Act of Desperation

Today I did what some might very well consider an act of desperation.

Let me back up a bit. About a month or so ago while I was in Alabama I was in great need of a hair cut. Well not really knowing where to go, I made the hasty decision to go to a mall. Not the best idea I've ever had. I wouldn't say I came out of there with a BAD haircut, well maybe I would, but I had made the mistake of asking for layers, which this girl obviously didn't know how to do. My hair was all sorts of lengths, and far from being even. Well, I didn't really care too much at that point because atleast it was back in regs. But recently it has been getting longer and, with all that unevenness, has been quite impossible to do anything with. I have taken to wearing a hat a lot. And it finally is back to the point where it's too long to be in uniform, but I couldn't pull it back because parts of it were too short, and it was just a pain. But I have no idea where to get a haircut around here so -
Here comes the desperation part:
I cut it myself.

A great haircut? probably not, but I'm actually quite impressed with myself.
Better than an Alabama mall cut? Sadly, yes

Short and Sweet

In the military we have hair regs in uniform. For us girls it has to be up off your collar, which means pull it up or cut it off. Well for the last however long I've just been going with the pull it up, which isn't so bad when you only have to do it once a week. But I started thinking - here in about 6 weeks I'm going to have to start pulling it up everyday for the next 4 years. And really, I'm just not a big fan of the whole bun thing. So I have decided to try the alternative -

Before - How my hair looked as of about 2 weeks ago






























Now - How my hair looks as of yesterday


























So far I like it - We'll see how it goes.
