Here it is! I took the plunge and went collarbone length. This is the new cut air-dried with my natural wave. (And some help from Pureology Nourishing Nectar Sculpting Gel. I love this new product, and I don’t even have colored hair! Wavy girls, get thee some ASAP!!)
Now, I won’t lie. I was shakin’ in my boots last night.
Tera starting cutting the back, and when she stepped away for a second, I took a photo of the floor behind me.
I may or may not have had a small “moment” at that point.
I know, I know. It’s just hair! But I’ve had really long hair for a REALLY LONG time, so it’s become somewhat of a security blanket for me.
Goodbye, security blanket! After cutting, drying, flat-ironing and texturizing, I left the salon with a fresh look.
It’s going to take a little while to get used to (so long, topknot), but I love that I can wear it both straight and wavy for a completely different vibe. Hooray for new hair!
Have a great weekend, everyone!

December 13, 2010 at 9:54 amI can’t believe your hair looks like THAT air dried! And you don’t have to color either? I would say very mean things right now, but you’re too nice and gorgeous for that. ;-) Looks amazing!

December 19, 2010 at 12:32 amLOVE the shorter do! Like the previous poster said, it puts more emphasis on your face. So pretty!
Thanks for the info on the Viva Glam V lipstick. I’ll definitely have to check that out. Do you mind if I also ask what lip liner you use with that color? And what blush (it looks so fresh and natural)? Thanks!

December 19, 2010 at 8:47 amHi Alecia,
I have two lip liners that I love. Estee Lauder in Fig and Boots No. 7 in Nude. (You can get Boots no. 7 at Target.)
The blush that I’m wearing in the photo is a Tarte Cheek Stain in Perfect Pink. (It was a limited edition color, and I don’t think you can buy it anymore.)

December 21, 2010 at 3:08 pmPlease explain what you did with the Pureology Nourishing Nectar Sculpting Gel. They say to blowdry but you said you air dried. Did you scrunch? How much did you use? It looks so soft and shiny! Just a lovely new look for the new year. Hurray for you!
Sarah
December 21, 2010 at 3:40 pmI towel-dried my hair, applied the gel throughout and air-dried. No scrunching, though. Personally, the more I touch my waves, the worse it looks. Thanks for the kind words!

March 15, 2011 at 9:50 amI was just looking for some hair pics for my friend, and just had to stop and say lovely haircut! Your hair almost looked too long for you. The shorter cut really accentuates your features so well. You could probably go for shorter if you wanted to, you could totally pull off a great bob. =)

July 19, 2011 at 12:51 pmYou new ‘do’ is pretty, loved your long hair too. You have a very pretty face so you can pull off anything ;-) I cut my waist length hair at the end of May, I got tired of it and felt like I looked like everyone else. I have a collarbone length ‘lob’ which looks just ok, I miss my longer hair though and will grow back. What do you think you will do with your new look? Are you going to grow it back or keep it the new length? btw, love this blog! xo
