so i chopped my hair off yesterday

I tend to cut my hair on a whim. Dramatically cut my hair on a whim.
Yesterday, I called and made an appointment on the way to church and right after church was over, I headed over and chopped about 12 inches off my hair.

GULP.

Here is basically how long it was yesterday:

Here it is now:

Just a tad shorter in the back, wouldn't you say? Sorry for the self portrait. I'll try to get a better pic soon!

I love it!!Now I just need to decide on a color. Can't decide if I should go lighter or darker. What do you think?

    Love the cut! I did the same thing with mine a few weeks ago. It’s great to have it long just to pull it back, but I also like feeling like my hair actually has a style to it. As for color, that’s a tough one since we’re still in summer but heading into the fall. Maybe darker with some light highlights?

    So cute! But now I want to see the front, too.

    So pretty! But very brave! I’ve been growing mine…I came into the gym locker room behind a lady one day with beautiful long blonde hair, and then she turned around….somewhere around “Great Grandma” you have to let it go, and this particular lady had not. So I realized that now that I’m on the downhill slope to 40, it’s now or never!!! Or til my then teenager says “Ma, cut the hair!”

    I love it! Can’t wait to see it in person. I’d be curious to see it a shade darker, but then with your coloring and the colors you like to wear, maybe some highlights is all you need. FUN!

    Aaagggghhhh, it’s adorable!!! I so wish my hair was straight so I could do that kind of bob. I think I’ve seen lighter but not darker so maybe darker for going into the fall. Maybe you should just do highlights and then darker later on. Whatever you decide I am sure it is going to look even more fabulous than it does! You are such a brave woman!!
