I finally did it. I cut my hair decently short, at least for me. I got a shot of me in May when I got my last hair cut and decided to go with bangs. They ended up a little shorter than I wanted, but they eventually grew out and I was happy with them.

But then 2011 rolled around and I wanted a more drastic/different cut. I asked my Kaboodle network of friends for suggestions and they did not fail me.

I decided on the Nicole Richie hair style. I went to my stylist with the pic above and she was excited I was doing something different. Since I was also going to get some highlights, she first started off chopping off about 5"-6" of hair, since it made no sense to highlight them if they were going to get chopped off. So there was no turning back.

After the dye was rinsed out and I was again sitting in the chair, staring at my shorter hair, I felt excited. This could be a good change.

I was really happy with how my hair turned out. I took a pic of it, but my living room has orange walls and I took it with my Blackberry camera, so the picture quality isn't great, but you can see the difference in hair styles.

I was worried about how my son would take it, but he barely noticed anything different. My hubby on the other hand was a little more surprised. I texted him the pic and his comment was that it was very aggressive of me to go that short. We've been together for 15 years, married for 7 1/2 years and I've always had hair well below my shoulders. He's just going to need a little more time to get used to the new me.

So what do you think? Like it? Hate it? Go shorter next time?

Thanks to all that gave me suggestions. I love Kaboodle!

It looks really fresh and stylish. My long hair is like my security blanket so I'd find it hard to cut it, so props to you for going for it. Report Spam Posted by x0xsharicex0x at 4:05 PM on 01/22/11

I think you look darling. No I wouldnt go shorter I would keep it at least the length is now, it keeps it looking more feminine and flirty that way and you want to keep hubby happy too. ; ) Report Spam Posted by earthangel67 at 5:37 AM on 01/23/11

It looks great. My Hubbs always reacts negatively at first when I make drastic changes to my hair. He gets emotionally attached to me looking a certain way, I guess. Anyway, they get over it! Report Spam Posted by alicatstrut at 7:21 AM on 01/31/11
