Fantastic genetics, OCD tendencies (I'm not Obsessive-Compulsive, I'm extremely enthusiastic!) and a fabulous personal hair stylist (yes, she's been cutting and styling hair since I was like one years old) makes for great hair. As much as I've been thinking about cutting my hair, I didn't. All I did was go in a for a dusting and my trademark layers on Friday. You see, I have a weakness for short hair and it's usually the shorter, the better. I have had just about every pixie cut imaginable. Winona Ryder's? Been there done that. Anne Heche's? I rocked it. Halle Berry's? I looked better than her. Twiggy's? She wishes she could have looked like me. And as much as I'd love to go back to it, it's time for a change. Now, keep in mind I have never stated that I never had long hair, I just get all uppity after a year or two with it so I wind up lopping it (with no qualms mind you) and rocking short hair cuts. But it's been roughly 5 years since I've had anything near the vicinity of shoulder-length hair, so I think it's time for a change.

You see, to me hair is hair. Yes, I am obsessed with it but on the flip-side, I treat it like an expendable asset. It's not the first time I have walked into a salon with ass length hair and brunette and have walked out with a blond pixie cut. But all I can say at this point is that yes, it's frustrating let it grow out but I am having so much fun doing it.
