Why yes hair dresser, I would like to look like a poodle. Thanks for anticipating that.

Today I went to chop all of my hair off. It was ridiculously long and I was getting increasingly tired of having to deal with it. So I went to the salon and told the lady how short I wanted it. I told her that I wanted to still be able to put it in a pony tail but that I wanted the majority of it cut off. Little did I know, this woman learned how to cut hair on small variety dogs. (Not really but it seems that way)

She continued to yap away at me, which is something that all hair dressers do that drives me crazy. I'm okay with a little silence, you don't need to ask me my life story while you're cutting my hair. I usually let the hair dresser do her thing because she's the hair dresser, I'm not. She (should) know what she's doing. So my hair dresser asked me if I would be opposed to some layering and I said no. Layering is fine I didn't really care, I've had layers in my hair before. But as she was chopping away, I noticed that my hair was getting shorter and shorter by the second.

And that's when I started to panic. My hair probably loses about 3 inches of its length once it dries. And it was already looking waaaay too short. When she finished, it was still wet and looked alright. But when I got home, it had started to dry, and I realized just how crazy she had gone with the layering. I absolutely looked like a poodle. The length is fine, but because she went so crazy with the layering, I now have what can only be described as a white girl afro that can just barely fit into a pony tail. So I think its relatively safe to say that I will be wearing my hair up for a couple weeks until it starts to grow back....

 And don't be misled by the fact that it looks kind of tame and non-afro like in the photo. I ran a straightener through it... I'm petrified to think about what it's going to look like if I let the full blown curls take over... I'll have a pretty sweet jew-fro......
