Haircut:Before and After

This is how I've looked for the last two decades (and it's weird to say two decades!). My hair is long, and fairly straight. In fact, that's how I've looked for all my life except for the first two years after birth (when I was bald) and for 7th Grade, when I got a perm and bangs for The Claw.

Well, it was my birthday. I'm in my mid-thirties, and I'm going for a new look. I got bangs!

Do I like them? Yes. But I think I look like a totally different person, so I'm getting used to the stranger in the mirror. Amazing how bangs can change a person's look--if I were needing a disguise, this would be a useful tip to know. It took my 2 yr old 10 minutes of hugging to get used to it. Several people I ran into when I was out doing errands did a double take, they knew I looked familiar but.... So I'm not alone in this feeling that I look different.

But it's good to shake things up a bit, and get out of my comfort zone. :)
