This post is about an epiphany that was a long time in the making.
Last week I saw Elaine Mitchell, Senior Creative Director at the Sassoon New York hair salon and left with punk-like hair. I shrieked afterwards but the trip reminded me of something more important…
Over the past two years, you have gone on a hair journey with me. Growing up, I’ve always had long hair but recently I started to feel like I was stuck in a hair rut. My fedoras became a crutch, hiding me behind hair that I was getting increasingly bored with. When I did the big chop, Sassoon approached me this year to explore different ways to style my short hair. They showed me how to rock a mod cut, go curly, try a badass quiff and lastly, this edgy spin on short summer hair, but what they really did was remind me why I was bored before: Long straight hair wasn’t me anymore. Hair is an extension of your style and when it’s not you anymore, don’t be afraid to change it!
. . .
Question: Do you feel like you’ve found your hair style or are you still experimenting?

The way they wear their hair says a lot about a person. Whether or not risks with it , too. I never afraid to experiment with my hair , I enjoy and I see you too ….;-)

Yes I agree, hair does say a lot of someone, even if they don’t do anything at all to it – that alone says something!

Ahhh… there’s my short haired sister… I always like doing shorter hair myself. My husband asked my to grow my hair “long”… got it to the shoulder…and it hit 113 degrees here in Vegas; off it went… to a cut similar to yours. The short is fun; always versatile in m opinion. Thank you as always..
