm def still getting used to the weight change LOL (i have ridic thick hair)! DH kinda cried a bit inside (he absolutely loves my long hair) but he's growin to love it! :)

    so what do u think bees? do i look younger? older? do you like color? (choco brown with carmel highlights - i haven't dyed it in years either!)

    i think it's gonna be a pain to up-keep, but it def turned out better than i thought... and i'm so happy to have donated!!

    LOVE it! It looks so cute short. Love the color too.

    I think I'm scheduling a post wedding chop for the day after! I want my hair about the length you got it.

    @elliestan: thanks girl! i have a HUGE dome so i was really afraid that the short hair would accentuate my big head! thanks for the reassurance :)

     

    @Carpie: ty!!! GO FOR IT! i LOVE how much lighter my head feels :) and donate if u can too!! i think most places don't have a length requirement anymore, as long as it's tieable in a ponytail :)

     

    @CorgiTales: thanks corgs!! i'm hopin to look more "lawyer-esque" hahaha lol, we'll see what my profs think about that one! hahaha.

     

    @Saeliz: thanks girl! i try to shampoo every other day so that i don't dry it out and keep the shine... i lucked out with my hairstylist, the products he uses are amazing and doesn't damage hair!

     

    @soonerpsych: oohhh sooner u are always so, so sweet! i swear, u don't want to see me in the morning, LOL... my hair gets crazzzay. thanks so much!!

    @missjyc: lol too funny about looking lawyerly... didn't realize you were in law school! I laugh a little about that because throughout college I always had my hair dyed crazy colors... and it was purple up until about 2 weeks before I started law school when I decided I didn't want to be known as "that girl with the purple hair" by the profs. So, I dyed it brown. lol.

    I love it! It frames your face beautifully and looks so much healthier and has a lot of volume. You've made me want to cut my hair.

    Wow, it looks great, although I really liked your long hair too.  Very professional and lawyer-esque.

    It looks amazing! I think it fits your face beautifully! I'm seriously considering doing the post wedding chop myself, and actually just posted it on my FB earlier and everyone freaked out! I'm still probably gonna do it though... I've been growing it for three years now and I'm sick of the upkeep!

    thank you bees! you guys are always so so sweet!!!!!

    i actually just mailed my donation to wigs for kids... if any of you are contemplating a major PWC, i HIGHLY recommend donating! i heard that locks of love charges for their patients (so i chose WFK) but there are several other reputable companies, including one just for burn victims!!!!

    When I read the thread title, I was afraid my (secret) reaction would be "Oh, no, she cut off all her beautiful hair!"  But after seeing the pictures, I love it. The cut AND the color are beautiful.  I actually think I even like it better than the long hair...and I am biased in favor of long hair.  But your hair looks beautiful!
