Time has been flying! So it's been approximately a year since this picture.

It was taken last July 4th weekend (when I still had my 52" TV!). Last June I started wearing curly hairstyles because my hair was breaking in the upper crown section. You can see the short strands in the picture above.

This is a picture I took about two days ago to pinpoint where I was before getting my hair trimmed and straightened


My hair had been trimmed two times since the first picture with straight hair. This is my blow-dried hair before the trim.



At this point I reached back and realized that my hair was getting long.  I kept feeling a piece of hair on my arm and I thought it was a stray strand, but when I went to pluck it off, I realized it was attached to my head! Then my stylist changed my cape and I told her to cut the longest layer up a bit because it was way longer than the rest and looked like a mullet when it was curly. I probably should have had her show me how much she was going to cut in the mirror. It feels like it's 2 inches shorter in the back now: Didn't realize I that I asked for that big of a cut, but here is where we are now.


The broken off crown section is approaching shoulder length and the back is about an inch or so past my shirt line. In last years picture it was above the tank top. I have a long neck and back, so my hair looks much longer in person. I plan to take an official picture in my blue tank top hopefully tomorrow and I'll post so you can see them back to back. I'm slightly disappointed that so much got cut off, but it was looking like I had a tail. Now that everything is more even, I'm focused on APL for December. I got a taste of it briefly and I want it back!
