I decided that growing my hair out in the summer without air conditioning in my car is for the birds.  Not only am I extremely hot because my hair’s on my neck, yet not quite long enough to pull up all that successfully, I’m also dealing with it becoming snarly each and every time I go anywhere because of the unrolled windows.  Snarls and a soft head don’t go together.

Also, you can call it laziness, but I’m not one to spend a lot of time on my hair.  I like to sleep as long as I can before I have to get up and go to work, and I could do so much other stuff during that 45 minutes of hair-doing time.  (Yes, it takes me 45 minutes to straighten my hair.  It takes a very long time to dry and I have to flat iron my hair in a bunch of layers because my hair is extremely thick. Waah, right? ;) )

Anyway, I decided to cut my hair.  I was considering, for a time, to chop it all off again, but I decided that I do like the versatility of being able to do different styles.  After a lot of consideration and help from my niece Carlee, who actually did my hair, I decided on a very short a-line cut in the back and longer sides to frame my face.

The best part about my do is that I only have to style the sides and top.  No back! :D And, I can even do it messy still.

PS–I hate posing for self-portraits.  They’re so annoying and I think I look hideous.
