Chop

If there’s one thing that I love, it’s my comfort zone.

You may have noticed that I’m not a big risk taker and I’m so not a fan of change.

You know what else I loved? My long hair when I had time to style it, which was about once a week because it took over an hour to do. The rest of the week, it was in a ponytail. A headache-inducing, frumpy ponytail.

So yesterday I got wild and crazy and had all of my hair chopped off.

I’ve truly never had so much cut off at one time.

And what was my takeaway from the experience?

Change can be good.

I think it will take me a bit of time to get used to it and for it to become my new comfort zone (what?).

But, I’m happy that the ponytail is gone and that I have a haircut that I can style more easily.

And this feels like a bit of a fresh start.

Here are the before and after shots…

Thank you to everyone who encouraged me to go for it. Although I might find a length in between, this was such great experience.

And thank you, Melissa, for being so patient with me and giving me such a great cut. I’m so incredibly grateful to you and look forward to sitting in your chair again.
