It was time for a major haircut. There were several deciding factors. I've been working a fair amount in Houston, Texas. I generally wear my hair up down there because of the heat. At home in Minnesota, it has been a very windy spring which means I've been wearing my hair up a lot. My hair has been breaking off more than normal (probably because I've been wearing it up so much.)

The before view |
Locks of Love accepts hair in a ponytail or braid 10" or longer. The hair is made into wigs for children taking cancer treatments. When I made the appointment, I told Candy that I was going to be doing a major transition, donating the length of my hair.

The new me! |
The cut turned out good. We were amazed after taking over 10 inches off, how much length I still had. It isn't a new style for me. This is my tried and true starting point anytime that I go from long to short hair. It has just been a few years since I've seen me with hair this short.

Back view - wash and go! |
It might be hard to see from this view, but the last reason that it was time to get my hair cut was that the bottom half was significantly more strawberry-blonde. Yes, that means that I'm going gray. The nice thing as a blonde, going gray means that the blonde gets a little bit lighter every year. When I pulled my hair up, it became obvious that I had grayed a fair amount from color at the ends to the color near the top. I can live with it, I just don't like to be reminded every time that I look in the mirror.
