Baby's First Haircut!

September 20th- Forever will mark the day when I had my hair cut...again. I have been attempting to grow it out for six months and never imagined that I would cut it so soon after. In order for me to NOT closely resemble Carol Brady, ( from the Brady Bunch) I had to fix this 'situation', FAST! **Please refer to the photo if you are unaware of the horrendous coif of Mrs. Brady.**
Looking back to pre-haircut, Allie sure did have some fun trying to fix a white girl's hair. The things is, she had no Godly clue what she is doing with the 'L.A. Looks' and my hair.She did a few experiments and I have evidence to go along with my case. So how you YOU feel about the 'pedophile look'?(left).

As the evening progresses, it is all fun and games...

...until it just isn't fun anymore.

The bottle was 2 oz. I have 1 oz. in my hair. Ew.

On another trip to Athens, I planned to get my haircut. This trip had been planned for quite sometime now, really it was based around a trip to Belmont. Before our venture, I went to get my haircut. This is what it looked like right before I left the house. It is longer in the back and has evenly grown in.

On Saturday, Emily and I went to Belmont-Abbey College (near Charlotte, like a three hour drive from Athens) to see a performance by Dave Barnes. This was definitely an anticipatory event I must say! I think we were more anxious because of the lack of information and planning on BAC's behalf. Patrick Motter...(ew, I get angry just saying his name) was supposed to be more helpful, but not to our surprise, he wasn't.
Emily and I always learn a few things while we're together. Occurring through divine or supernatural intervention, the tallest person in the entire venue will be strategically placed directly in front of us, right next to the either a) obnoxious, hippie dancers; or 2) the drunkards. This time we were fortunate enough to be embedded between the man who closely embodies Paul Bunyan and the girls who wish they were at Bonnaroo.

Yeah,you see those small specks in the foreground? Yeah,that's us.
And just think, this is him sitting down!


Anyway, the trip was amazing. We got to eat, lounge, and sleep in a Paul Bunyan sized bed, it was AMAZING. The only photo I have of my new hair, is with Dave Barnes. So here it is, with a clip to hold up the strays.I got the back trimmed, as well as the bangs, and I did get layers throughout my head. I like the new cut and hope that it grows out with some sort style, for I have been lacking it for the past six months.

Six Months Old!

Well, it has been a whole six months since. I know that from the picture it does not really seem like that much hair, but if you really think about it, it is inches long. From very short stubble --> to a 'functional do'.I was thinking, people actually get their hair cut like this, so I feel more normal now.
With the length that it is, it gets surprisingly hot in this heat. I am actually perplexed as to why though.My hair is neither heavy or long, so i don't really understand how it works. Recently, to get the little hairs out of my way, I have used headbands and bandannas. I look incredibly silly and I feel the need to share it with you. It feels so much better to have the hair off of me. I guess it really did help to have shorter hair this summer, when it was hot. I won't miss this heat, so winter can get here now, I'm ready.
I do miss, however, having the possibility of putting my hair up in a ponytail or even in bobby pins. I want to be able to do that, it isn't quite there yet.Oh well, can't have everything. Let's just hope that in another six months that I will be able to, if not, we have a SERIOUS problem.
Until the next post, which shall be in the near future I suppose...I think it is time to get a hair trim, so the next time it might be shorter, sigh. But hey, it will at least be even, thank goodness!
