I know most of you are yelling at me saying " you are supposed to get your hair trimmed every couple of months! Shame on you!!!" Believe me I know this, I just haven't had the money to spend on myself without feeling guilty. I also didn't have the guts to cut my own hair... Until last night.
After looking at my split ends and totally damaged hair over the past few months I just grew repulsed by it. I knew the only option was to (da da da) cut my own hair. I found this great video here on Youtube. Farah Dhukai is awesome! She has her own blog where she gives more detail on her videos and methods. I suggest watching her videos for great tutorials if this is your first attempt at taking on your own hair.
Anyways, I watched her video three times before I went into the bathroom with a pair of scissors and an army of hair ties. Clips would have worked better, but I'm poor and I use what I have. I kept having to run into the living room to check the video to make sure I didn't miss a step. But after probably thirty minutes I finished!
I do feel like I could put some more layers in the back, but I am super confident in cutting my hair into long layers!!!
Here is the before (and please excuse the cliche mirror/ old school myspace pic style. It was the only way I could get a full shot of the hair) It was so heavy and poofy!
And here is the After!
It may not be the greatest, but I like how I didn't ruin the layers around my face, and how it is not as heavy, and most importantly more healthy!!
I will absolutely be cutting my hair myself and much more often. Just because I am a mom doesn't mean I have to let my self go and neglect my needs. And just because I am poor doesn't mean I have to look it haha.
Oh and I was able to get some pictures for the free collage from Walgreens. Today is the last day to take advantage of that deal. So go do it!
Laters!
