Right before Willa was born I posted a bit about how out of control my hair was. Fast forward nine months later I still hadn't gotten it cut. (It's not a phobia, it's just I have become a sloth when it comes to personal grooming that involves planning and expense.) Finally my friend Emily made an appointment for me because she was tired of hanging out with a Yeti. Anyway, to cut a long story short, (Ha! See what I did there?) I got butched! Okay, I know it's technically a long haircut but I have hair dysmorphia so it looks and feels extremely short to me. Here is the before pic , you'll see what I mean. Dramatic difference. I am happy with it, which is nice. Honestly I could not have come out of there looking worse so the whole thing was pretty low risk. The best thing is that it's over and I don't have to do it for another 3 years. Kidding stylist Dave! Six weeks, bro, six weeks.
Beautiful!
I recently had 3 inches of hair cut off and was all, "but it's tooooooo shoooooort!" I also have the hair dysmorphia problem.

I think your hair looks great! I cut mine way short for my 30th birthday, and I'm completely loving it. It seems like every two weeks it's a new cut as it grows towards my shoulders.

hott as hell. I have a pact with my hairdresser for him to be up front with me the minute I can no longer pull off the past-shoulder-length hair.
braine, I thought you were on vacation.

You are a total hottie.
I just chopped all my hair off too, but mine really is short!

Totally unrelated - I just checked out the Momku link. You Haiku! I may have to finally break down and twitter too to get a regular dose.

Great hair! Is that a new color, or newish? I thought of you as somewhere on the redhead spectrum. In any case, you look smashing. I love when bloggers who rarely post their own image surprise us with a full-on picture. Fun, fun, fun.
So has Willa starting pulling your hair yet? Roo kind of tugs mine pleasantly, but the tugs have been getting more emphatic of late.

Ditto what E. said: I always lurk (but rarely post), but it was quite surprising to see a full-on shot. Your new cut looks great! Almost looks like you had enough taken off to donate...?

I love everything about this story, but especially the friend making the appointment and the terrific result. Rawr.
