CHOP CHOP! Donating My Hair

I finally did! After over a year of talking about it (ahem, making excuses!), I finally chopped my superlong hair and donated it to Locks of Love.

"You're not gonna cry on me, are you?" my hair stylist said. Amazingly, I didn't even flinch. And after he hacked through my thick pony and swiveled my chair to face the mirror, I couldn't contain my smiles. For years, I've worn my hair long. Now--11 inches later and lighter--I'm sporting a sleek, A-line bob. (Admittedly, I asked for something Posh-ish. A major cut deserves a "major" look.)

My favorite part? Now that my locks are not so weighed down, my new dishy 'do gets serious beach curls--naturally. I just flip my hair in the shower, apply and rise out my Terax Crema Conditioner while my hair hangs upside down, and then towel-scrunch out the excess water. Then I use Jonathan Product Create Curl Curling Serum and finish with a spritzing of Fekkai Summer Hair Beach Waves. When I want to go sleek and straight, I beeline for my T3 Featherweight Dryer and ghd styler.

If you're thinking of taking the cutting plunge, I have one tip: Don't tell anyone! Building it up will only psyche you out and make your reconsider. My chop was top secret, and I absolutely loved seeing everyone's surprised reaction.

Newly short & sassy,
Mari

Mari! You should mention how many of the girls in your office are about to show up with direct rip-off copycat cuts.
Forget The Posh. I'm asking for The Greek Blunt-Cut Goddess.

We should be careful and discriminating in all the par‘nesis we give. We should be extraordinarily painstaking in giving guidance that we would not think of following ourselves. Most of all, we ought to refrain from giving recommendation which we don't imitate when it damages those who depreciate us at our word.
