chop!

I've been feeling very bored with my hair lately. 

It's so long that it just knots up so easily and creates horribly painful matted ends (sorry for that lovely visual.) The amount of brushing and tugging that I have the put my hair through just to make it manageable has taken it's toll and my locks were looking more ragged than red-carpet-worthy.

SO, I booked a very spontaneous appointment at my local hairdressers. I walked in and demanded that she chop the whole thing off! Very unlike me as I haven't had hair shorter than collar-bone length since I was 12. I loved long hair, I loved curling it and putting it up and when it was co-operating with me it looked lovely. But when it wasn't, it was a nightmare. 

This is my hair before:

Aaaaand this is after:

Snip, snip! It may not look very drastic to you but this is MEGA short for me! I showed my hairdresser some pictures from Pinterest for some inspiration and she gave me this lovely choppy, collar-bone length style! I kept my fringe pieces still long as I still wanted to be able to put all of my hair up if I want to. 

Overall, I really really love it! I feel like a whole new person! My hair looks and feels so much healthier now and I'm so glad I took the plunge and changed my style up a bit.

What do you think of my new hair? xox
