He was one of those "I'd never date you if your hair were short" guys. There was a chance I'd run into him again in the normal course of events, and it was time for a haircut anyway so I was all like "take that sucka". But really anything I do to my hair is all me.

It looks fantastic like that!<br /><br />I've always been willing to experiment with my hair style and hair color, and my changes rarely correlate to other shit that's happening in my life. When I got my hair cut again last week and posted some pictures on FB, a friend remarked that it was a milestone hair cut, and I had to inform her that as I've had about 10 different short pixie cuts in the past 12 years the evidence indicated otherwise.Raquelitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13138113830990586689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6632064987562852587.post-87914856824751773842010-06-12T16:44:14.764-04:002010-06-12T16:44:14.764-04:00love the hair. it totally works. very you.love the hair. it totally works. very you.ikke ikkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02464219632020375560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6632064987562852587.post-8242353420951721412010-06-12T14:39:25.839-04:002010-06-12T14:39:25.839-04:00Thanks for the compliments.

And I agree that fun motivates my attention to my appearance more than anything else.<br />@LFDO: That story with your mom is really precious, even if you were stressed at the time. I agree that hair cutting can be about independence and freedom, not hysteria/neuroses.<br />@D-Med: My short hair was originally done accidentally too! I've let my friends cut my hair too many times (3 times, I think). Once was a friend's little sister, who was attending beauty school. Once was to prepare for the naked army (more on that later). <br />@AW: Yeah, you tell the Post!<br />@Minerrva: I call it dramatic/wispy in the front, practical in the back. Sort of like a reverse mullet, but with arty elements. My hairdresser got it out of a Japanese hair magazine. You are more than welcome to take this picture, but if you email me, I can send you more.Radhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01946279879863336523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6632064987562852587.post-51076289856806264012010-06-12T13:10:41.331-04:002010-06-12T13:10:41.331-04:00Ooh, I love the haircut too.

What do you say/call this haircut, Rad? Or can I just take this picture of you in to my stylist and say, 'one like this, please' (like one would of celebrity hairstyles)? :)minerrvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08374826743507154995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6632064987562852587.post-58898125306926370002010-06-12T12:44:40.140-04:002010-06-12T12:44:40.140-04:00Am also LOVING your new haircut, Rad.

People - women included - change their hair for lots of reasons, and I agree that it's ridiculous to generalize about half the world's (or country's) population reasons for doing so based on long-standing chauvinist beliefs regarding women's inherent irrationality, or lack of control in other elements of our lives. <br /><br />In short and to sum up, I repeat: suck it, NY Post peeps.

I didn't maintain it because I was in undergrad and I couldn't afford to, but I loved it.<br /><br />The next time it was bleached, the hairdresser made a mistake. She didn't understand what I was asking for and we were both surprised by the outcome. But, as noted above, I really love my hair bleached so I didn't really mind.<br /><br />Now that I am gainfully employed, I bleach it because I can afford to and it really does suit me. I have mousy brownish hair, though I was a tow-headed child and so it's not surprising that it suits me. I cut my hair short because this also suits me and I like it.<br /><br />None of this has to do with my desire to exert control--in fact, the first two times my hair was bleached it was entirely outside of my control. Take that, NY Post.<br /><br />And I LOVE your kicky new haircut, Rad.

I don't color my hair in response to anything traumatic other than all the gray hair that's hiding underneath the dye. Sometimes I have my stylist throw a little red into the mix, or do highlights or something, but it's because I want something fun and different (that, typically, only I notice anyway). And I get new haircuts because I get bored with or tired of my hair as it is.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18403024177515079403noreply@blogger.com
