virtual haircuts.

I just found the funniest slash awesomest website ever. I'm getting a haircut on Wednesday and have been trying to figure out what to do. My hair has been feeling so BLAH lately (really, it told me), but I am not one for drastic changes. They scare me. I think I'm mostly bored with my hair because it barely has any style and has a super boring part. So, I'm planning on getting some highlights to brighten my hair up for the long winter and get a cut that's fresh and fun. And not too difficult to handle. I went through the bangs thing last year and while I enjoyed them, it was so annoying to have to cut them all the time. And it was nearly impossible to wear a winter hat or hood with them and still have them look decent.

Anyway, I found this super amazing program on MarieClaire.com where you can upload your own picture and give yourself virtual haircuts. I've been having way too much fun with it, though it's sort of creepy to see yourself with different hair, especially since many of the styles look like wigs.

I think I might go with something along this style; it allows me to kind of have bangs without being stuck with them. And it gets rid of my boring part. But this is far too short for me and I will need a lot more length:Of course, these pictures assume that everyone has the perfect hair day every day, whereas I have the perfect hair day maybe 3 times a year. And I don't think I could ever make my hair as thick and full-looking as it is in the picture.

I would love to just screw it all and dye my hair brown, but I think that would be way too drastic and shocking (and would give my mom a heart attack). I'm too much of a wuss to dye my hair a color that it isn't even close to in real life. At least my blonde highlights bring out the natural blonde in my hair

Haha this site is seriously entertaining. Try it! Ew, for the first time, I'm actually happy my hair cannot be curled like this.

That is horrendous! I could keep going. Really. But work must get done and time needs to stop being wasted on giving myself hideous hairstyles. Too bad.

no more split ends.

Is there anything better than getting a fresh haircut? I seriously feel 10 pounds lighter just from getting a few inches off. The ends of my hair are perfectly straight and no longer disgustingly split. Thankk goodness. I am a slacker and don't get haircuts as much as I should; despite the fact that my hair grows extremely quickly, which means it's usually ridiculously long. Luckily I was blessed with roots that somehow don't grow in too hideously. Just mildly.

But my hair feels sooo healthy now that it is evenly cut and re-highlighted. Plus I have the best hairdresser ever who charges me next to nothing, makes me food, takes me to the beauty supply store and buys me anything I want at obnoxiously cheap prices, and is a fabulous friend. It seriously doesn't get any better than that. I love not having split ends.
