Pixie Dust

Back when I was a teenager, I used to say that when I turned 18 I would shave my head. I never did go through with it, but the thoughts have been coming back. Not necessarily of shaving it off but at least of going Pixie.

The thing is, I have never been hair-obsessed. I never wanted super long hair. I never cried when it was being cut. And once when I was about 12-13 years old, I actually lost some hair at a salon. A chunk from the right side of my head broke off during a relaxer. The stylist - who also happened to be the owner - was freaking out, while I just sat in her chair and told her it was no big deal. My philosophy has always been "Hair grows back."

So i've been skimming pictures of girls with Pixie cuts and hoping I get up the courage to actually do it one of these days. It kind of helps that there has been this surge of celebrities chopping off their long locks - Miley Cyrus, Anne Hathaway, Katie Holmes. And of course we can't forget that Halle Berry has been rocking her Pixie forever, and does so beautifully. Of course, if I looked like any of those women and could afford a personal stylist I would've done it a long time ago. But really my hesitation comes primarily from having curly hair. The last stylist I went to was afraid to even cut it to my shoulders, and it's pretty difficult to find anyone who would do it for me unless I have a lot of money to spend at a salon specializing in curly hair. Right now, I only go to salons when there's a deal online. I'd rather spend my money elsewhere.

Stick around with me on my hair journey..Pixie may make an appearance soon ;)

This is my cut right now..looks pretty short but when it's straight it falls at my shoulders.
