I thought it was time for a change around here.
What a cliché I am – going through a difficult period in my life and suddenly, I’m on my drive home from work realising that I have my 6 weekly appointment to get my red roots touched up and I think to myself ‘shall I just cut it off?’ – everyone likes to reinvent themselves when they , don’t they? So I guess I’m no exception to the rule. I’d just never even considered going short again, but it popped in to my mind and I took to Twitter to ask your advice, the resounding outcome was GO FOR IT! (apart from my mum, who made it very clear that I would 100% regret it, love you).
I gave it all of 12 hours thought and then there I was, telling Amy my hairdresser to go ahead and get rid. She took my ponytail and chopped it off in one chunk, holding it in my hands I was surprised that I didn’t really feel, well, anything really.
I thought I’d be sweating, have a little adrenaline at the very least but I was like ‘hey, there’s my hair, in my hand – okay then’.
I guess I was just ready for it.
The last time I had short hair, I was 11 and for some reason I thought blonde with red highlights (yes you heard right) would be a flattering look – FYI it wasn’t.
I basically wanted it in the style of , because: goddess. So the style itself is a blunt, long bob with a tiny graduation from the back to front. I wanted to keep it that little bit longer because I rarely wear my hair straight, so I knew with having it styled curly it would lift it up that extra inch. Plus, taking it too short on my first cut was just that bit too daring for me – maybe next time!
So here we are: 8 inches shorter and I'm feeling considerably lighter.
I’m so glad I took the leap and it turns out impromptu decisions can work out, sometimes.
Here's to the new me.
What do you think?!
It looks amazing! I think it suits you so so well!

That was a lot of length! So brave...but when I get my hair cut from longer to short (as in boy short..which I seem to keep doing), I always say to myself...hey, it's just hair and it will grow back! I think it really suits you, great to mix it up a bit! Well done!!

Your hair is beautiful, love the colour and the new cut!
ReplyI go through fazes of chopping my hair off and letting it grow, it's always a big risk getting so much cut off in case it doesn't suit you, but it's always so exciting too!

ReplyI did exactly the same thing. I had hair that varied between boob and waist length for around 12 years and I loved it (well, apart from when my boyfriend used to lay on it and then I tried to get up!). In 2010 I was made redundant and it wasn't easy, it nearly ended in a legal battle with them and I ended up walking out one day suffering with stress and anxiety. I started to go through a crisis of image and suddenly just desperately wanted it gone. One day at my boyfriends I would have just chopped it off if I could have found any scissors! So I booked an appointment and came out with shoulder length hair. Not long after this I reached for a bottle of dye for the first time in my life and my natural blonde was covered with dark chocolate brown. I haven't looked back since x
