A Hairy Situation...

Mostly just pictures today.

Skippy, brace yourself...

Down to the top curve of my bum. Butt length was the goal. Check the box. Really shows the color gradation I had going as well.

One last before, from this morning. Figured I should show you how it draped in the front.

Yes, that's just over a foot of hair. Hair or foot? Hairy foot. Like a hobbit?

Nowhere close to my bum. No matter how many squats I do. It's funny how dark the middle, now the ends, look now that the really dark part is cut off.

And from the front. Sara says I look more like myself now. I think it's the difference between wearing an outfit and the outfit wearing you. My hair was it's own thing there at the end.

And done. I'll decide how short or how long I want it to be later. For now this feels REALLY short. I keep doing the automatic reach back to move it out of the way, and it's not there. Tomorrow I imagine I will pour out way too much shampoo and conditioner as well.

But, overall I'm pleased with it. Glad I stuck it out to get enough for another donation. Glad I could still grow it that long. I know that's a weird thing to wonder about, but you already knew I was weird. And really glad I no longer have to fight with it constantly.

Sorry, Skip, I'll write you a poem later to make you feel better...
