It's done. I now have short hair!

Well, it’s done! I’m a little in shock and it’s going to take a few days to get used to it, but it’s a good cut. Just shorter than I’d hoped. Oh well. Like I said, hair is a renewable resource! :)

Below are a few pics from the process, but I added a few more to my fotki album here:

I knew the hair needed to be clean and dry, so that morning I washed it twice with Gentle Lather Shampoo, conditioned with Weekly Deep Conditioning Treatment, let it air dry and put it in a braid. This pic is in the salon, right before she re-braided it and chopped it off.



This is after she re-braided it and cut it:


This is Noelle, my stylist, making the first big cut. She looks a little too into it, don't you think? :-)


This is after the first cut and before she re-wet it and did the shaping portion of the cut:



This is after I styled it myself at the salon:



I had NO idea how much Rockin’ Ringlets and Confident Coils to use, because, as you can see, it’s SO MUCH SHORTER! :-) So the final pic in this posting is when it was still a little wet and without the right amount of product. Over the next week or so I’ll post updates as I learn how best to style this new short do I have! :-)
