Hair today. Gone tomorrow. Vain all the time.

I am having so much fun with this I thought I would share. First a little history...

The last chick who cut my hair did this weird thing that left the back so there are basically two layers. The shorter top layer sort of lies across the bottom of my skull and the next layer is below my neck. I realize this works with some hair but on me it ends up looking like half a perfectly styled bob with all this crazy untamed hair coming out of the bottom. It doesn't look as cool as it sounds. Does that even sound cool? I wonder if I should stop saying "layered" and start saying "choppy" just to see what happens. I am also going to run with "asymmetrical". New terminology often dictates different results. I sometimes fantasize about getting my scissors out, saying all those things in the mirror and then just going for it. If I can do it on a squirmy dog, I can probably do it on anything. Is this warped logic? Has that ever stopped me before?

The first thing I am going to do is stop going to people that I end up paying to much money for a cut I could (read: usually) start out liking but end up eh. I am going to find a Supercuts and hope for the best. At least if I end up with something I dislike I'll only have spent about $20. Either that or I am going to try the woman in the neighborhood who everyone says does a great job for little cash. I'm all about supporting local under the table home run businesses.

Regardless.

Cuts I am considering:


I really like her shirt. I don't have hair long enough for this one but I would like to work my way into it. I think this is dead sexy. Aspirations are key, no matter how small.



Whatever happens with the front, I am digging this for the back. Plain but easy. No crazy layers to make it go all nuts-o when it's humid.



I don't know if I trust my self control for colored stripe and this is just another one of the other two, but it's cute so I saved it.



This is a favorite. I don't want to go all Aeon Flux but let's face it, her hair is pretty rad. I like the different lengths. Same length is sooo last year. This would allow me to get everything in the back under control while letting me be all "how fun am I?!" in the front.



I realize this could resemble a punk rock/emo cry for help but I LOVE IT. I'm also sick of stereotypes getting in the way of my style. Once you meet me, you know for sure that I am as far from punk rock as you can. But emo shit bothers me. A lot. But this cut is great! It does defeat the growing out my hair purpose.


Here's to hoping you just had as much fun with this as I have.
