Taking the Plunge



So...I decided to take the plunge and find a new 'do. The old curly locks have gotten quite old, and I'd run out of long, layered styles that are fresh anymore. My wonderful friend Tina went to town on my hair yesterday, leaving MUCH on the floor of her salon, an repairing my roots with foils again...(another example of benefits of small-community living - she cuts and FOILS my hair in exchange for piano lessons for her daughter...sweet deal!)

Anyway...my BEFORE picture is sandwiched in between my two AFTER pictures - self portraits all. :) Hopefully when my Hubby returns from his trip he'll like the new woman he has!

You look AMAZING! As we used to say back in my college days..."H-O-T. Hot Hot Hot." You may or may not start a mass trend of hair cutting across all blogdom because you look so beautiful - for serious! Love you and love the new 'do.

Very cute, Elizabeth!!! I love how you're able to have both the curly and straight look....must be nice :) I've been gifted with straight locks that usually do what they want, when they want it and won't respond to much of anything else!!!!! I'm sure your hubby will enjoy! You look great!

P.S. This just proves that you are one of the very few people in existence that can wear their hair ANY way, long, short, straight, curly...and still look hot...SIGH (BIG ONE)...your lucky I love you, or I'd surely hate you! :)

WOWZERS ELIZABETH!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE it, too!! :) It looks sooooooooo awesome!!!!!!!

Elizabeth said...

Woah! I should cut my hair more often, if I'm going to get so many flattering responses!! Thanks, ladies!! I felt good about it already, now I feel even more confident! I'm pretty sure I haven't had my hair this short since I was...about 13 years old I think....so that's about....well, a LONG time ago! ;) Thanks for the encouragement!!

Andrew is anti-blogging right now (don't ask)..but wants to say, as a guy - he likes dos -both straight and curly!!! He's a fan!! But then again, hasn't he always been? :)

Glo also weighed in (she doesn't really know how to leave a comment, but visits often!) and loves it too! Being a fellow curl girl, she's esp. loving your short curls.

Looky there...you are a shoe-in, no matter what!!

Elizabeth said...

This is my first visit to your blog Elizabeth, and I agree with everyone else. Your hair is lovely and you look amazing
