I hide no more

There's always a time when I suddenly feel like changing. And the biggest change I can do is my hair, that's why you keep seeing me with different hair styles/ colour.

I caught myself checking out too many short hair-dos, be it bob cut or boy cut. When I had short hair I wanted to have long hair because I can do a lot of things with it, but when I have long hair, meh. I barely even tie it up. I don't know how to tie a pony tail.

On a good day it takes me around 5 minutes to tie a pony tail, only to untie it and repeat, and ending with giving up. The only joy I have is when I curl my hair, but because I wash my hair in the morning and don't have enough time to curl it to go to work, that is my limited edition joy.

The limited changes I can do even with long hair.

As my hair grew longer and longer, I realize that my confidence kept dropping and dropping.
Maybe it's a psychological thing. 
I have something to hide behind. 

After 2 years of letting my hair grow, I went from 

to


Ok, it's not very obvious here. It's reaches my boobs. 
I went through all my pictures and realize that I didn't have a lot of full body shots.
None of the pictures show how long my hair is. 

And I forgot to take a pic before I did anything to it *sigh*

I went to the saloon near my office and I asked the stylist to curl my hair. I wanted change, but I didn't need to involve cutting. If curling was fine then I would be happy too. 

Unfortunately, after curling my hair, it became fragile and jelly-like.



The stylist said he had to cut the ends off and I was left with shoulder length hair. 
The curls wasn't even obvious and were really messy. 
After the curling and washing and cutting, it was really late already,
so I had to go back the next day.

I went home and realize that even after he cut off around 6 inches of my hair,
the remaining was still really coarse and messy.

The defeated look.

I went back the next day and made up my mind that I should just cut everything off.
I can't stand not being able to run my fingers through my hair. 
My hand was stuck among the head-bush and I don't know how much I will need to spend on hair treatment to get it back to normal again. 

Since my hair is already so dry, I can't do rebonding so I'll have to live with coarse and ugly hair. 

In the end, I cut and dyed it red. It was the first time ever I got the red that I wanted.


 First day, after cutting and dying, facing the sun. 
Ok so it looks purplish... But I swear it was red. 


And, voila. Short hair ftw. 

That's what J_Fish has to say~ Au Revoir~
p.s. Tell me what you think about my new hair. =D
