Another Mane Bites the Dust

Of course, I'm talking about the Post-Wedding Chop! I've had long hair my whole life...well, that's not entirely true. I chopped it off to my shoulders when I graduated from college. I thought it would make me look more grown up and, therefore, more like a graduate student. Instead, it just flipped out all funky at the ends and never did what I wanted it to do. I simply couldn't pull it off. I also had shorter hair when I was little, but I'm pretty sure I could pull anything off then.

The bottom line is that I never saw myself hopping on the PWC bandwagon because I loved my hair long.

Then, out of nowhere, I just got sick of it! It was always in a ponytail at work and at the gym, then I just started wearing it in a ponytail all the time. Then, the ponytail started to feel too long. I'd had enough, and decided to go for it. I figured that if I absolutely hated it, I only had to wait a few months before it was long again. What did I have to lose besides some inches?

So, here we go. Before...

...and after:

That's eleven inches off! Yikes! Sometimes I miss my long hair, but most of the time I just feel a little more edgy and that's fun.

What about you? Are you planning on doing a PWC?
