I’ve been wanting to cut my hair short for quite some time and this weekend I finally did it! It was getting too hot to run with long hair, plus I’ve always wanted to grow my hair out long enough so I could donate it to Locks of Love (a charity that makes wigs for children undergoing radiation treatment). Here are the before pictures:

Now for the fun part! My friend Brakell is a hairstylist so I trusted her to make the cut! First she put it in a ponytail, then cut off the braid.


From the first cut I was loving it!
Even wet, I thought it looked cute. Brakell added some texture and then roundbrushed it with a hair dryer. I thought, This is going to be an easy style to maintain!
Here’s the after picture, looking cute and sassy and definitely happy with the new ‘do!


Thanks so much for the kind comments. I love it (the compliments and my hair)!!
I love my short hair – and this cut really suits you!
Hi Christa! I love the new do! Very, very attractive on you!
