I got a haircut! (Picture heavy!)

[smerrie]

I couldn't resist. And I am happy that I did! Of course, my hair is not that long, and I have lots of damage to get rid of, so I am in a different place than most of you!

Here is where I started in June this year: (After not washing for a day or two, and having it in a braid)

This was my hair yesterday after 7 months of no trims. I had just washed and dried it, and you can really see how damaged my hair is... once it gets some oil in it, it doesn't look quite as bad, but my hair was loaded down with frizz and LOTS of split ends. I couldn't take it anymore!

So today, I went to my favorite salon, and used a coupon from online for a free deep conditioning with the purchase of a haircut! I'm so glad I did!

Watcha think? :)

I'm so happy with it. I am REALLY glad that I DID wait the seven months, and let it grow some so that I could get damage trimmed off without having to worry about it being up over my shoulders again. But my hair just feels so nice, I think I will probably start doing deep conditioning + trims every three months.

Looks really shiny and healthy - its beautiful hair :D

[brista]

Pretty! I love the color, kind of a honey blond. It looks really nice on you.

[smerrie]

Thanks! It feels so healthy, and 80% of the split ends are GONE!

Thanks! I haven't changed the color in 8 months and its basically the result of a light brown box of dye used to cover some highlights I got last year - and then faded out, so its a couple shades lighter than my roots! I think its prettier in the pics than in real life haha

[spidermom]

Very pretty; it looks fabulous.

[Addy]

Hate to say it but it looks so much better! :D

[smerrie]

Thanks! :)

I know, right!? I resisted trimming for so long, but the tiny step backwards was well-worth it. :)
And thanks!

The stylists did a great job, it actually seems longer (and much healthier) now! It has a great "fall" to it.

[tangocurl]

It looks really pretty!

[getoffmyskittle]

I love it too! I agree with Lamb, the fall is spectacular.

[Lilli]

You have beautiful hair and got a great haircut. It goes to prove my (unpopular) theory that most longhairs look better with some layering or fairytailing at the ends (rather than blunt.)

[cocolover]

What did they put on your hair, it looks sooo good! They did a great job and didn't overhack at all.

[frangipani]

awesome shine ! it looks great - you look so happy in the last pic :D

[Shiva]

Shiny! very nice.

:)

[Reptilia]

Oh my gosh, I totally didn't realize you posted here!! Hiiiii!! haha it's mel :D

And again, your hair looks AWESOME.

[manderly]

Looks gorgeous!! I love your hair! :D

[irishcurls]

You have beautiful hair!! I also agree with Lilli. I myself could not have blunt ends. I love your hair!!

[Garnet66]

You look so good with the cut. It really suits you. And the shine is incredible.

[Charlotte]

Such a gorgeous colour and a great cut. Very pretty face too. :)

[Nyghtingale]

It's so shiney and healthy looking. Very pretty!

lol lilli we i have the same theory, i think my hair looks like a long triangle without fairytailing

[marikamt]

It really doesn't look that much shorter.... just "shaped up"... but oh my! So much healthier and shinier!!!!

[Feye]

Looking great, really soft and shiny!

[Ryanne]

Looks very pretty and healthy.

[Loreley]

[catysue]

Wow, it looks great! So shiny and beautiful! And your color is gorgeous!

[jasper]

I love a good haircut. Yours looks like a good one. :)

[redneckprincess]

it looks really good, healthier, & shinier!!

[Kittybe]

Uh oh. After seeing how beautiful your hair looks, it's convincing me more and more to get my hair cut. I've been thinking about maybe getting a trim to freshen things up and maybe getting bangs again. I only hope it looks as nice as yours. I have a bad track record with hair dressers. :(

[karenpetal]

it looks really good - being a stylist - I think the your hair will grow out well with this cut without too much maintainence

[LaFlor]

Love it! Very nice haircut!

[Susana]

WOW!! I am stunned!! I absolutely love the after hair...so shiny and healthy looking :):)

[Luckysock]

Its like Jennifer Aniston's hair ! totally gorgeous! (you're colour is amazing!)

[Naters]

Your hair looks great! Trims really do help keep hair in that picture perfect look we all crave.

[patience]

Very pretty and so shiny. :cool:

[MissManda]

Your hair looks very pretty. :) Glad you like your haircut!

[klcqtee]

That's a very flattering style on you! Short hair always feels longer to me if you have a cute hair cut.

[maskedrose]

GORGEOUS! I love it. And I have to agree with everyone else - the color is fantastic!

[Cereus]

It's beautiful and it doesn't look shorter at all.

[JasmineDaisy]

Wow your hair looks so silky and shiny. I love it!

[Michiru]

Very pretty!

[cakebaker]

Wow, looks great! I can see why you are so thrilled :)

[yellowchariot]

You've got some cool blond hair going on! Awesome! :thumbsup:

[vindo]

The cut falls very nicely and soft! :)

[Chrissy]

I agree with whoever said it looks much better. Much healthier. It also does look longer to me. Very pretty!

[Fencai]

That looks great! Im totally jealous of the shine!

[melrose1985]

Looks great and wicked healthy!

[JamieLeigh]

I'm not a big fan of layers, but I will say that the color and style do suit your face quite nicely. Very pretty! :flower:

[maxzeen]

it looks very healthy and shiny! gorgeous!!

[kayakomk]

Wow, your hair looks great (I think it looked good before the cut,too but the layers are very nice). Did you also post them on this Jodie Sweetin Fansite? I think I already saw them somewhere...:confused:
Love your haircoloer, so shiny ;)
