Mom the Intern Ditches the Mom-Do.

As most of you know, I had been planning on chopping all of my hair off for some time now. I even wrote an entry about it recently. And while I was semi-serious about this venture, I was also semi-insane.

Who, after 18+ years of having long hair, decides to whack it off? ALL OF IT?

Exactly. A crazy person.

But here's the deal. We all know that until yesterday, I had a Mom-Do. And not a cute Mom-Do, either. It was a frumptastic son-of-a-gun in desperate need of an overhaul.

And as I committed to the No-Poo experiment, it only got frumpier.

And frumpier.

Point is, my Mom-Do had to go.

And go, it certainly did.

I wish I had taken a picture of all the hair on the floor, but I was too stupefied to even consider it. Let's be honest -- I've NEVER had short hair. By any means. I've had a few bobs in my lifetime, but nothing, NOTHING so drastic as a pixie cut. So it was a tad unnerving to see a pile the size of a Pomeranian at my feet by the end of the whole ordeal.

After a lot of texturizing and some fun highlights, I was pleased with the result and no longer astounded at how much hair I'd lost. I loved it.

So here, for your viewing pleasure:

After!

And that, my friends, is why we love the pixie cut. :)

So now, if any of you have been contemplating this drastic change, you should know you can do it and you'll look amaaaaazing.
