It's All Gone!

Well, no, I didn't shave my head as I did in college, but my hair is still short! I cut it to my chin and dyed it reddish brown today. It looks a lot like a haircut I had when I was a sophomore in high school. Now, when I look in the mirror I experience a time warp.

Pictures will come soon.

Lesson: Hair + fashion are external and although they represent a part of myself and my self expression, they do not define all of me. Hair is fun to play with and I am not too sad to see it cut.

    you shaved your head in college? i want to see pictures of that. i often JOKE about shaving my head becuase my hair is such a PITA but my head's pretty lumpy so i don't think that'd look good either. i can picture you, though... i bet you looked hot! ;)

    I have decided to attempt to allow my natural color to grow out for a while. As an adult I think I have a strong enough ego to embrace my dull hair color. This does not mean that I will not continue to play with it in the future, but at least for now, I don't feel that I need to hide it any longer.

    3 weeks. Is that a long time to have natural hair color?

    When I first read that you cut it I thought that you did so to even out the color between dyed and natural. Oh well.

    I am still secure in myself and my identity but red is a fun color and I am free to change my mind.
