Haircut
by V.E. on July 13th, 2008
I got a haircut.
I know: it’s amazing.
If you know me, you know that cutting my hair is sort of a really big deal for me. That is, it only happens right before or after a big life event. The last time I got it trimmed, it was for my college graduation, and it was less than an inch off the bottom. No even noticed the difference. The time before that, I’d just told my closest friends that I’d been lying to them that whole time (you know who you are) but that I was tired of it and I wasn’t going to do it anymore. I felt like my hair was clinging to the bad vibes and it had to go… so I cut it all off. I know; I’m weird. The time before that, I had it cut and styled for my senior prom. So… aside from this cut today, I’ve had my haircut a total of three times in the past 6 years. Like I said, I’m weird about my hair.
Today, I was celebrating my acquiring a full time job with benefits and paid vacation and everything. (It’s the real deal!) Also, I felt like it was reminding me too much of Bennett… It’s difficult to explain why my hair (of all things) has anything to do with him, especially since I know I’m over him. But I needed a change to make it final in my mind, and this haircut was a good way for me to do that. So, without further ado, here are some pictures.
Before: one | two | three
After: one | two | three | four
And: no, I didn’t do anything to it except cut it. There are no highlights or anything; my hair really is that color.
