It's happening again...

I'm getting the urge to cut my hair. This happens to me every few years. I'm not talking an urge to get a trim. I'm talking about the urge to go and chop it all off.

So here's how it usually goes...I search for photos of cute short hair on the internet for days. Then I narrow it down to one choice (usually a very cute bob on some gorgeous celebrity). I then proceed to take the photo to a hairstylist who then proceeds to cut all of my long beautiful hair off.

I usually like the finished product initially, until reality sets in. My hubby will come home and say, "What did you do?" I then realize my face looks ten times chubbier with short hair. I then proceed to grow it out again for the next 2 - 4 years.

This is what happens to me every time. So why do I do it? Sometimes a girl just needs a change.

I'm so tired of my hair these days. I love my long hair when I take the time to style it. But I'm not liking it these days because I don't have an hour to dedicate to my hair every day, so it usually ends up in a pony tail or just air-dried.

I love the long hair with soft waves/curls look. I can accomplish this look if I take time to put product in and blow dry with a round brush (which takes 20 minutes at least with my long, thick hair). Then I have to use a curling iron on it. It takes over 30-40 minutes. When you have a baby, that's too much time.

So I've been checking out some cute short styles. I have a very round face though, which means I have to be very careful not to pick something that will make me look chubby.

Here's some photos from Hair Style Websites that I've been eyeing... We'll see if I end up cutting it or leaving it long. Decisions, decisions...

Do it!!! I just cut my hair short and I love it! Maybe if you just cut a few inches off at a time it won't be as much of a shock and if you like it and want to go shorter then you can! If you do cut it, I want to see pictures!! :)

Do it!!! :) The styles you have picked don't seem to be THAT short... so maybe just do a couple inches so it isn't as big of a deal and see how you like it. If you don't like it then it won't be as hard to grow back like if you chopped it really short! DO IT! ;)
