New hair style… Not new boobs as the header image implies, that was a little hook to get you here and now you are, read on and you will find the full look at the bottom of the page.
I honestly can’t believe I plucked up the courage to have a fringe (bangs to you Murrican’s) cut into my hair. I made the appointment and only left a few days gap between that and when it was, as I knew if I had too much time to think about it I would chicken out.
Even on the way to the appointment I suddenly had a really sick feeling in my stomach that this was a horribly bad idea. What if I fucking hated it?
Ageing is hard on the self esteem and the last thing I needed was something else to make me feel unhappy about my appearance but also knew that I was unhappy with how things looked anyway. I knew my hair looked the best, the most flattering when it framed my face but I was constantly tucking it behind my ears or tying it back and apart from the pigtails or bunches I felt it just made me looker older than I was.
So there I was, standing on the street outside the gate to the hairdressers, I have picked someone who I trusted to do a good job and give me an honest opinion but I was still standing there having to talk myself into going in.
I was armed with a few pictures of images for inspiration but also was totally honest about why I wanted it. They were brilliant and said they thought I was making a good choice and so I took a deep breath and put my total trust in them and let them snip away.
That was just over a week ago and whilst I wasn’t 100% sure I liked it when I left their place. It just felt so weird, like there was something constantly tickling my forehead within a few hours that had stopped and I have to admit I bloody love my new fringe and I am so glad I was brave and actually did something bold. (Well bold for me, I am not good with change) It not seem much to others but to me it was big thing and I am bloody proud of myself for having something completely different done to my hair.
New Year, New hair style…. whatever next?
