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! 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.
About Jenni Elyse
I think it’s darling. Cute summer cut. I hate growing out my hair too. I had it really short forever, and it has taken me so long to grow it out, cause I kept going back to short. Short hair is so much fun!
Thank you! I agree that short hair is so much fun. And, growing hair out is the worst! It wouldn’t be so bad if I weren’t always blown to pieces right now. We’ll see if I can grow it out longer after it cools down.
I can not believe that it takes you 45 minutes to do your hair! I do like the new ‘do though!
Jenifer – Yeah, it sucks. If I did it messy, it only took 5 minutes, but I didn’t always like that. My hair just takes forever to dry. FOREVER.
I love it. And I totally get the self portraits…but you don’t look hideous. And I am so excited to have an easy do in the morning also! Hooray for hair cuts!
Aymee – It was fun to spend time with you and the family getting our hair cut!
I love your new “do”! It’s so sassy!
Jenni! It was fun doing your hair, and I am so glad you like it and that it’s easier!! I really like the messy way too, it looks way cute!
It looks great! Carlee did a great job.
Beth – Thanks!
Carlee – I’m glad you have fun doing it. I always wonder if it’s a chore for you.
LeAnn – Thanks! She’s good at what she does!
How nice! I love what a new haircut/color does to my soul! Love it.
Debbie – I agree completely! Change is good when it comes to hair! Thanks! By the way, I still want to see pictures of your new do.
so fun! it looks like it did when I met you and I love it! Its good to go short like that in the summer, you can grow it out in the winter
Dayna – Yeah, I think I’ll try to grow my hair out in the winter. … Maybe.
Well, if you would smile then your self portraits wouldn’t be so “hideous” (your words not mine). I like you’re new do. Very cute. Smile next time you take a self portrait. You have a great smile & you need to show it off.
Christie – Ha! Yeah, I know I should smile. I’m always self-conscious about my smile, though, because I think it looks fake when I’m doing a self-portrait. But, I’ll try that next time.
supercute!carlee did great and i love the look on you.
Ali – Thank you!
I really like it.
