hair pics – before & after
(You have to click on the link because I don’t want my mug on the front page for a week.)
Before:
This is what my hair looked like when I actually spent time on it. Also, I wore makeup here – just for you.
And this is what I ended up doing with my hair 90% of the time. This pic was taken at the end of the day, after all my makeup ran away. That’s my excuse anyway.
After pics:
I look like a completely different person. A younger person, which is weird since having short hair usually makes me look older. I love the color – a LOT. And the cut has graduated layers in the back, which gives me so much fullness – something my hair has always lacked.
I like putting my hair behind my ears, but I’ll have to be careful doing that now because with all the layers, sometimes one side looks shorter. (One side looked longer in this pic and it annoyed me so much I finally Photoshopped it. That’s all I Photoshopped though, honest. If I really would’ve been thinking, I would’ve Photoshopped myself some makeup.)
Best decision I’ve ever made on my hair. And Jason’s reaction was awesome. He actually stood up and jumped up and down with me (at my excited insistence, but still).
I finally love my hair. The end.
Shauna, it looks AWESOME!! I love the cut and color and especially the sweepy bangs!! You may be able to tell from my exaggerated use of exclamation points that I would be jumping up and down with you, as well.

It looks GREAT. Seriously, it looks so good! Your bang things are my only regret about having curly hair–I would LOVE bangs like those but they just don’t work on curly hair. The color and the cut and everything–they just look fabulous! I’m so glad you finally like your hair.

Oohhhh, very, very cute! Love the color as well! Yeah for short hair!!
I have long hair as well and end up looking a bit bedraggled by the end of the day with hair sticking up and out and pulled back in that cheesy fakey bun thing that is supposed to be messy & cute but really only works on 18 yr old college students but whatever…

Looks GREAT! New haircuts (that result in happy giddiness) are the best, aren’t they?

I LOVE IT!

It really does look great. You have, like, the best skin EVER. I hate you and that is all.
Signed,
In a ponytail AGAIN today.

You guys are all so nice – thank you!
And Tessie, I totally debated about Photoshopping everything, but I DIDN’T. But I only have makeup on in the first photo and that worried me.
Anyway, my skin used to freak out until I started using Neutrogena’s Daily Face Wash. I love it.
Also, I have three long wrinkles in my forehead, but they never appear in photos for some reason – thank God.
Great, now I’m going to have to wear makeup all the time to do right by this hair style.

It looks adorable! It’s a big change, but the fact that you love it is awesome! Glad Jason liked it too!
Comment by Stephanie — November 30, 2007 @ 12:41 pm
That looks fantastic!!! It’s strange how it looks longer on one side when you put it behind your ears though.

I love it! Sadly, I am wearing a pony tail today. With wet hair. I fail at this.

WOW. I really love your new hairdo! And you’re right? You do look younger (I hate you). How did you pull that off? Maybe it’s the color?
I’ve always wanted long hair but I haven’t been able to get past the yucky growing it in phase. Now I don’t think I’ll try anymore.

ooh, I like it! I have to cut my hair too, but I don’t think anything will turn out that well for me. I’m too chicken to cut it short (again) these days.

I have long hair and it always end up in a clip. Love the new hairstyle. It is super flattering. The color is fabulous, too.
Comment by Shannon — November 30, 2007 @ 5:59 pm
Wow – I love the new ‘do!! I especially like it behind your ears! It is SO you!
When you told me you were going to get it cut, I thought “…but I love your long hair.” The new cut, the new color…love it, love it, love it!!!

First of all, you are so pretty! The new haircut rocks! Glad you like it.
Comment by Shelly — December 1, 2007 @ 2:10 pm
It looks terrific! It’s a great cut for you and the color is wonderful.
And of course, you have again produced another stellar masthead. I’m so jealous.

Wow, that looks really great! Congrats. I love new haircuts so much!
Comment by Shelly — December 3, 2007 @ 10:28 am
Oh wow, you look great! I love that haircut, and if my hair at that length wouldn’t go POOF and cause me to resemble a disgruntled Chihuahua I would rip it off in a heartbeat.

Oh my goodness, that is such a dramatic change, it is like one of those makeover programs! It looks great!
Comment by Swistle — December 4, 2007 @ 12:51 am
That’s super cute! I like it tucked behind your ears.
