Birthday Cut
I’ve finally had a chance to give my tresses some love. I know I haven’t been combing them for ages but my addiction for hair products – to tame the frizz, to moisturize, to add bounce, et cetera – has been a sign that I was bound to pay attention to my ‘crowning glory’ more than I care to admit.
Well, the result of my well-deserved haircut isn’t as shocking as most people would have done it. I sported a bob since I was young and only had a chance to grow them out about three times in my lifetime: when I was 9, 16, and 21. So you can say that I wasn’t ready to say goodbye to my long, almost mermaid-like hair yet.
For this momentous event, I enlisted the help of the people at Toni & Guy and wasn’t disappointed. I definitely enjoyed the attention to my head shape, hair texture, and facial features, to come up with a style that would suit and flatter me. The entire process took two hours but I definitely enjoyed every single bit of it, especially the little techniques and hairstylist jargon I picked up along the way.
Basically my hair’s been bombarded with layers to remove the flatness and heavy feeling. The back-top part of my head’s a bit flat too so they had to shape it to make it more round and such. The fringe was made to draw the attention to my ‘expressive eyes’ (their words, not mine) so they cut it just below my cheek bones. They didn’t really want to give me bangs because those would only cover my face, which is a good call since I didn’t really want them short.
Anyway, here’s my new ‘do. What do you think?

Oh, and it isn’t my birthday yet. I just wanted to get a haircut now so my new hair would have enough time to settle when I turn a year older. Heh.
