I got a makeover. Not intentionally, but I totally got remade just by cutting my hair by over half after an incredibly bad day on Friday. Again, unintentional, but the hair is very Jennifer Anniston’s choppy, incredibly layered, flippy bob after The Rachel got played out and she snipped the long layers off. I went from a long-haired blond Asian with locks down past her nipples to a brown Jennifer Anniston with very healthy, late 90s layered hair with a slight ombre gradient dye trend.
I normally prefer to stay away from inexpensive styling services and vendors, like SuperCuts, Fantastic Sam’s (which I found to be not so fantastic), BoRics, Master Cats, etc. But this time, I actually went to Master Cuts, got a $15.99USD haircut, because it was just a straight bob with no additional styling. I used to go for trendy hair cuts… this time, I wanted it simple. My long, haystack hair was getting too dry to manage, and I was done with it. (Plus I had an insanely bad day.) It turned out well. I’m absolutely shocked, but happy the gamble paid off.

The plus side after chopping off the locks I’ve been so dedicated to growing out for the last three years on a whim? I wake up looking like this:
VOLUMINOUS GOODNESS! I don’t need a comb any more. (Just a washcloth for those raccoon eyes) WIN.
The down side? I have had short hair for years and years. All throughout high school, most of college, with maybe off and on slightly longer locks. It hasn’t grown past my boobs since the age when I was so young, I didn’t even have boobs (aka, 13-14). Needless to say, I do miss my long hair, and I’m back to the length I was when I started style blogging back in 2008. But this is a nice healthy feel, despite the “Phantom Limb” effect I’m having. I keep lifting my hand to flip my hair over my shoulder or tie it up in a high bun, and being taken aback when the weight of the locks isn’t there. *Laugh*Face Palm*
What is the last thing you did absolutely impetuously that turned out extremely well?
