So as I mentioned recently I've been thinking of going for the chop and today it actually happened :) I never thought I'd actually do it but this week I noticed how bad the condition of my hair was and thought about how nice and easy it would be to have shorter, healthier hair so I just went for it and I couldn't be happier! I also bought myself some Moroccan oil for it and that stuff is amaaaazing- makes it feel so smooth!
I do have to apologise for the poor quality of these pictures, they're taken on Jeremy's phone cause we only had film cameras with us at the time. Anyway I've had long hair for the last three and a bit years so this is a big change for me but I'm really happy :)
You took the plunge!! Loving it!! xx
ReplyDeleteYou did it! Hooray! You'll be pixie cropping with the best of us before you know it ;)
ReplyDeleteLove,
Hello, Sweetie

Ooh, while I remember... When I was growing my hair (before realising how stupid I looked) I LOVED using H'suan wen hua to keep it from getting scraggy. If you can get your mitts on it, it's friggin gorgeous and really, really works. Perfect for brunettes :)
ReplyDeleteLove,
Hello, Sweetie
p.s: I'm not a sneaky product plugger, I just love Lush!
Your haircut looks gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOh, that's cute ... & I'm sure your hair feels so much healthier as a result. When you said you were getting it cut off I thought you were going to get a bob. This is not too dramatic at all. Lovely ...
ReplyDeleteElegantly Academic
Ooh, does it feel so light and smooth now? I love that feeling after a haircut. It looks really good! And you still have enough length to style it if you want to :)
ReplyDeleteYay! I love it! This is the length I went for when I got my super long chopped off. About two or three weeks later I was getting it cut shorter. My hair is healthy and so much more manageable! <3
ReplyDeleteYou did it! Great! You look lovely!
ReplyDeleteI might have to try that Moroccan oil! My hair is in a terrible state! Actually, I think I might have to cut it as well...
it looks great! and Moroccan oil is the best stuff!
ReplyDeletelove it and i second your thoughts about moroccan oil.
ReplyDeleteyou look so pretty!! and well done for being brave :) i used to have my hair right down to the bottom of my back, and getting it cut of was the scariest thing!

ReplyDeleteOh my gosh Oh my gosh! I love it. :)
ReplyDeleteNew hair cuts can be so much fun. I love that shinny/healthy/soft feeling. Plus it can be really cathartic. :)
You look fab!
ReplyDeleteI got some moroccan oil recently as well and I can surely agree with you - it feels wonderful in my hair and smells divine!
You look so sweet with shorter hair! x hivenn
ReplyDeleteI lOVE it! :)

You look nice, but i like better the long hair XDD, anyway you hair looks so healthy and pretty
ReplyDeleteI have long hair and I've been toying with the idea of cutting it short so this definitely makes it very tempting. Glad you love it, it looks great!!
ReplyDeletexx
Looks awesome Amanda!
ReplyDeleteWow... Your new hair looks great! It always nice to have that new hair feeling
ReplyDeleteyou took the plunge and the results are amazing. You know it is the strangest thing that you went to Carletonville, it is the smallest little place no one knows about, I actually have family there!!haha I remember as a child feeling particularly bored and hot there xxx
ReplyDeleteI am from a small village in the north called Rustenburg...
High five for your bravery! The new do looks fantastic on you too!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I am seriously contemplating a good chop to mine too this week. I hope I can pull it off as well as you do!
ReplyDeleteYou should be happy, it looks amazing! I love it.
ReplyDeletelooks awesome, your hair is so cute :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh you did it. It looks really nice. I thought you meant even shorter... But i like this length. And yep i use morrocan oil too... So good!!!!
ReplyDeletePs. Was at finders keepers yesterday will send you email today. Xoxo
I keep wanting to do the same thing, but I can't bare to part with my long hair. It took so long to grow, you're really brave for cutting off so much! I've been meaning to try moroccon oil for myself, but have yet to get my hands on a bottle of the stuff. Where did you get yours?
ReplyDeleteI love it! Sometimes cutting off some hair is the best thing. And yes to bangs as well. Glad to hear you are happy with the big change! xx
ReplyDeleteHaha I knew you would. Once you start thinking about it that's it. Looks lovely - I don't think there's any hairstyle that you would look terrible with anyways.
ReplyDeletei know how daring it can be to cut off all of your hair! you look completely awesome before and after, but i love the cut!

oh i really should get some of my length cut off too, my hair isn't as long as yours was but its been neglected of the hairdressers!
ReplyDeleteI just stumbled over your blog by chance and I love it. You have to admit that you still have "long hair" after the cut... :)! But this way or the other, you look beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYou look so ridiculously gorgeous, your hair is beautiful!! =) xo
